A Brooklyn parking attendant is accused of stalking Grammy, Emmy and Oscar-winning musician H.E.R. over two years  including sending her unsolicited messages and following her to her home and car, according to police and court records. 
Jonathan Goldstonewerse, 34, was arrested Tuesday at the 84th Precinct and charged with stalking in the fourth degree and harassment in the second degree, officials said. 
He pleaded not guilty and was released on his own recognizance, authorities said. 
According to court documents, the alleged victim is Gabriella Wilson, the singer known professionally as H.E.R., who lives in Brooklyn Heights. 
Goldstonewerse worked at a parking lot where Wilson parked her car, police said. 
Wilson has won five Grammy Awards, an Academy Award and a Children’s and Family Emmy Award. 
Prosecutors said Goldstonewerse texted Wilson, claiming they had met in the parking lot and that he missed her. 
In one message, he wrote, “Hey sweatheart [sic], wish you would check on me, got a lot going on.” 
He also sent her a video of his feet, according to the complaint. 
Between 2023 and 2025, Goldstonewerse is accused of following Wilson to her apartment and her car and, at one point, trying to open her car door, authorities said. 
He also left flowers and a card on her doorstep, according to court records. 
Stalking in the fourth degree is a class B misdemeanor punishable by up to three months in jail. 
Goldstonewerse’s attorney did not respond to a request for comment. 
Efforts to reach Wilson’s representatives were unsuccessful.
