Same shit, different country. The mindset doesn’t vary all that much on the other side of the world.

Ohh, I see. Well, the lack of examples re: your proposed scenario might bolster the idea that when thwarted, men turn violently outward while women turn violently inward, against themselves. Sad.

Oh, phew! I may have read it wrong, absolutely. I read it initially as a “Yeah, but” post.

I knew about Selena, but I was thinking specifically about a gender reversal of this post, a male celeb being attacked by an unhinged female stalker.

“Had a right to look where he wanted and say what he wanted.”

A female stalker showed up at Keanu Reeves house. Just sitting there, chilling in his library. He gave her tea, and then called the police. Man I love Keanu.

Catherine Zeta-Jones had a female stalker who was jealous of her marriage to Michael Douglas, she got three years in prison.

Right, but remember, #notallmen. The bad ones are labeled for our convenience!

I just walked past the student I had last year who is clearly a sociopath, who threatened to rape and kill me (and I got effectively fired for it, it’s a long fucked up story) and didn’t feel safe till I was sure he hadn’t gotten on my bus. Haven’t seen him in just about a year; wasn’t ready for it; super not happy…

Yes. Over ten years ago I dated a television actor who at the time was B or B- list at best (very private guy, didn’t court fame at all.) He had several stalkers but one in particular followed me home after I spent the night at his place. She would also stalk him the mornings when he would play a team sport with his…

Way back in 1949, there was an obsessed female fan who shot baseball player Eddie Waitkus (The Natural was based on the incident). He survived, thankfully.

I was 15 when a 17 year old boy took interest in me. At first I was flattered but it started to get borderline obsessive after a while. I started dating someone else and he’d randomly show up at parties we were at and isolate me to tell me how beautiful I was. Once he slipped me a note in which he described in vivid…

There was a woman in my hometown who got stuck in a dude’s chimney when she tried to break into his house after stalking him online. Not a celebrity though, just an ordinary guy from OKCupid.

I’m glad that guy hopped in to help, because obviously that creeper would only listen to his own kind :/

A friend once set me up on a blind date with a childhood friend of hers. I knew he was a loser from the get go but there was no backing out at that point, so I toughed it out. While at dinner he volunteered that he…

Stalked by my crazy ex for over a year when I moved out of state for college, after some mutual acquaintance gave him my contact info. Never have I been so relieved to find out someone was deployed to another country. Now I’m incredibly selective over who in my previous state I tell my new address to.

I feel like we (women) all have some kind of experience. I told a guy on a bus once that I didn’t want to talk to him and he continued leering at me telling me that he “Had a right to look where he wanted and say what he wanted.” I tried to refrain from upsetting him because it was a scary situation, but I wanted to…

They do show up at actor’s homes. They just break in. There have been many cases of female stalkers breaking into actors’ homes and they just chill there. I think it happened to Chris Brown last year? I don’t recall if any of them has been violent though.

It’s amazing how the worst thing that can happen to a guy is to be rejected by a woman. To us, we can be stalked, raped, murdered, etc. not that it doesn’t happen to men, yes guys, it can happen to you too, but not to the same degree. The numbers are different. Very different.

I know male celebrities get stalkers, but has a female stalker ever done anything like this? This woman brought David Letterman cookies.

I tried to come up with a good snarky comment, but I just can’t.
