Psychos, every celebrity’s got one: A man accused of stalking businesswoman and former model Ivanka Trump was arrested in Reno, Nevada this week.
Justin Massler — a New York out West visiting his mother — was arrested Tuesday on a warrant alleging he used the Internet to stalk the 28-year-old newlywed daughter of Donald and Ivana Trump, according to The Reno Gazette-Journal. Massler, a blogger who authors The Ivanka Trump Fan Blog, described himself in one posting as “a celebrity stalker who is obsessed” with the Celebrity Apprentice star.
Massler’s mother, Randee Massler, admits her son has some emotional issues but adds that he has only written about Trump on the Internet and has never been a threat to her.
“He is sick and has a history of mental illness,” Randee Massler said. “He never harmed anyone and hasn’t done anything other than write articles on the internet. He hasn’t come anywhere close to Ivanka Trump,” she insisted. “He’s like a 10-year-old who has a crush on a movie star.
Massler is currently being held in the Washoe County Jail in Reno.
