A Queens woman was arrested for interstate stalking after the FBI found she sent threatening emails and videos about the Oscar-winning French actress Marion Cotillard. Teresa Yuan said in a video, which was sent to a Cotillard fan website, "The guilt and sorrow I feel now, I won't feel after it happens. After it happens I'll feel no regrets whatsoever ... that's apparently how it feels to be a killer, to be a murderer."
The Daily News reports that the Cotillard fan website contacted the FBI after "Yuan had sent them numerous - and increasingly threatening - emails and videos... Yuan, in a series of July emails, also indicated she knew Cotillard's travel schedule and would travel to meet her. 'I can be very calm and respectful and kind, but then you push me too far or back me in a corner and this is how I feel,' the accused stalker said in another video. Then Yuan began growling and hissing into her iPhone camera." Cotillard and her family claim they are concerned for their safety. Yuan was released on $50,000 bail.
Cotillard won her Oscar for La Vie en Rose and has appeared in Public Enemies, Inception and Midnight in Paris and is currently filming The Dark Knight Rises. She is also a 9/11 conspiracy theorist.
