A Canadian woman charged with stalking actor Alec Baldwin was ordered to jail after she ignored a judge's warning not to interrupt witnesses in her trial Wednesday.Genevieve Sabourin, 41, was warned by the judge repeatedly during the first day of testimony Tuesday, but her outbursts on Wednesday drew a contempt order and a 30-day jail sentence.
When a teary Baldwin testified in the New York City courtroom Tuesday he denied having had a romance with his alleged stalker. Sabourin, an aspiring actress, heckled "you're lying!"Her outbursts Wednesday continued as the doorman from Baldwin's apartment building testified about Sabourin's April 8, 2012, attempt to visit the actor there.
The actor's wife, Hilaria Baldwin, who was then engaged to him, told the doorman that Sabourin was a stalker and that she would call police, he testified. Sabourin called Hilaria "a bitch and a prostitute" before leaving the building, he said. Baldwin, wife Hiliaria introduce daughter CarmenShe says she's not a stalker, but an ex-girlfriend of the"30 Rock" television star. Sabourin began her testimony Wednesday afternoon, detailing what she said were long personal phone conversations with Baldwin.
But Baldwin testified that she imagined the relationship, and she sent him numerous e-mails and voice mails along the way.
CNN obtained copies of the e-mails."I am less than 10 minutes away from you tonight. Say 'I do' to me," one e-mail says.
In another e-mail, she said she was ready to get married.
"I need to start my new life with my new name ... in my new country, help my newly husband, you!"In another e-mail, she admits defeat."
I may have lost all the battles to win your heart over in the past two years, but I've learn (sic) so much," it says.Wiping away tears, Baldwin said Sabourin's stalking has made him anxious and worried for his safety.She showed up unannounced at his New York home on the day he proposed to his now-wife, the actor said.Days later, she allegedly crashed an event the actor was hosting at New York City`s Lincoln Center.
Baldwin has admitted they had dinner once in 2010, but said that was it. They met through a mutual friend, he said.
Both Baldwin and Sabourin worked on the 2002 flop"The Adventures of Pluto Nash." Baldwin has also appeared in numerous other movies, including "Along Came Polly."His past is checkered with various conflicts including an infamous berating of his then young daughter Ireland in 2007 as a "rude, thoughtless little pig," a runin with American Airlines over his playing Words with Friends on a flight, and various scuffles with paparazzi.
Unlike the actor, who didn't say a word about the caseto reporters, Sabourin is basking in the media spotlight. She grinned widely as she shared her side of the story with a group of reporters."I'm not gonna take a reduced plea for a crime I have not committed," she said.
Sabourin has been arrested several times, including late last year for violating a court order by allegedly sending a series of tweets to Baldwin and his wife.
She was released from jail after a judge rejected a prosecution request for bail. If found guilty on the stalking charge, she faces up to a year in prison. Baldwin launches Twitter rant against journalist
