There's Crazy People All Around
Filed under: Uma Thurman
Uma Thurman's mom testified Tuesday against the crazy stalker who was harassing her daughter.
An ex-mental patient, Jack Jordan 37, is accused of calling and threatening to kill himself unless Uma fulfilled his love fantasies. He's apparently been stalking Uma for about two years.
Aside from the call, there were also 19 emails that Jordan sent. Oh, and Mr. Crazy also turned up at her trailer during a SoHo movie shoot. AND he even rang the doorbell at her Greenwich Village home.
The family obviously feared the mentally ill Jordan might redirect his suicidal urges and go after Thurman or her children.
Uma's mother, Birgitte Thurman, stated that Jordan "believed he and my daughter had a predestined life, that he knew this and she didn't. I tried to explain this is a fantasy. … My daughter has no interest in meeting him. He said if that was the case, then there was no meaning in life for him, he would have to kill himself."
An email from Jordan, read in court by Uma's father, states "Today the center of my forehead is ticking now and then. I feel in love with your daughter Uma. Please don't feel you have a stalker on your hands."
Uma may be set to testify on Thursday.
Let's hope she's convincing enough to keep the crazy guy away!

Wierd!
He needs to go back to the psych ward ASAP then. Why do they let people like that out to begin with?
First
Stalkers suck!!! I have one on MySpace
Ugh! Poor Uma!
Why…..she's not even hot!!!
omg martha just mentioned you and showed your picture on her show! lololol
First of all Schizophrenia is a very serious illness and you should NEVER judge something you clearly know nothing about, Perez. That means you are prejudice. I am sick of the media putting such a negative light on mental illness. There is such a fascination with mental illness and it is so misunderstood at the same time. Why do so many movies (about mental illness) win oscars? People are fascinated with the unknown. I am currently working on an exhibit which will educate the public on all the misconceptions surrounding mental illness in hopes that people become more empathetic to to the mentally ill (just like they are with the physically ill). Perez is a hypocrite for trying to reduce stigma with homosexuals…why doesn't he carry that compassion into others areas such as this one. My heart goes out to all of you who are dealing with or related to someone with a mental illness.

hi
Sounds like true love!
Bet you wish someone….ANYONE….liked you enough to stalk you….Right Perez?????
i don't know her.. i was more famous than her prior than pulp fiction.
get off
I can see you.
Being stalked is probably one of the scariest things a celebrity could ever face, its like, holy crap.
That photo looks nothing like Uma!
I don't know, I think they'd make a nice couple because Uma is nutty also.
Re: ME – YOU GO, GIRL!
HOW DID HE GET HER EMAIL AND HOME PHONE NUMBER??
Joe=Quentin Taratino
Man all that guy needed to do was carry around a camera and he would've been able to follow her for life..
Re: ME – who says he is schizophrenic? he is probably suffering from erotomania, as most stalkers are. and this isn't msnbc, it's perezhilton. people come here to have a laugh about even the darkest of topics. if you want an accurate portrayal of mental illness, this isn't the place sweetie.
This just makes me feel sick. Hope the stalker gets treatment and Uma can carry on her life as normal. Just too creepy.
WHY ARE THESE PEOPLE WALKING THE STREETS?
THESE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT SHOULD BE LOCKED UP — DELUTIONAL WACKOS NEED TO BE IN MENTAL HEALTH FACILITIES NOT ON THE STREET. WHEN YOU CAN'T TELL THE DIFFERENCE FROM REALITY TO DELUTIONAL FANTASY.
Uma has got to be the ugliest woman I've ever seen. She totally looks like a drag queen. Someone once told my girlfriend "You look just like Uma Thurman." I guess they thought she'd be flattered. Her reply? "Gee, thanks a lot.":[…you know. it's those fish eyes.
I love Uma. I hope she's okay :0 x
her mother's name is nena. her GRANDMOTHER was named bridgette and was so beautiful a statue was built of her in sweden somewhere.
why does she look preggers?
What I want to know is how does one go about getting phone numbers and emails??? Im thinking he must of known her or her family/friends at some point…and became obsessed and managed to get her number.
he's obviously a mental case for stalking such an ugly woman
i wonder why she gets stalked??? could shaking her ass and doing the autograph thing have anything to do w/ it???
Is Uma having a baby?
Jesus, let the motherfucker kill himself, fuckin' psycho……
8 - ME says – reply to this

I agree..Stalkers need lock UP and psych help…Dont hate them ..Get them help..do it with help and respect as with any other problem like cancer, death, and shock, thats why we should be there to help our our people in our society, any of us can feel lost for a while when serious things happen in our life or its gets so intence that we dont know how to cope. We shouldnt rip off people who lose it…we should see that they need help to cope.
