The safety of the Cumberpatch has been compromised, with reports that an obsessed Cumberbitch has been leaving mysterious red ribbons outside her favourite actor’s home in a possible tribute to Sherlock.
Benedict Cumberbatch, whose wife Sophie Hunter recently gave birth to the couple’s first son, contacted the Metropolitan Police and made a stalking complaint, after the unnamed woman’s visits to his home.
The ribbons are thought to be a reference to the Arthur Conan Doyle novel A Study In Scarlet, in which the ever-sexually frustrated Watson uses red ribbons to tie old mate’s case files together.
Addressing The Curious Case Of The Moistened Cumberbitches, a source close to the actor said:
“Benedict is used to people mobbing him wherever he goes and he’s a good sport about it, [but] this individual has taken things to the next level and there was no option but to pursue official action. Turning up at professional events is one thing, but arriving uninvited at the family home is quite another.”
The woman, who has since been given a notice for harassment, has been barred from making any further contact with Benno, which is probably for the best.
