Under an agreement approved Tuesday, a 45-year-old woman accused of harassing Apple CEO Tim Cook with pleas for sex and other crude suggestions before showing up at his Silicon Valley home in a threatening manner last October, agreed to stay way from him for the next three years.
Julie Lee Choi consented to the deal negotiated with Apple during a appearance in Santa Clara County Superior Court. Cook, Apple’s CEO for the past decade, wasn’t present at the proceeding held in San Jose, California.
The agreement requires Choi to refrain from coming within 200 yards of Cook during the next three years, and prohibits her from attempting to communicate with him through any electronic means, including on Twitter accounts or emails. If she violates the terms, Choi could face criminal charges and potentially imprisoned.
The bizarre case traces back to late 2020 when Choi began emailing Cook begging him to have sex with her and attaching images of handguns that she insisted he had made her buy, according to evidence that Apple submitted to obtain a temporary restraining order against her in January. Those documents also revealed Choi had set up a series of bogus companies trying to connect her to Cook, sometimes listing an Apple office as the headquarters.
“I can’t live like this anymore,” Choi wrote in one email to Cook sent from an iPhone. “I want sex with you, please, please.”
Cook has publicly said he is a gay man, but even after Choi acknowledges knowing that, her entreaties to him continued… Apple took legal action after Choi told him last September that she intended to apply to become his “roommate” at his condominium located in Palo Alto, California — not far from Apple’s headquarters in Cupertino, California.
In October, Choi showed up outside Cook’s home on two separate actions and warned she “could get violent,” according to court documents. Then, in December, Choi told Cook she would forgive him for $500 million in cash.

Craziest article I’ve read all week! 🤪 She might be a paid assassin, very weird.

Does this include her not posting under the name AppleBS?
Now that’s some serious Apple BS. I’m inside you, but just mentally. Thank goodness.
I regularly visit and read a pro Apple product website because I use and enjoy Apple products. You regularly visit a pro Apple product website because you hate Apple and hate their products.
Your reason for visiting is the text book definition of ‘in your head’ as well as being ‘mental’. Nothing you type here can refute that. Your motivation is hate, irrefutably, full stop, and that is sad-ugly for anyone (even you).
My intent is to stay factually critical and expose BS. Yes, I have an axe to grind, and BS left alone tends to be perceived as truth.
Keep it up, BS. Someone has to counter the lies.
Stars was once a reasonable poster but it looks like he’s decided to join the bullies instead of posting objective facts and ideas. Too bad.
