Everyday folks do not really like to hear celebrities complain about being famous, as it is sometimes hard to empathize with the downsides when you so deeply envy the plus sides. And sure, fame has a lot of amazing perks — money, influence, free stuff, cool experiences, to name a few — but there are real issues no rational human would want to deal with. The invasive paparazzi are a big one, as is the constant rejection and scrutiny. Perhaps the worst aspect of fame, however, is dealing with unhealthy fans (or non-fans). Many celebrities have had stalkers, but they are most common among young, attractive women. Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift, and Jodie Foster are just some of the celebrities who have had to deal with unstable fans. Jennifer Love Hewitt is another.
In January 2009, Hewitt went to court to get a three-year restraining order against a 62-year-old man named David Nolte. Nolte had reportedly sold his home in Colorado to move closer to the star, who was rightfully fearful after receiving more than 120 letters from the guy between 2005 and 2007. According to court documents quoted in The Daily Record, these letters included “delusional and violent fantasies about having sex with Hewitt, marrying her, impaling her and envisioning her fiance with his head blown off.” Hewitt was prompted to finally file for a restraining order after Nolte showed up at her mother’s house in December 2008, with flowers and three letters that he left at the gate.
