Hilary Duff gets a stalker
TMZ is reporting that Hilary Duff has filed a restraining order against a paparazzi and a homeless man for stalking her and boyfriend Joel Madden. The paper claims that a 19-year-old Russian emigrant came to the United States “for the sole purpose of meeting and becoming romantically involved with Ms. Duff.”
The court documents state the man, whose first name is Max, “admitted to being ‘obsessed’ with her, has stated his intention of ‘removing’ his ‘enemies’ (i.e., those who prevent him from being with her), has stated his intention of purchasing a weapon, and has threatened to kill himself and to engage in dramatic actions to get her attention.”
According to the documents, Max “has stated his belief that Hilary is in love with him and that Joel Madden stands in their way.”
The court documents also claim David Joseph Klein, a 50-year-old celebrity photographer who is roommates with Max, is also a threat.
The documents state, “Over the past six weeks, the defendants have engaged in an accelerated effort to make contact with Hilary, including visits to her neighborhood, to her mother’s home, to her boyfriend’s neighborhood … to Mr. Madden’s concert venue, and direct calls to Hilary’s manager.”
According to the documents, the police detained Max at least once at one of Madden’s concerts and questioned Klein at the same event.
I don’t understand who in there right mind would be stalking Hilary, they would have a better chance if they went for Paris Hilton or even Lindsay Lohan.
