Sistine Stallone Urges Caution After Frightening Encounter in NYC
Actress Sistine Stallone, the middle daughter of Hollywood icon Sylvester Stallone, recently encountered a harrowing incident while walking in New York City. Sistine, 26, recounted the experience during an episode of the “Unwaxed” podcast, which she co-hosts with her sister Sophia Stallone.
As detailed by Sistine, the unsettling encounter began when a man on a bicycle started shouting vulgar profanities at her. She initially attempted to ignore him but the situation escalated when the man approached and physically touched her. “I freaked out,” Sistine explained, describing her fear as the man continued to pursue her for several blocks.
In an attempt to evade him, Sistine sought refuge in a nearby Sephora store. Despite believing she had shaken her pursuer, he entered the store, causing a scene and threatening her. “He was screaming at the top of his lungs, ‘You can’t hide from me,'” she recalled, explaining that store employees attempted to block him from advancing further.
During the commotion, Sistine hid behind a makeup counter and called on the authorities. Eventually, police officers apprehended the man inside the store. Sistine spent approximately 15 minutes in hiding, during which she noted, “If he comes back, I’m screwed.”
Following the ordeal, Sistine has been vocal in urging women to remain vigilant in public spaces, particularly advising against wearing headphones or looking down while walking alone. She hopes her experience serves as a poignant reminder for others to stay aware of their surroundings.
Sistine is part of a celebrated Hollywood family, with her father Sylvester Stallone known for his role in the “Rocky” series. She has two sisters, Sophia, 28, and Scarlet, 22. The Stallone family recently appeared in the reality show “The Family Stallone.”
