A man who stalked pop singer Ariana Grande for years is facing considerable jail time for his actions.

Aharon Zebulun Israel Brown, who admitted to the charges, is facing more than three years in prison. He will also be banned from having any contact with Grande for ten years following his release.

Brown is believed to have forcefully entered Grande’s home almost 100 times in an eight-month period in 2021, which led to her being granted a five-year restraining order against him. However, Brown is said to have broken the agreement a year later when he was found again in her home in Montecito, California, with a knife. 

Authorities were called to the property after Brown slashed wires connected to her alarm system.

Grande herself made a written statement in court about Brown’s actions against her. “The fact that Mr. Brown has been regularly coming to my home for over six months terrifies me,” she said. “Based on his threats, I am fearful for my safety and for the safety of my family. I fear that absent a restraining order, Mr. Brown will continue to come to my home and attempt to physically harm or murder me or members of my family.”

In 2020, Grande was granted a restraining order against a different stalker, Fidel Henriquez.

Grande recently paid ex-husband Dalton Gomez $1.25 million to settle their divorce. Since then, she has been seen frequently with her new boyfriend, Broadway actor Ethan Slater, who is currently starring in Spamalot.
