Celebrity Justice
Billy Bob Accused of Bugging the Hell Out of Lady

Billy Bob ThorntonBilly Bob Thornton is under fire for allegedly being a huge cyber-pest -- the kind that shoots off annoying e-mails and plants bugs in people's homes.

According to an LAPD report filed by Elysabeth Cherniak -- the sister of Billy Bob's fourth wife -- Thornton has been harassing her for nearly two years. She originally thought he was trying to "court her," but then "the e-mails became more insulting." She also believes "Mr. Thorton [sic] has listning [sic] devices in her home."

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ they are waiting for Cherniak to bring in copies of the emails and other evidence so they can continue their investigation.

Thornton was married to Pietra Cherniak from 1993-1997, and the couple had two children.

Billy Bob's rep tells us this is "absolutely false," adding, "Billy doesn't use e-mail and never has. Anyone who knows him would know that." The rep says the woman has "a history of making these very same false accusations in the past."

22. Don't know if this lady is telling the truth or not, but this kind of thing IS happening. More celebs/famous ppl do stuff like this than you might think, & the ppl who accuse them are not all crazy. The lady who accused Janet Jackson of this type of thing comes to mind. I know 1st hand about this kind of stuff-Stay Tuned....

23. Regarding the [sic]s: the "e" is missing in "listning" and the first "n" is missing in "Thorton".

24. Not sure if I believe this or not, sounds fishy.

25. hey #5...sic stands for spelled incorrectly, meaning the original
version, usually a quote, that someone has written, was spelled
incorrectly...why didn't you pick up on his name being misspelled?
Most think sic means, its "sick," but it doesnt...it just shows that the
person writing the artical knows the word is misspelled but uses the exact
wording anyway...there, so now you know! In this case listning is missing and e, and Thorton is missin an n...

26. What was Angelina thinking when she married that guy? She did MUCH better (no contest) on the man upgrade since then. lol.

27. Hard to believe that Angelina would want to distance herself from this fellow piece of white trash. I mean who WOULDN'T want BillyBob at a family reunion?

I suppose I should give this guy credit -- he's completely worthless, yet he somehow manages to stay in the limelight!

28. Listening. Not listning.

29. Stupid people. Don't they know emails aren't admissible in a court of law, because of hackers. Billy Bob tell your lawyer that. Anyone could have sent them, and btw totally trash your hard drive Bobby.

30. "Billy doesn't use email...and never has"
