Obsessive fans
Many celebrities are victims of obsessive fans. In the United States, the phenomenon is
known as celebrity stalking. Everybody is interested in the lives of the rich and famous.
Everyone also knows the celebrities are hunted by fans looking for photos or autographs. But
real obsessive fans, or stalkers, are something different!
Stalkers think they have a connection with the celebrity. Some imagine they are the lovers or
relatives of their victims. All stalkers live and breathe the lives of their victims, and they will
do anything to get near them. Two years ago, a 30-year-old man was jailed after stalking TV
reporter Jennifer Reilly. He wrote her hundreds of letters, he waited for her after work, and
he said he was her lover. He even tried to find her home address. He told his victim: every
celebrity needs a stalker. When a stalker can't access the victim, they sometimes do terrible
things. John Hinckley Jr. tried to assassinate Ronald Reagan because of his obsession with
actress Jodie Foster. Tennis star Monica Seles was attacked by a fan of Steffi Graf. More and
more TV and radio reporters are having problems with stalkers, but don't have the level of
security as movie or sports stars.
At a recent conference, U.S. broadcasters were given the following advice:
• Take all letters seriously, even if they are nice letters.
• Do not return gifts and letters; save them for the police.
• Do not eat any food sent by a stranger.
• Do not give out personal details on the TV or radio.
• Use bullet-proof glass to protect on-air staff who are visible from outside the station.
