Vickie Newton, who was with KMBC and WDAF in Kansas City during her TV career, now says she left her anchor position with KMOV in St. Louis earlier this year in part to get away from a cyberstalker, according to a story in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Newton made the startling announcement in her own online magazine “TheVillageCelebration” that she left KMOV after 10 years in August after being cyberstalked.

Newton, 46, wrote that she has been cyberstalked for the past five years, and that she had hoped moving back to her home state of Arkansas would end the abuse. However, she claims the harassment has intensified.

“I don’t know who is stalking me and I don’t know what the end game is,” Newton says in the article. “Recently, some of the postings have included key words that describe rooms in my home, family members’ names are included and so the level of the threat is more aggressive.”

TheVillageCelebration is an online magazine “dedicated to reporting stories that highlight the rich tradition of triumph, perseverance, and faith of African-Americans.”

Newton received her Master’s Degree in Journalism from the University of Detroit. She is single after being married to her college sweetheart for eight years and then briefly again in 2009 to health-care exec Dwayne Butler for less than a year.

    Better a cyberstalker than the “Hounds of Hell”. The latter are best avoided at all costs in light of the eternal implications.

    NOT HOW YOU STOP CYBERSTALKING
    I’m sorry but she’s a bit dim if she really thought getting up and physically moving would stop CYBER stalking. I hope she gets this situation resolved, either way.

    WHY HERMOSILLO LEFT
    Some Sources say that’s the same reason why Iris left was because of a cyber stalker that was mentally challenged and said he wanted to marry her etc.

    HARRIS FAULKNER STALKER
    Wow. Sad news to hear about Vickie Newton.

    This reminds me of Harris Faulkner’s situation which you can read about here:

    Michelle Beadle, sportswoman, also has a stalker:

    It sad that his happens to people on tv, news and Hollywood as well any celebrity or person who is a noteable figure.

      The major difference to me was that Faulkner knew her stalker and had dated him. It wasn’t some random guy.
