A Chicago woman has been arrested and charged with hacking into Taraji P. Henson’s email account and stealing her identity.
Alicia Renee Newby, 26, sobbed when she appeared before a judge in Leighton Criminal Court. The mother-of-six was charged with one count of felony identity theft.
Her lawyer said Newby, who is reportedly two months pregnant, suffers from bipolar disorder.
Police say she may have also stolen the identities of other members of the Empire TV show cast. She used stolen personal information to rack up $12,000 worth of merchandise from retail stores and online. She had the purchases mailed to false addresses in Chicago.
She was charged with defrauding JP Morgan bank, American Express and PayPal, as well as multiple merchants.
The purchases were made in August, according to the Chicago Tribune.
Henson’s team called police when the 48-year-old noticed items were being mailed to two addresses on the South Side of Chicago under names she didn’t recognize.
Henson lives in Chicago where she once worked as a star on Fox TV’s now cancelled prime time soap opera.
Newby was released on a $10,000 signature bond. She was ordered to stay off the Internet.
Police did not say how Newby and Henson knew each other.

Doesn’t favor Tariji at all ?
you got to be one dumb MF to hack someone information and have the merchandise sent to your home address.
Does Taraji really look like that pic? It’s not flattering. I don’t watch TV much.
I’m sorry but all these 26 year old women going crazy. It’s no way they are in my age bracket! They look old as hell! Meanwhile I’m in publix getting told by this yt lady I should be in school lol.
She looks like she’s had too much work done. She’s pulled and looking frightful in this pic. I LOVE her, IJS it’s not flattering.
How sway ? Was her credit card information in the emails?
Curious to know what she bought.
Hopefully eyecream and hair care products.
Kaleidoscope Miracle Drops

This is very unfortunate. Sometimes, I wish there was a greater penalty for stealing someone’s identity. The things that we have to go through just to clear/protect our name is ridiculous. Why would I want to be anyone else, when I am the best at being me!?
Wait? Soooo, she is 26 years old w/6 chirren AND 2 months pregnant? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/09bcd60d16d9ca7c2c9c34b7ee693f54a8be986625ca029a092ed8403211cf68.gif
I’m thinking if she had access to Taraji’s emails she could have just reset the passwords and used the account numbers. She know somebody who knows Taraji.
It was meant to be not flattering~ Your Sister in Christ,

As Shug Avery once said “you sho is ugly hee, hee, hee”
If only people use their genius wisely..hackin aint easy! Especially a celeb!
Of only this chick would have looked in the mirror. The devil is a lie and even Ray Charles would have known she was a fraud. He could touch a womans hand and tell what size she was.
26 where bih??? Anyway, if I hacking skills it would be at a bank. I’m not going to jail/prison behind stealing from a retail store.
She should be crying for having 6 kids at 26..???
They have the same eyebrows.
The judge should’ve ordered her to not have sex anymore instead of staying off the internet. This chick doesn’t need anymore kids.
The kids should be crying for having her as their mammy!
If I’m facing jail I’m scamming millions! wtf $10K? freedom is worth way more than that lol.
Seriously
Taraji is pulling a Jesse for attention

Absolutely ridiculous.
Some people just have ALL the babies. Sheesh.
