Netflix Star Fends Off Thief in 'Epic' Security Footage originally appeared on Parade.
27-year-old Netflix star Genevieve Chenneour left fans thoroughly impressed after footage of her "epic" moment of self-defense against a thief went viral online.
The actress, known for her work as Miss Clara Livingston on Bridgerton, was standing with a friend in a Joe & the Juice located in West London back on Feb. 8 when the miscreant, who was identified by The Daily Mail as 18-year-old Zacariah Boulares, crept up behind her and casually slid her cell phone off of the counter next to her.
She noticed immediately, jumping into action with her friend to retrieve her property, beating him down to the ground with the device once it was back in her possession.
"They didn't expect me to stand up for myself – but I did," the actress told the publication.
The Daily Mail obtained security footage from the shop, uploading the moment fit for an action film to TikTok yesterday, June 10, and fans "loved to see" the actress' "iconic" response.
"Well done to Genevieve for standing up for her property!" one praised.
"Miss Livingston is kicking ass love to see it," someone else said.
"I'm so proud of her," another fawned, as others agreed, "Good on her 💞," and, "👏🏽 👏🏽 Nicely done 🤣🖤."
"Bye that's so iconic," another fan said of the intense moment, while another declared, "He picked the wrong one that day. ❤️❤️❤️."
"The way he thought he was so slick has me cryingg😭😭😭," somebody else reacted.
Many also honed in on the way she weaponized the technology, with one comment reading, "PLEASE, they [sic] way she's smacking him with it 🤣🤣😭😭."
"Them phone shots to the ribs actually would hurt 🤣," someone else surmised, as others complimented, "I love that not only did she get her phone back she weaponized it 😫🤣," and "Recovered her stolen phone and used it to bludgeon the thief.
