The brave actress, who played Clara Livingston in the third season of the Netflix period drama, bravely attempted to stop the teen escaping.
Astonishing footage from police shows Genevieve grabbing Boulares’ shoulder as she realises her phone has been taken.
She then tackles the serial thief to the ground with the help of another customer.
Genevieve managed to take her phone back from Boulares before repeatedly hitting him with it in the posh cafe.
She previously claimed she suffered a concussion in the horror in February and said even her dog was “traumatised”.
The star added: “They didn’t expect me to stand up for myself – but I did.”
Algerian national Boulares previously pleaded guilty to stealing the phone.
The teen also admitted common assault against fellow Joe and the Juice customer Carlo Kurcishi, who had stepped in to help.
Boulares pleaded guilty to a separate charge of theft after he swiped a black leather hand bag from a diner at a pizza restaurant.
The court heard he has 12 previous convictions for a total of 28 offences – all relating to theft.
His rap sheet includes threatening to cut off Aled Jones’ arm while stealing his £17,000 Rolex.
The Songs of Praise presenter, 52, was out with his son Lucas when he was targeted near their home in Chiswick, South West London.
Boulares – then aged 16 – pulled out 20 inch machete and repeatedly threatened Aled in a bid to steal the luxury timepiece.
He told him: “Give me your f***king Rolex or I will cut your arm off.”
Aled handed over the £17,000 Rolex Daytona watch rather than fight with the armed robber.
He and his son bravely followed the 6ft teen but when he spotted them, he snarled: “Walk the other way or I will cut your head off.”
Boulares was given a two year training and detention order after pleading guilty to robbery at Ealing Youth Court.
But he was released from youth detention early after serving just 14 months of his 24-month sentence.
He will be sentenced for robbing Genevieve on June 17 at Isleworth Crown Court.
As well as Bridgerton, Genevieve appeared in historical film 1242: Gateway To The West.
She is also a former professional athlete who represented Team GB at the Baku 2015 European Games in Artistic swimming events.

IT’S always a hit for hot weather.
But it can be hard to find an inflatable swimming pool that lasts more than a few weeks – especially with kids splashing around in it constantly.

So if you’re looking for one, head to your local Walmart, where you can nab one for $59.99.
The family pool is big enough for two adults and three to five kids, and is made from material that’s 50% thicker than most in the market.
It also takes just three to four minutes to inflate with an electric pump, and has two water valves that double the drainage speed.
The “sturdy and stable” pool also has countless positive reviews on the Walmart website, with one happy customer saying it “blew our expectations out of the water”.
“We were searching for a pool for a while and our local Walmart was sold out as were all the other stores around my area,” they wrote.
“We bought this on Walmart.com after finding it and let me tell you, this pool was way better than we thought it was going to be – it absolutely blew our expectations out of the water.”
They added that their two boys “absolutely love it”, and were “jumping in and out constantly”.
The reviewer also pointed out some of the features that make it “super convenient” – including “the holes you use to blow it up” and the fact it “drains so fast”.
“Thank you for the amazing pool! Definitely looking forward to making memories for years to come!” they concluded.
And they certainly weren’t the only happy customer.
“This pool is excellent,” another added.
“I had purchased a similar pool last summer and it lasted only 3 days. It was placed on a sand and grass area.
“Evidently, the grass poked several holes into the bottom which could not be found.
“This pool was placed on almost the same area and was wonderful. No water leakage and no holes.
“I highly recommend this pool and look forward to using it again next summer.”
“Setting up this inflatable swimming pool in the backyard has been one of the best decisions for our family this summer,” a third commented.

“The pool is spacious enough for me to enjoy with my kids, and it’s deep enough for them to splash around safely while still being shallow enough for peace of mind.
“The quality of the material feels sturdy, which is crucial with active little ones and even our dog jumping in and out.
“It was easy to inflate, and the drainage plugs make cleaning a breeze.
“Despite a minor issue with one of the sections not staying inflated, the included patch kit should take care of that.
“Overall, this pool has become the perfect outdoor play center for us, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great value.”
“Cool summer fun in an adventure sized family pool!” someone else wrote.
“Can’t wait to blow this up for the grandbabies this year.
President Donald Trump said America struck a trade deal with ChinaReutersTrump said his relationship with President of China Xi Jinping is ‘excellent’Getty
In a Truth Social post on Wednesday, Trump said, “Our deal with China is done, subject to final approval with President Xi and me.”
The announcement came after two days of negotiations in London, England, between US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng.
Trump said, “Full magnet, and any necessary rare earths, will be supplied, up front, by China.
“Likewise, we will provide to China what was agreed to, including Chinese students using our colleges and universities (which has always been good with me!),” he said in the statement.
“We are getting a total of 55% tariffs, China is getting 10%. Relationship is excellent!”
The president said he and Melania were invited to the rival nation, and they extended a reciprocal invitation to Jinping and his wife.
“We both accepted, so I will be going there with the first lady at a certain point,” Trump told reporters.
Trump forced the world into an overnight scramble when he announced sweeping 10% tariffs on nearly every country in the world on April 2.
He doubled down on the pressure when he revealed his plans to impose massive reciprocal tariffs, which he said would match the taxes that American manufacturers have been paying.
China, the world’s largest manufacturer, was one of the hardest hit as the country relies on American consumers to buy electronics, toys, and many other Chinese goods.
Xi Jinping was quick to announce revenge tariffs following Trump’s so-called Liberation Day, leading America to impose a bruising 145% fee.
But since last month, US tariffs on China have been lowered to 30%, and China has reduced tariffs on US imports from 125% to 10%.
Trump hasn’t visited China since 2017, when he met with Xi Jinping during his first presidency.
He’s boasted about having a strong relationship with the world superpower in his first term, and has voiced his confidence in restoring relations during his final four years.
President Joe Biden never once visited the rival nation during his four years in office.
TENSIONS COOL
One month ago, China and the US agreed to a 90-day tariff pause for negotiations, but officials spent the first weeks of the break driving a wedge over heated issues.
Leaders hotly debated visas for Chinese students at American universities, rare earth minerals carmakers use, and semiconductors that power artificial intelligence.
Trump has insisted that his motivation for starting the war is to put money back into America’s pocket and boost US manufacturing.
He said he wants to “open up China” to import more US goods.
“If we don’t open up China, maybe we won’t do anything,” he previously warned while speaking at the White House.
“But we want to open up China.”
Why has Trump hit China, Canada, and Mexico with tariffs?
DONALD Trump has imposed 10% tariffs on Chinese imports and Beijing has retaliated. Trump also hit Canada and Mexico with 25% tariffs, but walked back many of them on March 6
China:
Trump believes China has not done enough to stop the production of chemicals used to make the drug fentanyl.
China has slammed Trump for the claim and described fentanyl as America’s problem.
The country also said the tariffs are a “serious violation” of the World Trade Organization rules.
China is filing a lawsuit with the WTO against the US for “wrongful practice.”
China serves as a major supplier of auto parts to the US.
Phones, computers, and other key electronic devices were also in the top imports from China last year, according to Commerce Department data.
In 2023, the US imported around $427 billion worth of products from China, according to the US Census Bureau.
Data reveals that 78% of all smartphones imported from the US came from China.
Trump’s tariff threat has sparked fears of price rises for fashion items and toys.
Beijing has responded by outlining its own tariffs on American goods, sparking fears of an all-out trade war between the two superpowers.
Canada:
Trump ignited a trade war with Canada and Mexico during his first days in office as part of a campaign promise to stop the flow of fentanyl and illegal immigrants into the United States.
He said both countries had not done enough to halt the drug flow and the mass influx of migrants from reaching US soil.
A total of 59 pounds of fentanyl was seized at the northern border by US agents between 2022 and 2024, according to the Canadian government.
Meanwhile, almost 62,000 pounds of the drug was seized at the southern border.
The Ontario premier warned that he “will not hesitate to increase” the levies or completely shut off power to the three US northeastern states.
Both sides then agreed to talk and toned down their threat.
Ford then paused the electricity surcharge.
Mexico:
Mexico has managed to twice postpone Trump’s tariffs on Mexican goods.
On February 1, Trump signed an executive order to impose tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China.
But, on February 3, Trump agreed to pause the levies against Canada and Mexico after the countries took steps to appease Trump’s concerns on border security and drug trafficking.
Trump then threatened that the 25% tariffs would come into force on March 4.
Two days later, Trump announced a delay on most goods covered under the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement.
Trump credited Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum’s progress on border security and drug smuggling as a reason for the pause on the levies.
The Mexican Navy has seized thousands of kilograms of drugs from criminal gangs.
Sheinbaum promised to deploy 10,000 extra troops to the Mexico-US border.
Still, Trump has maintained that on April 2, the US will begin imposing reciprocal tariffs on all its trading partners, including Mexico.
