Stalker incident

In November 2018, a 41-year-old man, Joshua Andrew Stephen Fox, was arrested by the Metro Nashville Police after having stalked Stella for over a year. According to police, the contact started when he reached out to the Stella family through their website, stating that he had relocated to Nashville from Miami to "be with the family".

On November 8, 2018, the FBI met with Fox at a Panera Bread café near Vanderbilt University, after Fox had allegedly sent Stella a "sexual invitation", ordering him to stop all contact with the Stella family. After temporarily deactivating all his social media accounts, Fox reactivated them and, according to police, sent Stella 85 messages and videos, including ones of sexual nature.

Within the next few days, Fox sent Stella a picture of a woman he had kidnapped and raped at gunpoint. The woman reported the incident the following day and Fox was arrested in Asheville, North Carolina. He was then transferred to Smith County, Tennessee to face charges of rape and kidnapping. He was soon released from custody on an $80,000 bond.[7][8][9][10]
