The Voice star's stalker: "This man doesn't go away. He'll never go away."

This post deals with details of stalking. Some readers may find it upsetting or triggering. 

One of the biggest stars of this year’s The Voice is getting harassed, and not by adoring fans.

Sabrina Batshon, who was a runner-up on Team Ricky, is taking out a restraining order against an ex-friend, who already has one against her.

Last night, Sabrina appeared on A Current Affair to discuss how in July, she was hit with an AVO (Apprehended Violence Order) by a man she once counted as a close friend.

Yes, that’s right. HE took out a restraining order against HER, and now she’s doing it back.

Alex Haddad, a 41-year-old actor who claims he has had starring roles in Fat Pizza (he had one line) and Underbelly (he was a background extra), befriended Sabrina when she first went on the reality TV show. “He was using the fact that I was going to be on The Voice and sticking to me like glue.” Sabrina told A Current Affair, in a segment that interviewed both Sabrina and Alex.

Apparently, Alex started driving Sabrina to and from rehearsals, giving her career advice, and trying to use her spotlight to further his own career. When she didn’t invite him to her Blind Audition in the show, things turned nasty.

Sabrina says that Alex threatened her, threatened the boy that she took to the show, threatened her friends, and started bad-mouthing her around industry professionals.

“He started contacting contestants on The Voice, the producers of The Voice, managers, directors… anybody who could help me with my career, he started contacting.”

As revealed in the interview, Alex even approached A Current Affair reporter Alison Piotrowski in public, to try and damage Sabrina’s reputation.

Supposedly, he was so ‘in fear’ of Sabrina, that he took out a 12-month AVO against her, so that she could not go within 100 metres of Haddad.

LIKE SHE WOULD WANT TO?!

And then, he had a mysterious house fire, and subtly blamed it on Sabrina on national television. He contacted A Current Affair at the time, and their report was ‘the home belonging to an actor in the comedy show Fat Pizza has been gutted….”. Alex told the reporters “There are people out there which are pretty crazy and mentally unstable and sociopaths. There’s always haters out there if you’re in the media or spotlight, and it’s because I’m succeeding in what I’m doing.”

Sabrina was then contacted by police asking her whereabouts on the night.

This dude is seriously fame-hungry.

Finally, Sabrina was worried enough to take out her own AVO, and set the record straight, once again on A Current Affair.

“He’s very dangerous. He’s a man that uses women to get what he wants. This man doesn’t go away. He’ll never go away,” she told A Current Affair.

“If he say’s he’ll destroy your life, he’ll spend every waking moment doing it,” said 29-year-old Sabrina.

Alex had also harassed other young female artist in a similar way.

We wish Sabrina all the best in obtaining security, and hope she can get her career back on track.

As for Alex Haddad, we’ll try not to use his name again. He’s already got more fame then he deserves.
