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.<\/p>\n
He disclosed a chilling encounter with a stalker who threatened his life, allegedly at the behest of his comedy partner, Mel Smith.<\/p>\n
Rees-Jones shared the harrowing ordeal he faced while working on the comedy show “Alas!<\/p>\n
Smith & Jones,” where he lived in constant fear for his safety.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
The distressing situation began unfolding shortly after the debut of their show in 1984, initially dismissed as harmless fan mail.<\/p>\n
However, the letters soon took a dark turn, escalating into menacing messages that left Rees-Jones deeply unsettled.<\/p>\n
The turning point came when the stalker directed a threat towards Mel Smith, suggesting he could eliminate Rees-Jones upon Smith’s signal.<\/p>\n
This revelation shook both comedians, making them realize the imminent danger posed by the obsessed individual.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Despite their strong bond and successful collaboration, the sinister presence of the stalker cast a shadow over their friendship.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
The relentless fear and anxiety consumed Rees-Jones, disrupting his sleep and appetite as he remained hyper-vigilant for any sign of danger.<\/p>\n
Every noise became a potential threat, keeping him awake at night, haunted by the looming danger orchestrated by the mysterious stalker.<\/p>\n
The mental anguish he endured was indescribable, a torment that seemed never-ending and insurmountable.<\/p>\n
In a shocking twist, the identity of Rees-Jones’ stalker was unveiled, revealing an unexpected figure – Meghan Markle.<\/p>\n
At the time, a young woman residing in Los Angeles, far from her future role as the Duchess of Sussex and British royalty.<\/p>\n
Rees-Jones expressed disbelief at the revelation, finding it surreal that someone of Markle’s stature could have harbored such sinister intentions towards him.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
