Damn they convicted him fairly quickly. Good, I hope she can know peace with him not bothering her.

I feel like the high security hospital (I'm not an expert on these things, I only know normal psych hospitals) suggests that the court figured that it wasn't all drugs, if any.

My guess is maybe some form of erotomania but that tends to make people think they're in a relationship with the victim, not rape threats. His "I didn't think she would see the messages" is suspect too because he kept sending them. He wanted her to see them and be frightened. Fuck him.

more info from the source:

Read aloud in Rennes Criminal Court, one message sent to the star threatened the star with his knowledge of the Roissy Charles de Gaulle airport, into which she was flying, and said that if he didn’t hear from her within 24 hours of receiving his message, “she will tremble.”
(..)
The public prosecutor in the case noted that, based on the man’s behavior until this point, “we could fear a very probable act,” as “we are dealing with someone sick and [an] erotomaniac.”
(..)
He was arrested initially for the barrage of threatening messages on Feb. 7, and hospitalized for psych treatment-but he continued the behavior once he was released from that hospital. He was arrested again on Wednesday, and this time faces a more severe five-year term.

so definitely not just the drugs

I just don’t get why celebrities or their teams don’t limit dms to friends only. Why did Zendaya’s team allow literally thousands of disturbing messages to reach her. Does not compute.

[soweto]

yeah i also wouldn’t expect celebrities to see these messages. iiii don’t even check the ‘message request’ folder on insta. BUT at the same time it seems necessary to have someone check so that you can be aware of possible danger. so scary.

[ohwutevernvm]

Horrifying and sickening. That shiiii scary. Hope Zendaya remains all safe and sound etc. Tom ain’t playin either. 🙏🏾
