The 31-year-old star, based in Dumfries, Scotland, has taken to Instagram to share her harrowing experience, revealing that an alleged stalker has been targeting her for several weeks.
Stalking Incident Turns Life Upside Down
Katisha Atkinson explained that over the past five weeks, a man has been repeatedly appearing outside her home in the mornings. She described how he initially approached her from hiding, asking inappropriate questions and making her feel profoundly uncomfortable. This persistent harassment has left her feeling constantly on edge, disrupting her sleep, appetite, and overall well-being.
"This stalking and harassment has completely turned my life upside down," Atkinson stated in her social media post. "I'm on edge CONSTANTLY, when I'm leaving, coming or even in my flat, I'm not sleeping right, my appetite is down, my personality is down and my nervous system is completely shot all because I don't feel safe home in and around my own home."
Police Involvement and Public Appeal for Help
The reality star has already reported the incidents to the police, confirming that an investigation is ongoing. However, she has also reached out to her followers for assistance, sharing a censored image of the alleged stalker and urging anyone with information to come forward.

In her plea, Atkinson emphasized the profound impact this has had on her lifestyle, forcing her to alter her schedule and become reclusive. "I'm changing my schedule to avoid him and hadn't really realised how much it was affecting me until I started to feel reclusive. Nobody should feel like a prisoner in their own home," she expressed.
