Scarlett Johansson's Stalker Arrested for Threatening SNL Studio

A 48-year-old man named Michael Joseph Branham has been arrested for allegedly threatening to blow up the SNL studio where Scarlett Johansson's husband, Colin Jost, works. Branham was taken into custody on April 2 in New York City after sending a text message stating, "The next time you receive a text from me, I will be on CNN for blowing up the audience at Saturday Night Live."

According to a criminal complaint confirmed by the New York Post, prosecutors have classified Branham as a dangerous individual and charged him with a felony. He is reported to have developed an unhealthy obsession with Johansson.

His bail has been set at over $100,000. Branham's attorney claims in court that he was scammed by someone impersonating Johansson.

Branham is known to have a large heart tattoo on his body with Johansson's name inscribed within it. In November 2023, he appeared at Johansson's home claiming to be the father of one of her children, prompting her to seek a restraining order, which she was unable to obtain.

He has also left several letters and children's toys outside her mansion, expressing a desire to meet his child and spend time as a father. Additionally, he has posted on social media as if he were in a relationship with Johansson.

Branham is scheduled to appear in court on April 8.
