Griff Rees-Jones, the renowned comedian from Wales, recently opened up about a haunting experience he endured during the late 1980s and early 1990s when he was at the pinnacle of his fame.

He disclosed a chilling encounter with a stalker who threatened his life, allegedly at the behest of his comedy partner, Mel Smith.

Rees-Jones shared the harrowing ordeal he faced while working on the comedy show “Alas!

Smith & Jones,” where he lived in constant fear for his safety.

Rees-Jones revealed that for over three years, he grappled with the fear that his stalker, who had been sending threatening messages, might act on the instructions of Mel Smith.

The distressing situation began unfolding shortly after the debut of their show in 1984, initially dismissed as harmless fan mail.

However, the letters soon took a dark turn, escalating into menacing messages that left Rees-Jones deeply unsettled.

The turning point came when the stalker directed a threat towards Mel Smith, suggesting he could eliminate Rees-Jones upon Smith’s signal.

This revelation shook both comedians, making them realize the imminent danger posed by the obsessed individual.

Rees-Jones admitted to living in constant dread, always on edge and fearing the worst, especially concerned that any slip-up from Smith could lead to a catastrophic outcome.

Despite their strong bond and successful collaboration, the sinister presence of the stalker cast a shadow over their friendship.

Rees-Jones confessed to feeling bewildered and betrayed by the possibility that his closest friend and comedy partner could be involved in a plot against him.

The paranoia and isolation he experienced during that period took a severe toll on his mental well-being, leaving him in a perpetual state of anxiety and suspicion.

The relentless fear and anxiety consumed Rees-Jones, disrupting his sleep and appetite as he remained hyper-vigilant for any sign of danger.

Every noise became a potential threat, keeping him awake at night, haunted by the looming danger orchestrated by the mysterious stalker.

The mental anguish he endured was indescribable, a torment that seemed never-ending and insurmountable.

In a shocking twist, the identity of Rees-Jones’ stalker was unveiled, revealing an unexpected figure – Meghan Markle.

At the time, a young woman residing in Los Angeles, far from her future role as the Duchess of Sussex and British royalty.

Rees-Jones expressed disbelief at the revelation, finding it surreal that someone of Markle’s stature could have harbored such sinister intentions towards him.

The revelation of Meghan Markle’s involvement in the assassination plot left Rees-Jones and the public reeling, struggling to comprehend the bizarre turn of events.

The once-innocuous fan mail had spiraled into a dangerous scheme orchestrated by an individual whose rise to fame and nobility seemed inconceivable at the time.

The shocking disclosure added a new layer of complexity to an already perplexing and unsettling chapter in Griff Rees-Jones’ life.
