HIYA! Louise Meanwell says at their first meeting, in 2006, Yankees exec Brian Cashman whispered, “You’re the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen” and told her, “I wish my wife wasn’t here.” (

Start sleeping with one eye open, Brian.
Former targets of alleged serial stalker Louise Meanwell, men who all lived in the Albany area, said she won’t move on from her obsession with Yankees general manager Brian Cashman anytime soon.
“She’s not done with Cashman. She’s never done,” Meanwell’s former live-in boyfriend, David Sano, told The Post.
“You learn that about Louise. She’s ruthless.’’
The ominous prediction came as Sano recounted a wild, two-year ride with Meanwell that began as a 2001 one-night stand and spiraled into a nightmare that included claims of a pregnancy and abortion, a leaked sex tape, shredded clothing, slashed tires — and a prison stint for Sano after he pulled a knife on her in exasperation.
“She is the most conniving person I have ever met,” Sano said.
Two others — a successful Albany businessman who says Meanwell stalked him “for months” in 1999 and Jason Walker, once an aide to former Gov. George Pataki — echoed Sano.
“She is relentless,’’ said the businessman, whose name is being withheld.
“She was really intimidating and ingrained herself into my life.”
Meanwell, he said, cozied up to his pals at an Albany country club, staked out his home, bombarded him with e-mails and filled his answering-machine tape with messages before he hired a lawyer to stop her.
He described Meanwell as “a multiple personality, where one minute she was a nice, relatively normal person who [could] turn vindictive and evil at any point in time.”
“She was very, very persistent,” said Walker, who was working for Pataki when he dated Meanwell for two months in 2002. He said he bailed out because he couldn’t deal with her constant calls and demands for attention.
“I knew to stay away from her after what happened to David Sano,” he said. “Everybody in town knew there was something wrong with her.”
Sano’s relationship with Meanwell began as a one-night fling, while he was dating another woman. Soon after, Meanwell claimed to be pregnant, he said, and he gave her $1,000 for an abortion.
Sano, who had scored $1 million-plus in an insurance settlement, stayed with his girlfriend — until a chance meeting in a department store in October 2001. He dumped the girlfriend, moved out of his new McMansion and in with Meanwell, buying her a Mercedes, he said.
“I gave her control of my checkbook. She paid all of her bills with my money,” said Sano.
By the spring of 2002, the relationship hit the skids — and Meanwell “personally delivered” a sex tape featuring Sano and his former girlfriend, a schoolteacher, to the headmaster of the Christian school where the woman worked.
“That’s what Louise does,” Sano said. “She takes pleasure in other people’s pain.”
At one point, Sano said, Meanwell shredded his clothing and other belongings, shattered the glass lids of expensive pots and pans and sent all of it in boxes to his mother and “hired someone” to slash the tires and smash the windows of his car.
