I do, too. Very sad, and I don’t think she knew she was being stalked. I don’t think she ever had a chance.

I agree. I could never approach a celeb outside of an event where they expect to be bothered. It’s just rude – they really are just people.

Thanks for stopping by.

I really think – for a lot of people – it’s about escapism and living vicariously through others. I think people fixate on a celebrities outer persona and then create who they want them to be on the inside. Thanks:)

I can’t imagine the fear that comes with knowing you’re being stalked like that. Are there celebrity authors who’ve been stalked? I don’t know.

I’m a big proponent of leaving celebrities alone unless they’re at an event where they are appearing in their professional role. Otherwise, these are just people who need time to unwind and be with their families and have a little privacy.

But there’s a huge difference between being an annoying fan and being a murderous stalker. Creepy, Stacy!

Cyberstalking is terrifying to. It’s so easy for people to get our information these days, and some of it needs to be out there. It’s hard to protect ourselves.

Wow on your ex-wife. That had to be hard for you to deal with. I don’t think you can reason with that type of person. It’s a form of mental illness and she needs professional help.

Thanks for sharing!

You’re right. We can never be too careful, and you never know when someone will decide to fixate on us.

Thanks!

Yes, it was, as was Schaeffer’s. I do think the laws need to be worked on, and the real issue is in the fine print. If a stalker hasn’t technically done anything illegal, the police can’t do a damned thing. And most don’t have the manpower to keep an eye out.

Thanks!

Isn’t it? After all these years, I don’t think he feels true regret. For him, it’s just unfortunate Lennon was so famous.

Thanks.

The stalker laws very state by state. And you’re right, it is a fine line. Trouble is, there have been plenty of cases where a guy was creeping around but didn’t technically do anything “wrong.” And when he did, it was too late.

Oh I agree on celebrities. It’s amazing how people can get so invested in their lives. I think the Internet and ability to interact with other fans has made it even worse.

Thanks!
