Harry Styles appeared in court this week after he was relentlessly stalked by a homeless dude. Apparently the dude got a bit obsessed with Harry after he bought him some food. Jeez, the poor fucker can’t even do a good deed without being stalked.
Harry Styles said he bought the guy some food three months ago because he ‘felt sorry for him’. He initially tried to give him money but Pablo Tarazaga-Orero refused it on religious grounds. Bit weird! That’s when Harry went and bought him some bits from a local vegan cafe. Harry said:
He told me that he couldn’t accept the money for religious reasons.
I asked him if he needed any food, he asked for some edamame beans.
I stopped at a vegan cafe, I bought two sandwiches, two salads, two muffins all heated then took them to Pablo.
I passed him the bag of food through the car window at which point he asked me if I wanted to go to a restaurant to eat with him.
I told him I was on my way to work. I found it a little odd.
His facial expression made me feel a little uneasy.
It was like a smirk.Until that point, I never felt unsafe or uneasy in my own home.
All sounds legit right? That’s not how Pablo remembers it though – he instead reckons Harry offered him money to have ‘fun’ in a hotel, which Harry obviously denies. I mean yeah, I’m not a fan of Harry or One Direction but I’d bet money on the fact that Harry wouldn’t try to suck off a tramp.
Pablo become so besotted with Harry he ended up posting notes and money through Harry’s letterbox and started following him to his local pub. He even tried to grab Harry while he was out jogging through Regent’s Park one afternoon. Pablo also told Harry’s neighbour that he was ‘the soulmate of Harry Styles’ and was ‘spiritually protecting him’. Jesus! Me thinks he wishes Harry paid him to have ‘fun’ in a hotel. Harry continues:
I never really encountered this kind of behaviour before. I’ve employed a night guard. I continue to lock my bedroom door at night. He would sit in my eye line at the pub. He tried to speak to me on the second occasion as I was leaving.
He would just kind of watch and look over and wait for me to leave. I was very confused very very uncomfortable, very confused, I didn’t really understand it.
That’s pretty menacing behaviour. Thankfully District Judge Nigel Dean was on Harry’s side. He said:
It would be fair for me to say at this stage that I found Mr Styles to be a reliable and credible witness.
Mr Styles felt sorry for a young man who he saw to be living without a home during the winter when it was cold and raining very heavily and having first noticed him he then out of goodness of his heart stopped and offered to fund the defendant’s hotel accommodation that evening.
These were honest, well intended, good intentions from somebody who was trying to help another for whom he felt sorry and who he thought was down on his luck.He knew perfectly well that what he was doing at that stage amounted to harassment of Mr Styles.
I’m quite satisfied that this behaviour had the effect of harassing Mr Styles.
Pablo is currently awaiting sentencing, but it looks like he might get himself a bed and some hot meals after all. Dunno if the clink serve up edamame though mate.
