Scarlett Johansson’s Alleged Stalker Arrested for Saturday Night Live Bomb Threat

In November 2023, Johansson—who shares son Cosmo, 3, with Jost and daughter Rose, 10, with ex-husband Romain Dauriac—filed a restraining order petition in a California court against a man with the same full name and of the same age as Branham, alleging that he had been harassing her since August 2022, and that his alleged behavior had escalated lately, The Blast reported.

In 2024, the court dismissed the Black Widow star’s plea for protection on a technicality—the alleged stalker never received the papers. Per The Blast, Johansson’s attorney confirmed he had been unable to serve him.

A person with Branham’s name—whose location also matches that of a person with an identical name and age in public records—has shared several posts about Johansson on social media over the past month, including a selfie showing him bearing a chest tattoo of a human heart with her name written on it, according to a review by E! News.

E! and NBC News’ parent company NBCUniversal declined to comment about the arrest, NBC News reported.
