The Aftermath and the Truth Revealed

 

It took five long years before justice caught up with Wilson. In 2010, she was finally arrested in Canada and extradited to Los Angeles. In court, she claimed the whole thing was a “mistake,” saying she had confused DiCaprio for an ex-boyfriend and acted in self-defense. Her lawyers demanded toxicology tests, medical records, and even suggested a Hollywood “cover-up.”

But DiCaprio’s attorney, Blair Berk, shut it all down, calling her claims “outrageous lies.” He revealed that Wilson had a violent past and had been evading justice ever since the attack. Ultimately, Wilson pleaded no contest to assault with a deadly weapon and was sentenced to two years in prison — though she served roughly six months after credit for time served.

The ordeal left DiCaprio shaken but resilient. While the public saw him continue to shine on screen, few knew about this terrifying chapter of his life. It’s a chilling reminder that even in the world of fame and fortune, danger can sometimes be closer than you think.
