The actress was pursued by a young man named Jason Payton, who was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. He imagined that he could become Jennifer's husband and the father of her children. The guy spied on the star, sent love letters, and once scratched a declaration of love on her car.

Fearing for her life, Aniston went to court, which prohibited Jason from approaching the actress and her family.

Britney Spears

In 2002, the singer was stalked by Japanese businessman Masahiko Shizawa. The man sent Britney his photos and love letters. Not getting any response, he flew to Los Angeles and tried to meet his idol.

At first, Spears tolerated him, thinking he was just another fan, but when he found her parents' house and began monitoring her every move, the star went to court. The authorities ruled that Masahiko should be deported to his country and forbidden from contacting Britney ever again.

Uma Thurman

In 2007, the mentally ill Jack Jordan wouldn't leave Uma Thurman alone. After the man was released from the mental hospital, he began watching the actress outside her house and even secretly sneaked into the filming set.

Once Jack was able to leave a note in Uma’s apartment, saying that if he sees her with another man, he will kill himself. In addition, he constantly sent her intimate photos. Tired of the harassment of a mad man, Thurman turned to the police and Jordan was sentenced to three years probation. However, the man later broke the law and once again tried contacting the actress, for which he was arrested.

In one of the letters Eric said that he won't hesitate to kill Taylor and there's nothing anyone can do about it. And at the end he added that she should remember who he is.

Later 22-year-old Roger Alvarado broke into Swift’s house several times. The young man did not stop even after he was sentenced to prison after the first attempt to violate the singer’s peace. Roger admitted that he didn't intend to harm Taylor, he just wanted to talk with her. He also noted that he will likely continue trying to get into her house.
