“He ended up staying at the airport for several days and recording videos saying things like ‘I’m not leaving until Rae picks me up, I know she wants to see me.’ and it’s really, really crazy. He’s like ‘If she goes to Coachella without me I’m going to be really really sad.'”

The streamer went on to explain that she had never interacted with this person and believed he had real mental issues because he believed she wanted him to fly out to see her.
She added: “Seeing his videos really reminded me that anyone can watch you and build this sort of parasocial mindset with any streamer or content creator they watch, and it’s dangerous.”
This isn’t the first time Rae has dealt with a stalker, she had to make her Twitter profile private in 2021 due to someone stalking her there.
