And the stalking game is probably even scarier now because of social media. Some would say it’s the price you pay for being in the public eye, but it’s no denying that some people cross the line.

Hit the gallery for 10 celebrities who dealt with stalkers.

Justin Timberlake 

JT got stalked several years ago. In 2009 he was granted a temporary restraining order against a female lurker that made her way to his home. Word is the woman wasn’t mentally stable and may have been homeless. Maybe she just needed a place to crash?

Usher 

Usher’s stalker was pretty bold. She popped up at his house (twice), attempted to extort money, threatened to follow him on tour, and recorded a bizarre video about being married to him.

Jay Z  

Dedication is an understatement for Jay Z’s accused stalker. She proudly stalked Hov’s life for three years and even went on Dr. Phil to talk about the craziness.

Sanaa Lathan

 A 28-year-old man was stalking Sanaa Lathan, claiming to be her husband. He even slept in her bed (bruh…). Lathan was granted a restraining order.

Ashanti 

Ashanti’s stalker is a piece of work. He was already convicted for harassing her, and got right back to it after his jail stine. Now he’s back in jail for breaking a protective order and sending inappropriate text message and tweets. He’s representing himself in court.

Tyler Perry   

An employee at Tyler Perry Studios had the nerve to stalk Madea (birth name: Tyler Perry) last year. Joshua Sole wanted to meet Perry so badly that he went up to his office to get that one-on-one time. They wouldn’t let him in, and it took several hours for cops to get the man to leave.

We’re guessing he got fired too.

Gwen Stefani

Gwen Stefani’s stalking predicament is on-going. The man stalking Stefani has expanded to her family too (he called her dad). He also threatened to take his own life.

Whitney Houston 

A year after her 2012 death, the FBI released documents revealing that Whitney Houston had a stalker between the late ‘80s and early ‘90s. The guy sent her a bunch of letters and went to her concerts, but he luckily never got close to her.

Jamie Foxx 

 Jamie Foxx’s stalking incident happened in 2009. Some 49-year-old dude worked his way up to the actor’s Philly hotel room, posing as a producer (for Beyonce, no less). Foxx caught on to the jig and stopped him from coming inside. The man  tried to break in three different times,  and Foxx slammed the door in his face one of those times.

Halle Berry  

The guy who stalked Halle Berry got a year in jail for the crime. He scaled Berry’s fence and got onto her property in July 2012. She came face-to-face with him at one point, but thankfully he was outside staring at her through a glass door. Berry called the cops but he got away.

He was later arrested.

Michael Jordan 

One of Michael Jordan’s female acquaintances, ended up stalking him in 2008. She sent him more than 400 emails and lots of phone calls, and claimed her fathered her child (he didn’t).
