Genevieve Sabourin, the Canadian woman charged with stalking actor Alec Baldwin in New York, was held in contempt of court Wednesday, officials said. A Manhattan judge Wednesday ordered Sabourin to serve 30 days in jail for repeatedly interrupting testimony in her stalking trial and heckling Baldwin and his wife, Hilaria, CNN said. Baldwin, 55, cried on the witness stand Tuesday as he described how Sabourin came to his house in the Hamptons the day he proposed to Hilaria. "I ran to tell my wife not to go near the door because I wasn't sure if she had a gun or a weapon or where we were at this point, and then I called the East Hampton police," the New York Daily News quoted him as saying in court. Sabourin, 41, called out at times during Baldwin's testimony, crying, "No, no," when Baldwin said he had dinner with her to give her "career advice" and never had an affair with her as she claimed. Baldwin said Sabourin was the longtime mistress of producer Marty Bregman and the dinner was a favor to his friend. However, Bregman told the News that wasn't true. "I'm 87 years old and that's very flattering, but that's all it is," Bregman said. Sabourin, who faces one count of stalking and more than 20 counts of harassment, has insisted Baldwin's stalking accusation was aimed at hiding his romance with her from Hilaria.
