The FBI has arrested and charged a New York City woman with stalking French movie star Marion Cotillard, officials said.
The FBI charged Teresa Yuan, of Queens, with interstate stalking, NBC New York reported.
In its criminal case, the FBI said Yuan, believed to be in her 30s, started sending Cotillard's Web site a series of increasingly threatening messages and e-mails in April.
Yuan was arrested Thursday and released on a $50,000 bond Friday.
Cotillard, 35, and her family had "become concerned for their physical safety," the FBI said in its complaint, filed in a Brooklyn federal court.
"The guilt and sorrow I feel now, I won't feel after it happens," Yuan said in a threatening video sent to a Cotillard fan site July 23. "After it happens I'll feel no regrets whatsoever … that's apparently how it feels to be a killer, to be a murderer."
Yuan's attorney, Michael Schneider, declined to comment on the case, the New York Daily News reported.
Yuan reportedly hissed and growled in one of the videos sent to Cotillard's Web site.
As a condition of her release, Yuan was ordered not to contact Cotillard.
Cotillard won an Oscar for playing singer Edith Piaf in "La Vie en Rose," and she appears in the new Woody Allen movie "Midnight in Paris."
