Mark Bouris opens up about being targeted by online stalker

·

Mark Bouris, one of Australia’s most prominent businessmen, has shared his experience of being targeted by an online stalker who even showed up at his home.

Speaking out for the first time about this troubling incident, Bouris is lending his voice to Unplug24, an initiative encouraging Australians to take a break from social media today, October 24.

Joining him in this 24-hour online boycott are well-known figures such as singer Jessica Mauboy, Home and Away star Ada Nicodemou, and fitness experts Michelle Bridges and Sam Wood.

The founder of Wizard and Yellow Brick Road, as well as the former “CEO” of Celebrity Apprentice Australia, Bouris told News Corp: “I have been the target on Twitter, before it was X, of stalking.”

“I had one person turn up to my home three or four years ago. I had to call the police. The person was incoherent,” Bouris said.

“They had (initially) come to me on social media. They tried to connect through Twitter. It was a barrage… Then they said they had seen me at a yoga class.

“It got out of hand. Some people might have been really alarmed… I had to get the authorities involved. Then it just stopped.

“I didn’t feel particularly threatened, but that’s probably just my personality. I can imagine that many people would feel unsafe.”
