In her latest episode of the Unwaxed Podcast, which she shares with her sister Sophia, the 26-year-old reality star opened up about a terrifying situation she experienced with a random man on the streets of Manhattan.

“There was this guy on a bike who just started yelling really inappropriate obscenities at me, but I just kept riding. I didn't even admit it,” she said on the podcast. “But he rides up from me on his bike and puts his hands on me, that's when I got scared, and then he started shouting at me.”

The Rocky the star's daughter said that she immediately tried to extricate herself from the situation and started running away.

“I just start sprinting, like I just take off as fast as I can,” she said. “And he cuts through the crowd on his bike. Three blocks later, I'm still running for my life and run into Sephora there.

But entering the store didn't help the celebrity offspring.

“I'm hiding behind the makeup counter and I think I've lost it. And I see she's in the store screaming at the top of her lungs, “You can't hide from me, bitch!” I will find you, I will get you! “

Sistine stated that she snuck further to the back of the store, but realized that if he reached her, she would be “screwed.”

“At this point, about five employees are trying to push him out of the store,” she said. “In the middle of all this, I hide in the back of the store for 15 minutes, laying on the ground in a bug formation. If he comes back here, I'm screwed. I see four cops taking him to the back of the store.

Sistine said her experience should serve as a warning to women venturing out on their own.

“I hope this reaches all women, because the saddest thing is that every day we see videos of girls in New York: 'Oh, they got mugged on the West Side Highway, oh, they got groped on that street.' Don't put your headphones on and don't look down,” she warned.

“I live in New York, so I can say it's not safe at all, but especially for women,” one person wrote, while another added: “It's disturbing to hear about incidents like this.”

In the last episode of the Paramount+ reality show titled The Stallone familywhich also stars the girls' mother, Jennifer Flavin, and Scarlet's other sister, Stallone opened up about his worries when Sophia and Sistine moved to New York, recalling his own experiences with crime when he lived there as a young man.

“Since you moved to New York, I have been very worried. You know I'm paranoid anyway because as a father I have a responsibility to do everything I can,” he said.

During the conversation, the daughters said that their father raised them to always be alert and even taught them how to do it “fight the coyote.”

“He made us practice pepper-spraying each other,” Sistine said, adding that as a child in the fourth grade, he put “a little knife in my backpack.”

The episode also featured the girls taking part in the game self-defense classes taught by several Navy SEALs.

“I'm not playing any game. These are people who have seen combat and faced death. This is the real deal,” Stallone said.

– Sistine said in an interview for New York Post Office that Stallone was “a classic overprotective dad.”

“I don't think he'll ever be less nervous,” she said. “Three daughters at an age where, you know, we're everywhere and we're away from home.”
