Sarah Palin’s daughter Bristol defends herself against stalkers

Sara Palin‘s eldest daughter, Bristol Palinhas been pursued by stalkers for years, and after little help from the criminal justice system, she has taken matters into her own hands.

We spoke to Bristol for a new documentary airing Mondays at 9pm ET/8 Central on FOX – delving into the horrors of famous people who have had to deal with obsessed fans… to the point where their lives in has been put at risk, including BP here – whose history of this is well documented.

The incidents in Bristol date back to the mid-2010s… and they were all harrowing.

In the years since, Bristol has not shyed away from exercising her Second Amendment right to bear arms – something she touches on here during our conversation with her.

Take a look… she describes the fear she lives with in the aftermath of everything she’s been through – and explains why she feels like protecting herself, her home and her family is absolutely essential in her daily life.

Part of the reason she feels she has to go to these extremes is because the law itself is simply too lenient when it comes to stalking – and doesn’t do enough to deter them.

We delve much deeper into the subject in the doc itself – titled ‘TMZ Investigates: Obsessed and Dangerous: Hollywood’s Stalker Crisis’ – and cover more stars who have had to deal with this.
