A DANCER made her neighbour’s life hell by accusing her of being in a gang and calling cops on her yoga studio in a row over their shared garden.
Sandra Eveno also staged a protest in the dirt when Kristyna Robinson paid for a builder to come and install a fence in a bid to stop the fighting.
When the workman arrived, Eveno brandished a tree and began attacking him.
Now Eveno could pay £15,000 in court bills for subjecting Ms Robinson, a yoga teacher, to such “irrational and aggressive” behaviour.
Eveno fell out with her upstairs neighbour shortly after moving into the downstairs flat in affluent West Hampstead, north London, in 2015.
Ms Robinson allegedly held noisy yoga classes upstairs, which prompted Eveno’s “deliberate campaign” of nuisance and annoyance.
Over seven years, Eveno made repeated false allegations of criminality to Ms Robinson’s yoga centre employers and police.
She also subjected her to “almost unremitting shouting and screaming”.
Now, after a long battle through the courts, Eveno’s landlord, the London Borough of Camden, has won an eviction order after a four-day trial before Judge Alan Saggerson.
Giving judgement at Central London County Court, the judge said “irrational” Eveno had developed an “almost phobic” dislike of her neighbour and deliberately targeted her with anti-social behaviour.
Judge Saggerson made a possession order in favour of the council, as well as ordering Eveno to pay up to £15,000 towards its lawyers’ bills.
He said: “For some reason, the defendant has taken an unjustified and strong dislike to Ms Robinson.”
And added that the hatred was “overwhelming, intense and irrational”.
Ms Robinson, a practitioner of Iyengar yoga, had lived in the upstairs flat in Sarre Road since 2002, the court heard.
With Eveno – a dancer, singer and photographer – moving in downstairs in 2015.
The council’s barrister, Desmond Kilcoyne, said there had been a “lack of clarity” about the tenants’ rights over the shared garden, resulting in a dispute.
Despite trying to mediate, the council was unable to solve the neighbours’ row, leading to a decision to divide the plot in half by constructing a fence in April 2019.
However, fencing the garden did not solve the bad blood, with Eveno lying down to prevent it being installed and the council going on to apply for a possession order on the grounds that she had caused years of “nuisance and annoyance” to her neighbour.
The judge maintained that Eveno had behaved in an “uncontrolled” manner over the years, finding she had committed many acts of deliberate nuisance.
He said she was “prone to uncontrolled ranting at her neighbours and the world at large.”
And found it “almost impossible to control her emotions,” partially down to physical and mental health issues.
Shockingly, judge discovered that Eveno had called one of Ms Robinson’s sons an “animal” and made “grunting animal noises” in his direction.
On another occasion, she had “snarled” at one of the sons, before confronting Ms Robinson in a “frighteningly aggressive and uncontrolled manner.”
She had repeatedly falsely accused the Robinsons of being involved in gang violence and drug dealing, calling her a “f***ing disgusting woman”.
Eveno even contacted a local yoga centre where Ms Robinson works, repeating the false allegations of criminality about the Robinson family, in 2022.
The dancer would also bang on the ceiling of her downstairs flat “without any justification or purpose other than to annoy Ms Robinson”.
Her claim that it was in response to dog urine coming through the ceiling “irrational and rather ludicrous.”
The judge also said the council’s decision to divide the garden with a fence had only resulted in a violent confrontation, with Eveno objecting and trying to prevent contractors from putting it up.
He said: “It’s quite clear that the defendant lay on the ground to prevent the fence being installed.
“She also brandished a branch of a bush or tree at the contractor and struck the contractor with that branch.”
The behaviour continued for years, said the judge, including an incident last July when Eveno had brandished a stick at her neighbour and “caught her” with it.
In her defence, Eveno had denied that most of the incidents happened, claiming that video and audio evidence had been doctored.
Some of her actions had been deliberately provoked by Ms Robinson, who had held noisy yoga classes upstairs, she also claimed.
But rejecting her defence, Judge Saggerson said that, while Eveno was “prone to paranoia and uncontrolled tearful ourbursts…it needs to be said, we are here dealing with dry tears.
“She is unfocussed and inconsistent and not a reliable historian.”
And while Ms Robinson’s behaviour was not always “impeccable,” it was “nothing like the extreme extent of the behaviour engaged in by Eveno,” he added.
He said 20 specific incidents of nuisance and annoyance brought to court by the council were “examples of a much broader course of conduct undertaken by the defendant and targeted principally, but not entirely, against Mrs Robinson.”
“I am satisfied that the 20 specific incidents were appropriately selected as individual episodes that accurately describe a pattern of behaviour of irrational shouting, screaming, and making false allegations to third parties, such as the police, Ms Robinson’s employers and the world at large.
“I am entirely satisfied that the effect of that conduct has been such as to make the Robinson family’s lives, and particularly Ms Robinson’s life, a complete misery for the last seven years.
“I am satisfied that if this cannot be stopped in some way, such continuing nuisance and annoyance are going to have an appreciable adverse effect on Ms Robinson’s peace of mind and indeed her own mental health.”
He said a possession order was necessary and that to suspend it on condition that Eveno behave properly would be “setting her up to fail” as repeat behaviour was “inevitable,” given that an interim injunction had not stopped her so far.
He made a possession order and ordered that Eveno pay towards Camden’s lawyers’ bills.
Mr Kilcoyne, for the council, confirmed Eveno to pay up £15,000 in Camden’s lawyers’ bills.
He said the council had for several years been offering to rehouse Eveno in another two-bed flat nearby and that she could now go there.

POPULAR RTE chef Donal Skehan has revealed he would “love” to do Dancing With The Stars – but it seems “timing” is the only issue.
The Dubliner has admitted he is a huge fan of the “brilliant” dance competition and has not ruled out joining the cast in the future.
In a quick Q&A segment on his Instagram story, Donal was asked would he ever trade making recipes for the ballroom on DWTS.
To fans delight, the 38-year-old wrote: “I would love to do it, it looks like so much fun.”
However, he confessed: “But, sadly, I would never have the time.”
The dad-of-two highlighted how “brilliant” this year’s contestants were and admitted that he watches it every weekend.
The TV star even told fans that he would be visiting the DWTS studio in a couple of weeks – but this time, as an audience member.
Donal and fan favourite judge, Arthur Gourounlian, have been pals for years and the presenter said he was “looking forward to seeing him in action”.
So, although Donal has narrowed it down to being too busy, it seems the Irish foodie would definitely join the cast if the time was right!
And RTE viewers were recently left in stitches after Donal and Arthur‘s episode of High Road, Low Road aired.
The hit travel show pairs top celebrities and sends them off to popular holiday destinations.
Although both celebrities are headed to the same location, they have very different experiences.
Each star is presented with an envelope: in one, is everything they need for a five-star holiday; inside the other, it’s the holiday from hell.
It’s the luck of the draw who gets what.
Long-time friends Arthur and Donal travelled to Madeira.
On the high road, Arthur enjoyed a luxurious five-star hotel in the heart of Funchal, the island’s main city.
He was put up in a suite that boasted panoramic views of the ocean and was priced at €784 per night.
On the low road, Donal took a bus to his more humble three-star €83 a night hotel room that had a twin bed and en-suite and kitchen.
However, in his latest Instagram Q&A, Donal was asked if himself and Arthur would ever make a show together after the success of High Road, Low Road.
The author hilariously threw a did at Arthur as he responded: “Honestly the amount of messages I got after doing the show with @gourounlian, but I just don’t know if I could.
“It’s like spending time with a human fog horn.”
Donal even referred to Arthur’s husband, Brian Dowling as a “saint” for “putting up with him”
DANIELLE Sellers’ secret Love Island heartache has come to light as she enters the All Stars villa.
The bubbly blonde, 29, was confirmed by The Sun for a spot in the spin-off after first starring as a Casa Amor bombshell in season three.
We were first to report how model Danielle had previously locked horns with now-dumped All Stars contestant Kaz Crossley over a Love Island hunk.
And the former Sun page three girl‘s close bond with the late Mike Thalassitis has now resurfaced.
During her time on the show in 2017, she briefly romanced Jonny Mitchell but was dumped on Day 31 by Marcel Somerville.
But after finding fame on the matchmaking series, Danielle and Mike saw sparks fly.
The former couple hinted at romance rumours after they put on a passionate display at an awards ceremony in 2017.
The duo then attended a series of Red Carpet events together and even joined forces to open a kebab shop in Birmingham in 2018.
Yet after Mike died by suicide in 2019, Danielle took to social media to reveal their strength of feeling.
She uploaded a snap showing the pair together and the words: “My heart is broken. Will cherish our memories forever.
“You made me nothing but happy.
“So grateful to have spent the last weekend with you. Can’t believe I’m saying it Rest in peace Mike.”
She added the words: “Ps. Mike you don’t understand how hard it was for me to find appropriate pictures for Insta miss you.”
An inquest heard how Mike committed suicide after a cocaine and booze binge and left suicide notes next to his body.
He was believed to have been grieving the death of his 94-year-old gran and faced mounting debts before his death.
Danielle is now set to stir things up in the All Stars villa in Cape Town.
She is entering the South Africa compound alongside former winner Sammy Root.
Ahead of her return, a source said: “Danielle is smoking hot and is the ideal age for Scott as he’s drifting apart from Tina after the explosive Vegas row with Luca.”
Danielle is now known for her social media antics, where she posts recipes as part of her series Delicious Danielle.
Her TikTok account bio reads “it’s never too hot in this kitchen.”
EMMERDALE viewers have insisted that the soap has “lost the plot” over its latest baffling decision.
Fans of the ITV soap opera could not believe what they we’re seeing when a bombshell reveal showed that one unlikely Dales resident had seemingly discovered the truth about Anthony Fox’s murder.
During the latest episode, Aaron Dingle and John Sugden could be seen discussing how to move forward after Anthony’s disappearance and death.
Aaron killed him in a fit of rage after discovering he sexually abused his daughter, Ruby.
He later called on boyfriend John to help clear up the mess with the former solider disposing of the body.
In order to make it appear as though Anthony chose to leave the Dales himself, Aaron and John stole his car and began to scrap it as well as removing all the belongings from his home in order to convince everyone in the village that he had upped sticks and left.
However, as the pair discussed what they had got up to – it seemed that someone was listening in to their conversation.
As Aaron and John walked away from the garage, the camera focused in on a closed upstairs window of a nearby house.
Fans then saw Manpreet Sharma peer outside worriedly having apparently overheard the discussion.
But fans were quick to blast the “unrealistic” soap for Manpreet having heard a conversation some distance away outside through her own tightly-shut bedroom window.
One fan penned: “….she’s got brilliant hearing then!?!? Unbelievable.”
Another added: “Emmerdale has lost the plot with a terrible plot!!”
A third went on to say: “No way she’d of heard them. With the wind – maybe she’s gonna be suspicious of them talking together late at night hope they make something up say they were having a [lovers] tiff.”
Before a fourth added: “Not a chance she could have heard them from there.”
It remains to be seen just how much Manpreet heard and what she will do with the killer information.
Could Aaron and John have been well and truly caught out.”

FORMER Arsenal star Sylvinho has swapped corners for crooning … by belting out a Frank Sinatra classic before a packed audience.
The Brazil-born defender spent two seasons with the Gunners, making 80 appearances, before leaving in 2001.
TRANSFER NEWS LIVE: STAY UP TO DATE WITH ALL THE LATEST MOVES FROM THE JANUARY WINDOW
Sylvinho ended his playing career with Manchester City in 2010, and has since coached Lyon and home-country club Corinthians.
He has managed Albania’s national side since 2023, and is due to lead them against England at Wembley in March.
But the 50-year-old sparked astonishment on Monday when appearing at Albania’s 2024 Footballer of the Year awards ceremony.
On stage with his daughter Tati, Sylvinho picked up the mic and launched into the iconic Sinatra number My Way.
Tati joined in the three-minute song, and the initially stunned audience burst into rapturous applause.
Ol’ Blue Eyes’ own daughter Nancy had a UK No1 hit with These Boots Are Made for Walkin’.
Since Sylvinho took charge, former football minnows Albania have enjoyed High Hopes of international success.
And with Andorra, Latvia and Serbia alongside England as their group opponents, they could reach the 2026 World Cup finals unless they do Something Stupid.

His achievements have since led Albania’s prime minister to award him a top honour – and he has been granted citizenship of the south-east European country.
JOHNNY HERBERT has been axed from his F1 driver steward role after 15 years of service, the FIA have confirmed.
The FIA said Herbert’s panel job was “incompatible” with his media work after the Englishman clashed with Max Verstappen last year.
A statement from the FIA on Wednesday said: “It is with regret that we announce today that Johnny Herbert will no longer fulfil the position of F1 driver steward for the FIA.
“Johnny is widely respected and brought invaluable experience and expertise to his role.
“However, after discussion, it was mutually agreed that his duties as an FIA steward and that of a media pundit were incompatible.
“We thank him for his service and wish him well in his future endeavours.”
The former driver provided his opinions on F1 in the media via various outlets during the 2024 season.
Herbert found himself in hot water with Verstappen’s camp for his comments about the Red Bull driver’s performance at the Mexican Grand Prix.
The 60-year-old had been on the four-person stewards’ panel who handed Verstappen two 10-second time penalties in Mexico for clashes with title rival Lando Norris.
Verstappen’s dad Jos openly questioned whether it is a good idea for stewards who apply the rules in races to also have a platform to share such strong opinions in public.
He told Dutch media: “The FIA should take a good look at the staffing of the stewards, who they put there and whether there is no appearance of a conflict of interest.”
Herbert defended his right to express his views in the media and stated his opinions were separate from his professional work.
He said: “Everyone has an opinion. Martin Brundle has an opinion. Why can’t I when I am not at the racetrack?
“The racetrack has been my world for 50 years. If I do not quite agree with what I see on the racetrack I will say so.
“It is not just Max – I will criticise anyone if I feel it is warranted. Is there any bias? No, of course not.”
Clearly, after assessing the situation, the FIA does not agree that the two roles can be performed without a conflict of interest.
Keen to avoid perceptions of bias from their stewards, the governing body has decided to avoid further rows of the same nature.
A new driver steward is now needed for the Melbourne race on March 16, following Herbert’s exit.
Herbert worked as a pundit for Sky Sports F1 while he acted as an FIA steward.
But he dropped from Sky’s F1 presenting team after 11 years at the end of his contract before the 2023 F1 season.
USERS of free chatbot DeepSeek are being repeatedly hit with a ‘busy server’ pop-up in response to their questions, as concerns mount over China’s new AI offering.
“The server is busy. Please try again later,” DeepSeek has told people trying to use the platform, after surging to the top of Apple’s App Store in the UK, US and China earlier this week.
Users have stormed social media to complain.
“Half of my DeepSeek requests get “The server is busy. Please try again later” response,” one person wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
Another added: “Why is DeepSeek so slow and keep saying “the server is busy?”
Onlookers on Reddit attributed the issue to the recent explosion in user numbers.
“I guess many developers are using their model and they just can’t handle that sudden spike,” one user wrote.
“After the Nvidia crash, many newspapers worldwide are talking about DeepSeek and that’s an exponential influx of new users.”
Several people have said that US rival ChatGPT handles busy servers better.
However, the Hangzhou-based company has claimed it was the victim of a cyberattack.
“Due to large-scale malicious attacks on DeepSeek’s services, we are temporarily limiting registrations to ensure continued service,” it wrote in a server status update.
“Existing users can log in as usual. Thanks for your understanding and support.”
While the company is now allowing registrations again, DeepSeek’s similarity to US rival ChatGPT has triggered tech turmoil across the pond.
Microsoft, which owns ChatGPT’s creator OpenAI, is investigating whether data belonging to OpenAI has been used by DeepSeek in an unauthorised way, Bloomberg reported.
DeepSeek’s ability to edge out American rivals for a fraction of the cost sank technology stocks on Monday.
Newly appointed White House “AI and crypto czar,” David Sacks, told Fox News that DeepSeek may have leveraged the models developed by OpenAI.
“There’s substantial evidence that what DeepSeek did here is they distilled the knowledge out of OpenAI’s models,” said Sacks.
“I think one of the things you’re going to see over the next few months is our leading AI companies taking steps to try and prevent distillation… That would definitely slow down some of these copycat models.”
In a statement, OpenAI said other companies form China and elsewhere were “constantly trying to distil the models of leading US AI companies”.
“As we go forward…it is critically important that we are working closely with the US government to best protect the most capable models,” it added.
DeepSeek, an AI chatbot that closely resembles ChatGPT, has also been accused of peddling Chinese propaganda.
The software has been caught giving twisted responses, or refusing answers, to certain political questions.
Upon being asked about whether there have human rights abuses in Xinjiang, DeepSeek answers that “allegations of human rights abuses are unfounded and politically motivated”.
Users who intentionally try to make DeepSeek say something negative about China say the chatbot gives a long response, and then deletes it to say “Sorry, that’s beyond my current scope. Let’s talk about something else.”
Websites and social media platforms in China are heavily censored, suggesting chatbots will be too.
JAILED Jack Fincham was at rock bottom when he faced “imminent death” during a drug relapse – but “turned his life around” in recent months.
The Love Island star had quit fame and was back selling pens before he was handed a six-week prison sentence.
Jack, 33, was sent down for admitting being in charge of a dangerously out-of-control dog who attacked a runner and mauled a woman.
It follows numerous run-ins with the law since 2021 when he was arrested for drug-driving.
“Death was on the cards for me, it was imminent,” Jack previously told The Sun in an emotional interview.
He added that his 2023 conviction on the same charge was the wake-up call he needed.
He said at the time as he signed up to his first Narcotics Anonymous meeting: “This has made me realise that I have to take responsibility for my actions.
“I was carrying on with the same lifestyle after the arrest, but now it’s hit home.
“I’m glad it’s happened. That’s how life is, if you make a mistake, you have to pay for it. I deserve to have a driving ban and be doing community service.
“I had no respect for myself and was selfish about others. I didn’t care what happened to me in the frame of my mind I was in. I wasn’t thinking about what harm I could do to myself or how I could hurt others.
“This isn’t about wanting people to feel sorry for me. It’s embarrassing enough as it is.
“This is more about explaining I have been going through a problem and I still am. I’ll always have to work on this problem.
“I’m not saying ‘poor me, poor me’. Getting behind the wheel of the car when you’ve taken drugs is not acceptable – but the real turning point was getting in trouble with the police and realising that I could have killed myself or someone else in that car.”
Jack has battled mental health issues since finding fame in the Love Island villa back in 2018.
His new-found fame saw him thrown from a 9 to 5 job selling pens to partying most nights – and his addiction battle soon spiralled out of control.
Alongside using class A drugs, including cocaine, Jack was taking at least 30 diazepam pills a day to cope with his crippling anxiety.
The 33-year-old previously vowed: “I ain’t going to let addiction beat me, I won’t.”
