That’s when I completely freaked out,” she said. The man began screaming accusations at her, which only heightened her fear. The most disturbing part of the encounter was the realization that she was surrounded by dozens of people, yet no one intervened. “It felt so isolating, even in a crowd,” she noted, reflecting on the bystander effect.

In a panic, Sistine took off running, hoping to lose him in the bustling streets. “I sprinted through the crowd, thinking I could escape,” she explained. Despite her efforts, the man continued to pursue her on his bike, weaving through pedestrians as she desperately tried to evade him.

Finally, in a moment of quick thinking, Sistine dashed into a nearby Sephora store. Familiar with the layout, she knew it offered potential hiding spots. She ducked behind a makeup counter, her heart racing as she peeked out to see if the man had followed her inside. To her horror, he burst in, shouting threats and insisting he would find her.

Feeling vulnerable, Sistine crouched down, terrified that the situation might escalate. Thankfully, store employees recognized something was wrong and quickly intervened. One employee approached her, asking if she was okay, and offered to help. “I must have looked really suspicious, hiding and panting,” Sistine said, but she explained her situation. The staff acted quickly, trying to keep the man at bay until help arrived.

After what felt like an eternity, police officers arrived and apprehended the man, allowing Sistine to finally breathe a sigh of relief. “I was so shaken, but I knew I was safe now,” she shared.

Reflecting on the incident, Sistine hopes her story serves as a cautionary tale for women everywhere. She emphasized the importance of staying aware and alert, offering practical advice: “Don’t wear headphones and keep your head up. Trust your instincts—if something feels off, it probably is.”

Sistine, along with her sisters Sophia and Scarlet, is part of the Stallone family, which has been featured in their recent Paramount+ reality show, giving fans a glimpse into their lives beyond the spotlight. Her candid recounting of this terrifying experience underscores the need for vigilance and awareness, particularly in bustling urban settings.
