Celebrities are people, too!
In a new interview with Good Housekeeping, Justin Hartley opened up about being “sexually harassed” by an aggressive fan while out to dinner in Chicago!

The This Is Us star revealed the fan — who was “old enough to be drinking a lot” — approached his table unannounced as he was dining with a group of close friends:
“I’m not afraid to say this, because I think she should be ashamed of herself … This woman ├óΓé¼ΓÇ£ who I don’t know, a stranger to me ├óΓé¼ΓÇ£ recognized me and started screaming, going crazy. She ran over and started kissing me.”
When the 41-year-old actor responded by requesting she respect his personal space:
“I said, ├óΓé¼╦£You do not walk up to people that you do not know and put your mouth on their face. If I did that to you, I would be in prison. Please do not do that. And not that I’m trying to teach you life lessons, but I feel like this is a really good one for you. Don’t do that to anybody ever again.'”
After the two had “a little breaking of bread, if you will, and everything calmed down,” Justin says he carried on with his dinner until… the woman came back over asking for a photo! Like, really?!!
The father of one shared:
“I said, ├óΓé¼╦£I’m good.’ I’m usually really good with photos, but I’m, like, ├óΓé¼╦£I’m not taking photos with you after you sexually harassed me. I’m good without a photo.'”
Apparently, she did not take rejection well:
“As she was leaving, she was, like, ├óΓé¼╦£Justin Hartley is a jerk,’ but not really jerk ├óΓé¼ΓÇ£ something more foul. I was, like, ├óΓé¼╦£You’ve got to be kidding me.'”
Woof. Moral of the story: don’t treat people like disposable objects!
