On January 12, Miley Cyrus commemorated a year since the release of her enormously popular ‘self-love’ anthem, Flowers . More than 1.16 billion people have listened to Cyrus’ infectious song globally, and the Wrecking Ball hitmaker marked the anniversary with a series of monochromatic photos on Instagram. However, a nightmarish incident soon unfolded at her luxurious LA home when, on January 13th, 52-year-old Alexander Karddalian showed up at her million-dollar mansion at 1 am to present Cyrus a ‘toke of his love.’

As per TMZ, after being identified, Cyrus’ security team quickly took custody of the accused stalker and turned him over to the LAPD. Karddalian had arrived with a stuffed toy at the We Can’t Stop songstress gates and tried to meet her; however, she luckily escaped the encounter despite being home at that time.

“Miley claims she’s been dealing with this Karddalian since at least 2018…he did some time in San Quentin before allegedly pulling up at her crib in 2022 upon release,” a close source revealed. As per Marca , due to a comparable occurrence from the previous year, Cyrus was granted a restraining order against him. As stated in the court documents, the When I Look At You songstress stated that Karddalian had come to her residence only a few days following his prison release. Cyrus further revealed that her stalker had also been sending unwelcome letters in which he had outlined his obsessions with her that extended back to 2018.
As per The Daily Mail , Cyrus also stated in the lawsuit that the alleged stalker had requested financial support multiple times and made sexually suggestive remarks. The Angels Like You songstress said that after Karddalian allegedly showed up at her Los Angeles home without permission twice in the summer of 2022, his ‘obsessive conduct’ grew even more troubling. After being detained in December 2022, Karddalian was released from San Quentin State Prison in August of the same year. Cyrus further stated that she received a letter from Karddalian promising to visit her home as soon as he was released from prison.
According to court records, Karddalian has been using the Jaded songstress’ home address for matters of health insurance. The ‘mentally disturbed’ person, according to Cyrus, is facing ‘ severe psychological issues’ and has a ‘dangerous fascination and/or obsession’ with her life. The singer has further stated that she fears for her safety and that of her mother, Tish, and boyfriend, Maxx Morando, due to the person’s actions.
