The actress appeared in season three of Bridgerton
The actress, who played Clara Livingston in the third season of the Netflix period drama, bravely attempted to stop the teen escaping.
Boulares, 18, then lashed out at another customer who rushed to help by punching and kicking him.
Genevieve claimed she suffered a concussion in the horror in February and said even her dog was "traumatised".
Algerian national Boulares appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court today where he pleaded guilty to stealing the phone.
The teen also admitted common assault against fellow Joe and the Juice customer Carlo Kurcishi.
Boulares pleaded guilty to a separate charge of theft after he swiped a black leather hand bag from a diner at a pizza restaurant.
The court heard he has 12 previous convictions for a total of 28 offences - all relating to theft.
Boulares was remanded into custody ahead of sentencing on June 17 at Isleworth Crown Court.
As well as Bridgerton, Genevieve appeared in historical film 1242: Gateway To The West.
She is also a former professional athlete who represented Team GB at the Baku 2015 European Games in Artistic swimming events.

Despite the excitement, Evans encountered a hiccup while breaking the news, which he disclosed in a candid Instagram update. He said: "Apparently, I messed it up again. "Um, so the message stopped halfway through, so the headline is I'm starting my own radio station. Well, I'm taking my own show. "It's going to be on an app. It's going to be on Alexa and Google. As I said, it feels so good to say that - to not have to say smartspeaker and supermarket - other places are available.", reports the Mirror.

For the latest TV and showbiz gossip sign up to our newsletter . Evans has turned his attention to a new show (Image: BBC ) Evans, 53, was caught on camera making a sexualised comment at the Birmingham Arena as the group gathered for a photo on stage. "My language was inappropriate and unacceptable, for which I sincerely apologise," he said in a statement. The presenter confessed that his BBC Radio Wales show, which started in 2016, was more than "just work" to him, it felt like "home". This follows the fact that Evans's behaviour during Strictly Come Dancing 2024's series raised eyebrows among viewers at home, with some labelling them as "awkward". One instance involved his professional dance partner on the show, Katya Jones, seemingly rejecting a high-five from Evans and moving his hand away from her waist during a live show in October. Later, the duo said the moment was merely a "running joke" between them, and Jones dismissed as "complete nonsense" any suggestion that the situation "made me feel uncomfortable or offended me in any way." Recently, Evans spoke to The Sun about some of the controversies that emerged from the Strictly series. Discussing a sexualised remark he made, he argued it was "taken out of context", and was actually a nickname for fellow contestant, Jamie Borthwick. During the interview, he was also questioned about a particular incident where he sent a sex toy to Borthwick, admitting "that was a joke that went too far". He added: "Unfortunately on that occasion I blurred the lines between professional and social." After sharing his latest venture on social media, support has flooded in for the presenter. Evans' followers appear thrilled about his new undertaking. One individual commented: "Amazing luck with your new venture Wynne." A second wrote: "Omg! ! This is amazing. I'm so happy! Well done Wynne!". Another said: "Good on you fella! Been listening to you on the radio in the mornings and it's the only show I love!" And another added their encouragement with: "Brilliant news, I will be joining you as soon as you start. Good luck you have so much support." Article continues below

Elton John says ‘we will not back down' in awards speech addressing AI concerns
The Government has repeatedly rejected changes to the Data (Use and Access) Bill, proposed by the House of Lords, aimed at strengthening protections for the creative sector. Peers have attempted to amend the Bill by adding a commitment to introduce transparency requirements, aiming to ensure copyright holders are able to see when their work has been used and by who. Veteran rock singer Sir Elton, 78, who picked up the Creators' Champion Award at Billboard's Global Power Players Event on Wednesday, is among hundreds of creatives who have raised concerns over AI companies using copyrighted work without permission. In an Instagram post he thanked the US magazine for the award and said: 'Supporting the next generation of British artists is one of the major driving forces in my life. 'As everyone in that room was aware, the Data Bill is currently looming over our industries and the future livelihood of all artists. It is an existential issue. 'Earlier this evening, the Government was defeated for an unprecedented fifth time by the House of Lords who have backed the crucial amendment to the Bill. 'I am now calling on the Government to do the right thing and get transparency added to the Bill. 'Administration of copyright must be transparent. And it must have an artist's full permission. These two principles are the bedrock of our industry. They must be included in the data Bill as a backstop. Sir Elton John after being made a member of the Order of the Companions of Honour for services to music and to charity (Dominic Lipinski/PA) 'Let's be clear – we want to work with the Government. We are not anti AI. We are not anti big tech. We are not against Labour. We want a solution that brings all parties together in a way that's transparent, fair and allows artists to maintain control of their work. 'We will not let the Government forget their promise to support our creative industries. We will not back down and we will not quietly go away. This is just the beginning. 'Thank you, Billboard. And thank you Baroness Kidron and The House of Lords for standing up for our world-beating artists, journalists, playwrights, designers and authors.' The prolonged impasse and the conduct of proceedings at Westminster now threatens the future of the whole Bill and its measures, including a crackdown on deepfake porn abuse.

Meghan Markle has a strange definition of privacy
There are some sights that nobody should ever be forced to see, lest they be forced into a lifetime of therapy-intensive PTSD. To this list should be added a video of Meghan, Duchess of Sussex twerking. For some unfathomable reason, Meghan and Harry decided to mark their daughter Lilibet's fourth birthday by posting a video on Instagram that featured the heavily pregnant expectant mother gyrating wildly in a hospital room to a song called 'Baby Mama', in apparent recreation of a (checks notes) TikTok trend. I assumed at first that it was an AI-created spoof, and that litigation from this never knowingly under-lawyered couple would be coming soon. But no. It appeared on Meghan's Instagram, with the caption that: Both of our children were a week past their due dates…so when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn't work – there was only one thing left to do! Clearly. Yet even leaving aside the cringeworthiness of the video (in which, perhaps as a reflection of their marriage in miniature, Harry has a walk-on part but Meghan remains the main attraction), it is yet another example of Sussex hypocrisy at its most naked.
