A Brooklyn man was arrested for stalking R&B singer H.E.R., sending her unwanted messages, love letters and flowers for two years, cops said.
Jonathan Goldstonewerse, 34, of Brooklyn Heights was nabbed Wednesday morning for stalking and aggravated harassment.
The award-winning singer, 28, whose real name is Gabriella Sarmiento Wilson, called police last September to report that Goldstonewerse had been following her home, sending her unwanted messages and leaving gifts at her door from August 2023 through August 2025, cops said.

The creep waited outside her Brooklyn home until she returned on at least one occasion, police said.
Goldstonewerse has no prior arrests, police said. His arraignment in Brooklyn Criminal Court was pending Thursday.
Wilson, known by the stage name H.E.R., which ironically stands for “Having Everything Revealed,” has never confirmed her identity, but fans and media widely identified her after her 2016 debut.

“I want the people to hear the music for what it is, and not have any judgments or make any assumptions,” the artist is quoted saying on her Grammy Awards page.
The singer has won five Grammy Awards, as well as an Academy Award and a Children’s and Family Emmy Award. She was born in California.
