Michael Joseph Branham, suspected of stalking and harassing Scarlett Johansson, was arrested for planning a bombing at the “Saturday Night Live” studio, where the actress’s husband, Colin Jost, works.
According to police documents obtained by the New York Post, Michael Joseph Branham is the stalker who had been harassing Scarlett Johansson. He was arrested after threatening to place a bomb in the “Saturday Night Live” studio.
The husband of the “Black Widow” actress, Colin Jost, works on the show. The documents also show that the suspect had a heart-shaped tattoo with Scarlett Johansson’s name.
Branham also allegedly sent threats to the actress. “Next time you hear from me, I’ll be on CNNC for blowing up a bomb in the ‘Saturday Night Live’ audience,” he wrote in a text message.
According to police records, Scarlett Johansson’s stalker had followed the “Her” star for a year and even appeared at her house, where the actress had already requested a restraining order from the courts.
The suspect reportedly claimed to be the father of Scarlett’s child and that the actress had bought him a car.
A Manhattan court indicted Branham on charges of false testimony regarding an incident and threatening mass harm. He may face the trial while out on bail if he pays the $300,000 bail.
