(Original Air Date: 01/29/07) Everyone wants to be loved, but what happens when being the object of someone's affection turns creepy or even fatal? Celebrities are not the only targets – stalkers can be found in any neighborhood and town. Michelle says her ex-boyfriend, Melvin, is obsessed with her, and she fears for her life. Melvin admits he constantly thinks about Michelle and can't live without her in his life, but he says he gets mixed messages from her. Find out the extremes Melvin has gone to in his relationship with Michelle, and why his actions prevented him from coming to Los Angeles for the taping of the show. And, why does Dr. Phil tell Michelle she's playing with fire? Then, Katrina has been infatuated with rap star, Jay-Z, for the last three years. She sends him 200 e-mails a day, has called him over 300 times and has even tried to befriend his best friend and sister. She is convinced that if Jay-Z met her, he would want to be with her, but is she willing to risk jail time just to get close to him? And, meet a Hollywood actress who was stalked on the big screen … and then in real life. Why does she fear her stalker may strike again? Share your thoughts, join the discussion.

Find out what happened on the show.

01/29 Fatal Attraction?

Quote From: groovy

As long as you're advocating people give up their cell phones, why don't you give up your computer and internet hookup, hmmm?  And where exactly did I advocate that people use cell phones while driving?

 

Giving up her cell phone will not magically make the woman's stalker disappear.  And if he shows up while she's out in public or slashes her tires and leaves her stranded, now she has to go find a payphone to get help. 

I can't be sure if it's intentional or not, but you are funny.  I'm sure you were capable of distinguishing between the advocacy of eliminating cell phones and the suggestion that someone who only has identified herself as stalked via cell phone might think about giving hers up.  FAR OUT!!

Katrina won't stop

      She won't stop,just seeing the expression on her face tells me that.I can't decide whether she needs help mentally,or she just doesn't care because her life's going no where and she's having fun.Also,I can understand that to a degree too,I think there is a certain allure to doing this kind of thing in that when there's no reply,you ratchet things up a notch to see what happens next.Yes,it's an extremely unhealthy way to spend your time,like Dr Phil said,there's a lot she missing out on,but she doesn't see that yet,nor does it seem that she cares.

01/29 Fatal Attraction?

Quote From: samuelson2005

No, I don't think it is stalking but it is weird.  Why on earth would you send a birthday present to someone you have never met.  Do you really think that they keep everything their fans send them?  Get a clue!  They can buy anything they want.  Celebrities get so much crap from fans they probably have to have it hauled off in a truck.  They either throw it away or give it away.  Instead of sending your fave celebrity a gift every year support Toys for Tots and buy a gift for a child that is less fortunate.

I have met this celebrity numerous times and they have been very kind to me.  I haven't seen them in a while because life changed, but I do continue to send a birthday gift, because I enjoy their work and because they were kind.  Celebrities are not as disconnected as you seem to think.  They are humans too and they enjoy "limited" amounts of contact with their fans.  I don't think I'm being obsessive or weird or stupid. I do support Toys for Tots and many other charities, as well a create many programs in my own neighborhood, and I give lots of gifts to lots of people for all types of occassions.  But with this celebrity, no I don't hang out with them or seem them like I do with personal friends, but they know who I am.

Oh my goodness, Katrina needs some serious help!!! She is over obsessed, jealous and doesn't have a clue that what she is doing is actually hurting her emotionally. On the show it didn't even look like she cared about changing and what anyone was telling her. Jay-Z does need to prosecute her so that she learns her lesson.

 

For Michelle- You really need to stop having sex with Melvin and stop telling him you love him if you TRULY want him out of your life. That is the only way he is going to know that you are serious. Obviously he isn't getting the point because he doesn't know what you are really wanting. My heart brakes for you. To see all those bruises, marks and emotional pain you have. I wish you the best of luck. Take care.

Katrina

Quote From: glasscollector

I don't believe for one minute that this girl came on the show for help. I believe she came on so that J Zee could see her. She got dressed up for him. She shows no indication of sincerity about wanting to change. I feel she could be a threat to Beyonce if she had a chance.

Why has someone not taken action?

How on earth  does she get his phone  number and email?

She got all dressed up for him to see her because she believes that he will want her. She is a NUT and a KOOK and needs to be in jail.

I think your right that Katrina came on the show so J Zee could see her. I think Katrina is in love with J Zee. I think she needs to sit down and talk with J Zee. Maybe she will see that he is not exactly what she thought he was. You know what I mean. Maybe J Zee will like her. We cannot speak for J Zee.

I know what you mean, my mother in law was a pen pal with  one of the "Drs." from Dr. Who (don't know how that started but I've seen the letters and some Star Trek prsonalities were on a first name basis w/ my mom at conventions and they would talk for  (what seemed like hours-I was 11 LOL!)

I think it comes down to respect . as far as presents..many celebs. do appreciate them ..you know your situation so you have to make that call : )

Revenge of the Ex

 Iam having a problem with a crazy ex lover. She seems to have made hermind up that if she can't have me no one can. She is making lifemiserable for my current partner. My gf has been recieving harrassingphonecalls at both her jobs and just recently at home from anonymouscallers. The callers have admitted they are being paid to make thesecalls and go on to tell her lies that I am cheating on her as well asother threats. They have also admitted to driving around the house andno when I am there and when I go out. My gf has filed a police reportfor the calls made to the house, but unfortunately the police will notdo anything until more calls are made. I also think that the calls aremade at payphones so even if the police do trace them what good is it.I have confronted this ex lover and she completely denies beinginvolved and even turns the tables pretending that she is mad at me foreven thinking that it could be her. She even has told me not to sendher anymore txt msgs about it or call her. Recently my gf caught heroutside of our home putting nails in the tire of my car.  When myex saw, she took off running.  The police have been absolutely nohelp. She has also called my job to make sure I am working so that shecan plan an attack on my gf and do it while she is alone.  Allthis info is coming from this anonymous caller.   I am worried that if I try to even talk to her she will come up with some bogus storythat I am harrassing her and call the police. This is soooooofrustrating...... AnySuggestions?

01/29 Fatal Attraction?

Quote From: kcest77

I understand what Michelle is going through and what you went through. I am in a 4 year relationship that is going no where. He is controlling, cheats on me, manipulated me, uses me financially and has physically dominated me. When I tell him to leave he says, "Stop being rediculous!" He just won't go, and after a while I have just resolved that I can't get rid of him. He cheated for the last time about 8 months ago, and I thought I had finally had enough, but I am still with him. He pleads with me and will be a total prince when he knows I have had enough and I just take him back. It is exhausting. He says he has changed, but now I am really out of control emotionally because I don't trust him, I am ugly to him because I am so bitter and hurt. I am "psycho" because I am so mistrusting, paranoid, and hurt. But I am still with him. I stopped telling him that I loved him 8 months ago, but he is still here. I will one moment hate his guts and want him out, but a few hours later, I am lying in bed with him lying on his chest, feeling loved. It is hard for me to let go and take the step to get rid of him. I know he loves me, he just made some stupid, selfish choices. It is just sooooo hard to get over his cheating!!!! I want to cheat on him, but I can't be that disrespectful to him. I am afraid my heart will break and I won't be able to deal without him. The sex is great, too.

PLEASE READ YOUR OWN MESSAGE OVER AND OVER AGAIN

     READ IT LIKE SOMEONE ELSE WROTE IT. YOU WILL SEE HOW DEEPLY CONFUSED YOU ARE. BEING WITH CRAZY PEOPLE WILL MAKE YOU CRAZY EVERYTIME, GUARANTEED!!!!!! YOU SAID YOURSELF HE IS CONTROLLING, CHEATS ON ME, MANIPULATES ME, USES ME FINANCIALLY, AND HAS PHYSICALLY DOMINATED YOU, YOU SAID THESE THINGS YOURSELF. PRAY THAT HE CHEATS AND MOVES ON, BUT EVEN BEFORE THAT YOU MOVE ON,  GET COUNSELING, BECAUSE YOU ARE NOW ADDICTED TO THE DRAMA AND THE LIFESTYLE THAT WILL GUARANTEE A LIFETIME OF MISERY, UNPREDICTABILITY, AND POSSIBLY TAKE YOUR LIFE. YOU DESERVE SO MUCH MORE, PLEASE GET HELP TODAY, DON'T WAIT ANOTHER MINUTE. YOU ARE JUST CONFUSED, ALIGNING YOURSELF WITH THIS TYPE OF PERSON WILL MAKE YOU CRAZED, PLEASE LEAVE HIM AND TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF. DO NOT GET INTO ANOTHER RELATIONSHIP UNTIL YOU TAKE THE TIME TO DISCOVER WHY YOU CHOSE THIS MAN TO BEGIN WITH. BEST OF LUCK
