Kristoff St. John — Daughter of Late Soap Opera Star Tries To Escape Jail Following Arrest For Stripping & Meditating In Supermarket

The daughter of late soap opera star Kristoff St. John is accused of engaging in indecent exposure.

Paris St. John, 30, is said to have been detained on Monday (Apr. 10) after police in Boise, Idaho were alerted to reports of a naked woman meditating and praying in a WinCo supermarket. According to a police affidavit, a store worker persuaded Paris St. John to put her clothing back on before authorities arrived at the supermarket.

She was subsequently arrested and placed in the Ada County Jail on misdemeanor charges of indecent exposure, fleeing and resisting arrest.

Paris St. John allegedly escaped the county jail’s sally port while being booked when the door opened to let an officer in.

Police said that despite their repeated requests for Paris to stop, she refused, forcing them to chase after her, seize her, and tackle her to the ground.

Paris‘ father, Kristoff St. John, was best known for playing Neil Winters on the CBS soap opera The Young and the Restless. He died from heart disease in 2019. Her mother, Mia St. John, is a five-time world boxing champion and mental health advocate.

Julian St. John, Paris‘ 24-year-old brother, died by suicide, and her father reportedly struggled with depression and alcoholism in the years that followed. Mia, who has been transparent about the family’s difficulties with mental illness, previously shared that Kristoff had bipolar disorder and Julian battled schizophrenia.

The soap opera star threatened to shoot himself in the chest in October 2017, leading to a 72-hour psychiatric stay. He checked himself into the UCLA Medical Center early in 2019 after experiencing yet another episode of depression, getting released just a few days before his death.
