Superstar Ariana Grande’s home was reportedly broken into by an alleged stalker who has repeatedly violated a restraining order the pop star took out against him.
The alleged break-in reportedly happened on the 29-year-old singer’s birthday, when Aharon Brown was arrested after he was caught breaking into Grande’s home in Montecito, California, TMZ reported. The “Thank U Next” hitmaker was reportedly not home at the time Brown somehow gained access into the singer’s residence. The security system notified police that he was there, and when authorities showed up, Brown was arrested.
It is the second time Brown has been arrested at Grande’s home. He was taken into custody in September 2021 after he showed up at her home in Los Angeles, brandished a large hunting knife, and threatened her life and the lives of her security.

At the time, Brown allegedly screamed at her security, “I’ll f***ing kill you and her!”
The outlet noted that the man was then arrested and charged with making criminal threats against the “7 Rings” hitmaker. A judge later granted Grande’s request and issued a restraining order prohibiting Brown from coming near the singer.
In court documents obtained by Page Six, the singer wrote to the Los Angeles Superior Court, “I am fearful, for my safety and the safety of my family.”
“I fear that absent a restraining order, Mr. Brown will continue to come to my home and attempt to physically harm or murder me or members of my family,” the singer explained, the outlet noted.
Brown was reportedly supposed to turn himself into police Tuesday in response to the September arrest, but instead violated the restraining order and showed up to Grande’s home Sunday.
The stalker has since been arraigned on a variety of charges, including burglary, damaging power lines, stalking, and more. He pleaded not guilty to the charges. Brown remained in custody as of Tuesday.
