Statuesque actress Uma Thurman testified in Lower Manhattan court yesterday against her alleged stalker. Jack Jordan, 37, is being tried on charges of misdemeanor stalking and aggravated assault. He reportedly sent Uma some creepy notes and was arrested in October 2007 after trying to follow and make contact with her from 2005 on. Go away, scary man!
His defense lawyer attempted to make it out like Jordan was just some putz in love who didn't know how to handle his emotions.
"Creepy? Yes. Obsessed? Yes. Criminal? No," the defense lawyer told the jury.
If I was the prosecutor, I would turn to the jury and say four words: "Rebecca Schaeffer. Theresa Saldana." And then sit down. For real, you can't not take people who don't respect boundaries seriously. I know those were 80s cases, but we haven't had a creepy stalking attack in awhile and we're unfortunately probably due for one.
Uma spoke about how she felt when she learned that Jordan might have tried to break into her trailer on the set of My Super Ex-Girlfriend in 2005. And what it was like getting creepy missives from him.
She said she was "completely freaked out" by a card, from Jordan via her assistant, in which Jordan wrote that "my hands should be on your body at all times." GUILTY! Next!
