David Spade Reveals Being Followed Home by Professional Autograph Seekers

David Spade recounted a frightening experience on his Fly on the Wall podcast where a group of five men followed him from a comedy show to his home in Los Angeles seeking autographs to resell for profit. Spade described the road to his house as dark and narrow, creating a tense atmosphere as two cars trailed him closely, prompting him to prepare pepper spray for self-defense. When the men stopped next to him and asked for signatures on items including Funko Pop figures, Spade firmly told them to leave, nearly using pepper spray and considering brandishing a gun to assert his boundaries. He emphasized that these individuals were not genuine fans but part of a business exploiting his autographs, which made the incident even more unsettling. The episode highlights issues celebrities face with professional autograph seekers crossing personal boundaries. Spade continues to work on new projects including roles in upcoming films and self-financed productions.
