Alec Baldwin 'stalker' Genevieve Sabourin jailed for 30 days for courtroom outbursts
THE French-Canadian woman accused of stalking Alec Baldwin has was found in contempt of court and sentenced to 30 days in jail.
Genevieve Sabourin, 41, repeatedly interrupted her trial in Manhattan Criminal Court despite waings from frustrated Judge Robert Mandelbaum, the New York Post reports.
"I can't hear the attoeys. I can't hear anyone speaking. I have waed you repeatedly. You have made it impossible for the court to proceed and for the proceedings to occur appropriately," Judge Mandlebaum scolded Sabourin as she continued with her outbursts.
As proceedings opened, Sabourin kept interrupting as Judge Mandlebaum was speaking to her lawyer Todd Spodek.
Judge Mandelbaum first waed her that she would be held in contempt and jailed if she didn't shut up.
But Sabourin, 41, defiantly replied: "I'm used to it. I've been in contempt for two years."
Mr Spodek then tried to continue but Sabourin kept up her running commentary, and an angry Judge Mandlebaum followed through on his threat.

The accused stalker then started sobbing uncontrollably at the defence table before launching into a bizarre rant about having "no family and no friends."
Baldwin, 55, testified Tuesday that he only had dinner with Sabourin to offer her career advice as a favour Martin Bregman, producer friend of hit flicks such as Scarface and Dog Day Afteoon.
After that meeting, he said she bombarded him with scores of increasingly creepy emails and phone calls – and then showed up at his East Hampton pad in March 2012.
"I told my wife not to come to the door. I didn't know if she had a gun or a weapon, and I called the police," he said, choking up and appearing to wipe a tear from his eye.
“Why is he crying?” Sabourin heckled from her seat at the defence table - one of a stream of outbursts throughout the day.
When Baldwin testified that he deleted many of her e-mails, Sabourin shouted: "You delete women after sex!"
Baldwin called the experience "nightmarish" and "like something out of Hitchcock."
"You're lying! Why are you lying?" the incensed Sabourin shouted. "That’s not true!”
Under cross-examination by Spodek, Baldwin denied that he had sex with Sabourin , sending the fired-up blonde into another rage.
Sabourin - who was arrested outside Baldwin's Manhatten penthouse in April 2012 - insists she and the actor had a romantic relationship that started with a 2010 dinner date at Elio's followed by a sex romp at the Lowell Hotel.
