Baywatch star Alexandra Paul will never forget the traumatic experience she had for over a decade. Speaking in an interview, the actress opened up about the most dreaded chapter of her life when an unknown woman was stalking her. For fear of being hurt by this persistent Alexandra, she noted that she had spent over $60,000 on legal fees.
The actress, who played the role of Lt. Stephanie Holden in the Baywatch series, reported that her stalker went to the extent of hitting her husband with a car. The series aired from 1989 to 2001, comprising 11 seasons in total, and became the most-watched television series in the world, with over a billion viewers worldwide.
Alexandra Paul spent $60k in legal fees after being stalked for over a decade
Alexandra Paul’s experience for more than 13 years was life-threatening for herself and other family members. She recalled that “the hardest part” of the situation was knowing that their stalker was following them and worrying they would get hurt. The stalker was “a white European woman, conventionally attractive, neatly dressed, and 20 years younger.”
Initially, Alexandra assumed the young woman trailing her around was innocent until she saw her enter her car through the passenger door as she was leaving the grocery store after shopping. Alexandra was utterly terrified and flew out of her car, running back to the store to ask for a security guard’s help. This particular experience had a profound emotional toll on her. However, her stalker did not stop after that attempt. Even after Alexandra got back into her car and locked the doors, her stalker continued to bang on the windows. The actress recalled how fearful it was for her even to raise her head to see what was happening.

After several dreadful incidents, Alexandra sought restraining orders, and her stalker was jailed and deported back to Germany. However, this did not stop. She returned, assaulting not only her but her family members as well.
Now that the stalking has ended, she often recalls the situation and how sad it was that her stalker only stopped attacking her after her death. Alexandra is presently a vegan who cohosts the plant-based lifestyle podcast Switch4Good with Olympian Dotsie Bausch.
