Sylvester Stallone’s daughter Sistine has recounted a terrifying incident when she was chased by an agressive man.
The 26-year-old reality star – who features in the Paramount+ show The Family Stallone alongside her action hero legend father – was chased by a man on a bike who started screaming at her in New York City. Fearing for her safety, the American star ran into a shop for safety, but the man continued to pursue her.
Opening up about her ordeal on her Unwaxed podcast with her older sister Sophia, 28, Sistine said: “There was this guy on a bike that just started screaming really inappropriate profanities at me, but I just kept moving. I didn’t even acknowledge it. But he comes up behind me on his bike and puts his hands on me and that’s when I freaked out, and then he started screaming at me.’
She explained that she tried to run away from the man, but he gave chase. She eventually ran for three blocks before seeking refuge in a make-up shop – all the while the crazed man continued to chase her on his bike. She explained that he waited for her outside the store – leaving her terrified.

She said: “[He was] screaming at the top of his lungs, ‘You can’t hide from me b***h, I will find you. I will get you.’ And at this point he has like five employees trying to box him out of the store. In the middle of all of this I’m hiding in the back of the store for 15 minutes, I’m on the ground like in a bug formation. If he comes back, I’m screwed. I see four cops take him to the back of the store.”
Sistine explained that she wanted to share her story as a warning to other women to pay attention when walking alone. She advised: “Don’t have your headphones in and don’t be looking down.”
Sistine is the daughter of 78-year-old acting legend Sylvester and his wife Jennifer Flavin, 56, who he has been married to since 1997. Together, Sly and Jennifer are also parents to Sophia and third daughter Scarlet, 22.
Sylvester has been thrice married – first from 1974 until 1985 to photographer and former actress Sasha Czack, 74, with whom he welcomed sons Sage and Seargeoh. Tragically, Sage died of heart disease at the age of 36 in 2012. The Rambo actor then married model Brigitte Nielsen in 1985 but they divorced two years later.
While married to Jennifer, the star became engaged in an extramarital affair with iconic American model Janice Dickinson, 69, who he believed he fathered a daughter with. However, a DNA result proved that the actor was not the father. Sly, his wife, and their daughters currently star in reality show The Family Stallone which has the tagline: “There’s no place like Stallone”.
