A Brooklyn man was arrested for stalking R&B singer H.E.R., sending her a video of his feet, 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.
“This is Jonathan. We met a few days ago, at the parking lot. I’m not forcing you to talk to me. I’m just telling you that I miss you,” he said in one text, according to a criminal complaint.
He sent her a video of his feet in another message, and said in a third, “Hey sweetheart, wish you would check on me, got a lot going on,” the complaint alleges.
He once followed her to her car and tried to open the door, the complaint alleges.

The creep waited outside her Brooklyn home until she returned on at least one occasion, police said.
Goldstonewerse has no prior arrests, police said. He was arraigned in Brooklyn Criminal Court and released without bail Thursday.
According to a law enforcement source, Goldstonewerse worked at a parking garage near where Wilson lives.
Wilson, known by the stage name H.E.R., which ironically stands for “Having Everything Revealed,” has never publicly identified herself and initially hid her face with sunglasses and dim lighting. 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 Vallejo, California.
