Valkyrae Opens Up About Her Stalker Experience
“This actually happened relatively recently. So, I have a crazed fan who actually flew in from out of state and went to the 100 Thieves compound,” Rae said.
“They warned me that this guy was looking for me and they called the cops,” she said.

“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.’”
Further, Rae clarified that she had never interacted with this person, who she believes has real mental issues. Notably, the fan believed that Rae wanted him to fly out to see her, as per a Dexerto report.
“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,” she added.
Rae is no stranger to dealing with stalkers. To recap, someone stalking her on Twitter prompted the streamer to make her Twitter profile private last year.
