Colin Farrell Confronted By Woman On TV Show

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Irish actor Colin Farrell was confronted by a woman who leapt up from the audience as he was taping an episode of "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno" on NBC in Los Angeles, a police spokesman said on Friday.

No one was hurt during the incident, which happened on Thursday afternoon and was initially thought to be part of a skit, Sgt. Neil Gunn of the Burbank Police Dept. told Reuters.

When it became clear that her intentions were less than friendly, the woman was hustled away by the show's security staff. A policeman on the scene advised her not to come back or she would be arrested for trespassing, Gunn said.

Entertainment gossip TV show "Access Hollywood" identified the woman as Dessarae Bradford. It said she had unsuccessfully alleged in a small-claims lawsuit that Farrell stalked her with inappropriate calls and text messages.

Access Hollywood, quoting an audience member, said the woman shouted at Farrell, "I'll see you in court," and Farrell replied, "You're insane."

Farrell was promoting his appearance in the upcoming movie "Miami Vice," and showed up a few hours later at the film's world premiere. At the after-party, he was flanked by security guards, standard procedure for such events.

Colin Farrell joked that he had met his "first stalker" after a woman from the audience approached him on stage Thursday during a taping of The Tonight Show With Jay Leno.

"She said something to Colin Farrell that no one heard, then he took her by the elbow, led her off stage, asked the cameramen to turn off their cameras and asked for security," 16-year-old audience member Molly Mattaini told the Associated Press.

Mattaini said the Miami Vice star returned to the stage, apologized and said, "My first stalker," to which Jay Leno replied, "Welcome to celebrity." Farrell appeared "very calm, very collected" for the rest of the taping, said Mattaini, who was visiting Los Angeles from Minnesota.

According to Reuters, entertainment gossip TV show Access Hollywood identified the woman as Dessarae Bradford and said she had unsuccessfully alleged in a small-claims lawsuit that Farrell had stalked her. Quoting an audience member, Access Hollywood said the woman shouted at Farrell, "I'll see you in court," to which Farrell replied, "You're insane."

The woman was detained by Burbank police but, at NBC's request, not arrested. Tonight Show spokeswoman Tracy St. Pierre said the incident will not be broadcast.

Later in the evening, the actor attended the world premiere of Miami Vice with co-star Jamie Foxx, where Farrell declared himself healthy and happy.

"All good," Farrell told PEOPLE, referring to how he's doing. "Good, man. Great. Wonderful!" Farrell, joined by his mother, signed fans' autographs and posed for pictures with Foxx and director Michael Mann.

"I think he's doing terrific," Vice producer Pieter Jan Bruge told PEOPLE of Farrell. "I mean, look at him. He looks sensational."

She looks so normal and pretty.

And her name is spelled Dessarae, her momma is a moron and can't spell.

Yes, it's MY name and I am a purist and a snob, so what.
