Celebrity Justice
I'm With Crazy!

Being famous has its ups and downs. On the plus side, you get that nice table in the corner. On the negative side, you get wackos throwing letters over your fence or rushing the stage at Jay Leno. Is it worth it? You be the judge! We've put together clips of five notorious obsessed fans- we'll let you decide which one's deck is missing the most cards.

Emily Leatherman claims she isn't in love with John Cusack. She says she only wanted him to help bring attention to the fact that she was drugged up and sex-trafficked through the homes of powerful and famous men up and down the west coast. See, that's why she threw bags over his fence filled with rocks, screwdrivers and long letters.



You may have assumed that Dessarae Bradford was obsessed with Colin Farrell just because she rushed the stage during his Jay Leno taping this week. But according to the case she repeatedly tried to bring to court in 2005, he was stalking her. Friday he filed a restraining order against Bradford.


Come on ladies, who hasn't wished for a man to write a beautiful song dedicated to you? Well Daniel Lachance has written nine songs for his pop princess, Britney Spears! Beautiful may be a stretch, though. Lachance was arrested in 2004 for trespassing, allegedly trying to contact Britney Spears.


Most celebs hope they never have to face their stalker. Not only did Anna Kournikova have to face William Lepeska in a Miami courtroom, but he was allowed to question her! At least his questions were pretty easy, such as "why do you presume that the author of these letters was undesirable?" Heck, even we can answer that one.


In 2003 a Van Nuys jury decided that Anna Nicole Smith was not stalked by ex-boyfriend Mark Hatten, but he was convicted of making terrorist threats against the star. Hatten was also found guilty of battery and assault with a deadly weapon after getting into a fracas with one of Smith's neighbors.

16. jme4538, sounds like maybe you slept with Bradford too? Maybe you both can get a discount for psychological evalution and classes on anger management.

Hey! An even better option would be to turn off your computer, and ponder for a while on how you can actually get a life other than living through some one else's drama. ya putz.

17. Excuse me Kismet?

TMZ moderators- I'm really offended by Kismet's comments! (comment#9) That is offensive, mean, hurtful and rude to address me in that manner and - I believe- in violation- or rule boards- can you please remove Kismet's comments from the board as none of us need to read that garbage! Thanks!

18. What I really love is how no matter how much evidence points to the contrary, the only thing people want to do is accuse Bradford and Leatherman of being stalkers. Just goes to show how a little bit of information in the hands of people with an agenda is a dangerous thing. Besides, what Colin's behavior on the Tonight Show shows is that he does know Bradford, so he purjured himself in court which means- after Bradford is done with him in court- HE'S GOING TO JAIL! TOO BAD!

19. The interesting thing about Bradford is that she failed a lie detector test when asked about her purported relationship with Colin. As for Bradford failing a lie detector test- there’s a very simple reason lie detector tests results are inadmissible in court- what they measure is anxiety levels- namely when people lie they become anxious- expressed by physiological changes. It’s possible to trick the machine if properly trained and Bradford states she was harassed and stalked so if she really was harassed and stalked, mere mention of said incidents is going to make her anxious regardless of what she says- if anything, the results prove she was traumatized- and therefore, telling the truth.

20. I've heard of this name Dessarae Bradford before, I'm thinking Alec Baldwin and Colin Farrell are not her only victims...I think she has a history of filing lawsuits against celebrities

21. The interesting thing about Colin Farrell- he was married once for about five months to a young women who after they divorced- when asked in an interview if she had a boyfriend, she commented to the effect that she was no longer dating anyone and past that stage in her life. As for Nicole Narain- I read a recounting of her interview on Howard Stern Show and Nicole's recounting of her relationship
with Colin read like a typical abuser relationship-with Colin being the abuser. Namely he was supersweet- had her in bed by the end of the first night he met her (I believe) and was oversexed. And they broke up when Nicole's career took off- presumeably because she was no longer easy to control. Based upon what I've seen of Nicole she is a passive, easy to control person so it is unlikely that she would have put the sex tape out of them having sex together of her own volition. More likely, Colin talked her into putting out the tape so that he could turn that into a big publicity stunt no doubt for some EXTREMELY NEFARIOUS reason that I am sure will one day come out and probably end Colin's career. As for Colin's wife- I'm sure a closer look will reveal that a driving factor in the divorce was that he abused her- and then used his money, power and influence to cover it
up after the divorce as the only thing that is going to make a young woman like that lose interest in dating and men is being brutalized by a man.

As for Bradford- she is exactly the sort of person an abuser such as Colin is going to stalk as she is a strong, bright, attractive, sexually liberated person of the sort that men fantasize about- so she fits in to the category of someone who is easy to idealize into the perfect woman- and therefore someone a weak person
like Colin needs to 'get' as a way to fix the problems in his life. And since Bradford appears to be poor, or in the least, disavantaged- namely not a member of the powerful elite- that makes her someone who is easy to take advantage of so if Colin wants to brutalize her- not much she can do about it. Case in point......

23. The last time i checked, if you are being stalked by someone, you don't go serving them court papers yourself, you have someone else do it!! Weirdo, she is just trying to make a million while she can.

24. First of all if you are going to write sh*t about some one, shouldn't you know the facts.Dessarae did not sleep with Colin,as she freely admits she never met him in person. The Leno show was her first face to face, shouldn't we all wait for the court case before passing judgement?
You may think i am taking this a little personaly, well i am, the reason being my name is Lee and me and Dessarae have just fininshed a 8 month relationship.So for what ever reasons we finished and how we do or don't communicate now, it infuriates me that people write nasty things.Does she deserve it? are we all not a little crazy sometimes, lets wait for the truth before passing judgement.

25. To jme 4538,it's interesting that someone thinks you know and slept with Dessarae, your support is a welcome change from the usual s**t that is being written.You mention her background etc, out of interest how do you know all this?
Do you know her personaly?
From your comment, that he did sleep with her, i know you don't,because she freely admits she never met him in person until the Leno show.I'm not ragging on you,cussing you or angry,i'm just interested in your comments.You can e.mail me personaly at Leebith@yahoo.com if you would like,and i can fill in some blanks you seem you may be interested in. thank you
