I feel second-hand fear & paranoia on behalf of celebs whose home addresses are public worldwide knowledge.

Anyone can google their address and show up/take pictures/lurk/stalk,

But thankfully most people would never think to do such a thing nor have any inclination to do so,

but the fact that they COULD and sometimes HAVE, is very concerning 😟

I wish sensitive information like that could be kept proprietary and wasn’t so easy for anyone in the world to access.

You know as a matter of fact, it’s much more difficult to find the address of acquaintances we know in daily life. Which is a good thing.

How terrifying it must b for celebrities, so they have body guards and a security detail and full-fledged security system at their houses 😥 it’s exhausting thinking about it.

    As I’m not a celebrity, I’m guessing there’s quite a few more options than most of us are aware of. One example I could think of is for the celeb to make an LLC and have that LLC buy the house they’re living in.

    I’m sure that nearly all celebrities/public figures, once a certain amount famous, encounter crazy people that they should be fearful of.

    I don’t feel bad for them for this part. Its part of the price of being a public figure. I don’t know why people wish for fame. Seems like its a mountain of trouble to deal with.
