I feel second-hand fear & paranoia on behalf of celebs whose home addresses are public worldwide knowledge.

Anyone can google their address and show up/take pictures/lurk/stalk,

But thankfully most people would never think to do such a thing nor have any inclination to do so,

but the fact that they COULD and sometimes HAVE, is very concerning 😟

I wish sensitive information like that could be kept proprietary and wasn’t so easy for anyone in the world to access.

You know as a matter of fact, it’s much more difficult to find the address of acquaintances we know in daily life. Which is a good thing.

How terrifying it must b for celebrities, so they have body guards and a security detail and full-fledged security system at their houses 😥 it’s exhausting thinking about it.

    As I’m not a celebrity, I’m guessing there’s quite a few more options than most of us are aware of. One example I could think of is for the celeb to make an LLC and have that LLC buy the house they’re living in.

    I’m sure that nearly all celebrities/public figures, once a certain amount famous, encounter crazy people that they should be fearful of.

    I don’t feel bad for them for this part. Its part of the price of being a public figure. I don’t know why people wish for fame. Seems like its a mountain of trouble to deal with.

      Ooh I wonder if they could use their LLC to buy a decoy house so everyone in the world thinks they live there but they actually don’t.

        The LLC would be a holding company, so on the deed instead of it saying “Taylor Swift” it would say “United Holdings Conglomerate LLC” as the deed.

          okay that’s all fine and good, but eventually somehow the address of the place where the celebrity sleeps every night gets leaked, and the public gets all excited about it. This is what worries me on their behalf.
