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!

      He needs to go back to the psych ward ASAP then. Why do they let people like that out to begin with?

      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.

      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.

      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 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.
