Miranda cosgrove had the same situation back in 2014 this guy was obsessed over her and would follow her around and would threaten to kill himself to show how much he loves her in the end that led to a restraining order he was not allowed to come with in 100 yards or contact her and he did violate the order and ended up serving jail time
If you could have voiced a villain from Kim Possible (male or female) who would you have liked to voice?
@@adamgrunther1367 Omg. Imagine Shego being voiced by Christy.

How did you end up with a stalker?
This is another situation where it can happen to anybody. A celebrity is more likely because he or she is well known and therefore people are more likely to be obsessed. But it could happen to anyone and it’s a very tough situation. Christina Grimmie was murdered by her stalker 5 years ago and she didn’t even know of his existence. I’m glad that you survived it.
It is an ongoing thing. Stay vigilant.
@@christycarlsonromano I really hope whoever is stalking you stops or is found out.
@@christycarlsonromano a huevo
I was also thinking of Christina Grimmie… that was truly such a tragedy 💔
@@randinatkowitz2487 yes! She was so sweet and talented and beautiful and she was taken from us too soon. I feel so awful for her family!
As someone who counsels sexual assault survivors, I just wanted to add some info. Yes, it's great to become empowered and that does take time for those that have already been hurt. However, it isn't so simple as learning to fight. For the majority of sexual assault survivors, the assaulter is usually someone that they trusted (family member, friend/date). This is how the power play occurs and it is not natural to want to fight back cousin/step-dad, whoever it may be. The survival instincts take over when we are in serious danger. We either fight/flee/freeze. This is something we don't control. For the majority of the time, the response is to freeze. Then there comes to option to report. Since many of these cases are with family or someone we know, it isn't an easy decision to report and often times, the justice system does not work out because of the "lack of evidence". So usually, best way for empowerment to seek resources, get support, heal. As well as continue to educate the masses about respect and boundaries. And often times, the best way to educate is to be those models to children :)
Good point!
I highly recommend that everyone get security cameras around your house. Its actually fun to see all the crazy stuff that happens outside. We've helped the cops with footage of an accident, the innocent party actually lied about what happened for some reason but our cameras told a different story. Just last night 2 little girls were looking in my car windows. Probably just using the window as a mirror but they couldve been looking for something to steal, hard to say. Theres always something going on in the neighborhood and its nice to have eyes on it.
Good advice!
Bahah yes my house has a camera and it showed that one night these teens were outside and trying not to get caught by the police and it caught one of the girls stuffing (what I supposed were some drugs) into her pants 😂
@@senbebe3320 same.
Just need to make sure you create a complex different password for your home security account than the ones you use for other accounts (email, Facebook etc.). Websites can get compromised and if you use the same password for everything - that compromised password can let hackers inside your house. A lot of people have fallen victim to stalkers through home security cameras.
Omg I have houes cameras but I never see anything not evne at 12am. I loo out my window itself, whic hisn't smart. But the nagain having a 911 firefighter across your street + a cop 4 houses away makes for a dull neighborhood. But there is a long driveway like path between the cop's house & another house. And during the daytiem I went behind that other houes once and saw gang name graffiti or probably just a tagger's stuff on the electric box + some small pair of male underwear on the grass. I went back later & the gang sign was crossed out many times. I wrote a note for the cops and I was too spooked to go there after dark. I'm too spooked to go there during the day now too.There was a field behind the cops' house and now it's covered with trees. Also someone stole our mail during daylght and dumped it in a park in another developement with other people's mail.
Thank you 😭 I tell my little sister that all the time. You don't owe people anything. I'm kind. But I've had men guilt me cause I wasn't giving them enough attention. You don't owe people a damn thing. Especially if you feel unsafe then your allowed to leave a situation. I'm so glad you're ok!!
Good advice!
I had a stalker for about 3 months once. Started as a normal friendship and quickly went south to being followed.
It's terrible.
@@christycarlsonromano it really is! the constant anxiety, panic and paranoia is so damaging on our health.. thank you Christy for talking about this. I really relate.
The Selena case is so heartbreaking, she was so young, she trusted this person and then took her life. We miss her so much, here in México she’s an icon, kids who were born years and years after her passing know who Selena was. Prayers for her family and for everyone that has gone through a similar experience 🙏🏼
You know you're an icon when you're named after one. In the year that Selena was murdered, 600 people who were born after that were named after her. That's called making a mark.
I am impressed with the content you're choosing to cover in your recent videos. I wonder what's next. This is very interesting.
Let's make predictions. Probably something about career advice.
Thank you, Chris.
Truly an honor for you to be acknowledging my comment. I was watching Even Stevens and Kim Possible when I was less than half the age I am now.
It’s the worst. I currently have one. Someone that lived with my temporarily and then got really strange and violent. I’ve now had her set my apartment entryway on fire, break in through the windows twice, shown up to places I frequent and causing a scene. It’s the worst and I’d never wish it upon anyone. Despite a restraining order the police really don’t help, she gets booked and then released quickly because of NYC jails being full. I’ve contemplated moving but I just know she’ll find me wherever I go because I have to post location of events I’m attending and then have to warn security at these places. It’s exhausting.
I'm very sorry to hear that.
I’m so sorry you’re dealing with that! Check out the Strictly Stalking podcast, they share a lot of tips on to deal with a stalker and stories from other survivors. 💜
@@christycarlsonromano si
I had an ex boyfriend stalk me as well that included abuse and the cops did NOTHING until i had proof. My family and friends were always around me bc i was afraid of being alone, and it didn't even matter when they stood up for me as witnesses until i finally set up cameras at my friends apt that i had to live at bc i was afraid of him hurting my family, and we caught him on camera violating my order of protection and finally.. bon voyage! The system sucks for real victims that shouldnt be living in fear with no hope. Almost 10 yrs later and i still feel some ptsd from it, that probably will be with me the rest of my life.
“Most women have had something happen” - a few years ago there was a MeToo challenge to ask the women in your life about their experiences with harassment … and from every single one of my friends, to friends of my kids (college age), to my wife and even my 80 year old mother there were stories - and not innocent stuff, but really scary and potentially dangerous situations. Thank you for sharing your voice - and for advocating for safety and vigilance .. and caution.
It's really sad to hear.
Wow
Well, umm, yeah. That shatters an illusion that I've been trying to hold on for the last decade. Then again, having just run across Brendan's channel... I have hope.
I’ve learned the last few years it’s very important for everyone to have healthy boundaries. Even with friends and family.
Yup!
I left all social media a few months ago after becoming increasingly uncomfortable by the number of men who felt Inowed them something by their merely liking my photos or their misinterpreting an acceptance of a friend request.
Always keep you and at your family safe, Christy. Evil exist in this world and people are untrustworthy, dishonest, and evil. Stalkers are consider as those. Can't trust them. Protect yourselves at all cost.
Yup.
As a guy, I would be freaked out! I can only imagine what it's like for a woman. It can go from being sorry for the person to being legitimately afraid. In my mind, there's a thin line between being a diehard fan and an obsessive stalker. Like me, for example. Consider me a fan, since I find your videos interesting, to a point that I want to express my own opinion on the topics you cover. Plus, listening to your voice as Kim Possible when I was a kid, sure helps! However, I'm not gonna go around trying to watch your every move. :D Unfortunately, some people have specific issues, so even when they become stalkers, you have to deal with them carefuly and take action as soon as possible. I have to admit, this topic surprised me but it's good to share experience and raise awareness. :)
A nightmare
Yep! I felt sorry for this one guy and let my guard down and then he ended up trying to constantly contact me, found my Snapchat and kept coming around my job. Luckily a guy that worked at the store across from me (I worked in a mall) caught on to my body language and helped me out. I gladly don't work there anymore and hopefully won't come into contact with him again. He could have meant well, but the fear he gave me was unjustified.
Having a stalker is a nightmare, Before my uncle passed he taught me how to fight, he thought women should know how to protect themselves. He wasn't a perfect dude but he gave me a valuable lesson in life.
He had the right idea.
If anyone reading this comment is in Salt Lake City, Elizabeth Smart has created an awesome self defense program in Trolley Square!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and stories, Christy! I've been loving your channel. You're just so genuine.
❤❤❤
I couldn’t agree more. As a mother with 2 little kids. Anytime I go out with my kids alone I am always aware of my surroundings. I pay attention to who’s around while getting in and out of my car and while putting my children in their car seat. We are far to often paying attention to our phones etc but I solely try to focus on what I’m doing especially with them. Thank you for this video and your insight it’s honestly so true. At the end of the day it’s always better to be prepared and knowledgeable on things like this. Thank you for being an amazing role model to woman.😊 love your channel and your husbands.
Thank you for the support. ❤
The way that strangers react to me has always been abnormal, since I was little, and so I just know now that I am at a high risk of attracting unwanted attention.
One thing I don’t do for example is walk outside by myself…anywhere. I saw a woman walk by in the background of this video by herself and thought to myself, must be nice. Lol I just have identified it as not worth the risk for me.
So sad to hear of the precautions women have to take to protect themselves.
I had a stalker situation before. They found out where I lived and moved into my building directly above me to try and see me all the time in the elevators and in the lobby. They tried to pursue a personal relationship with after me saying no numerous times. It was really scary how determined they were. I ended up having to move out of that building to a totally different place that was 5 times the price only because I knew they could not afford to move in there plus the new complex had serious security which made me feel more at ease. I still worry about it to this day and it happened 7 or 8 years ago. Talk about trauma!
So sorry to hear that you experienced that.
@@christycarlsonromano Christy Romano I luv you on UA-cam ur a great actress of Kim possible I watch it on Disney plus
Hey, queen! Girl, you have done it again, constantly raising the bar for all of us and doing it flawlessly.
LOL!
It’s essential to bring light to these topics. And thank you for referencing Selena. I’m a huge fan 😊
❤❤❤
My dad and I literally had this conversation yesterday! I told him I was so thankful that he taught me to fight and defend myself as a kid. I have been in several situations that it saved me!
Sounds like you have an awesome dad!
@@christycarlsonromano he's definitely one of the good ones ❤
I've had a stalker. It lasted for FIVE YEARS until I found out all of their personal information and took matters into my own hands to force them to leave me alone. And not to mention other incidents in which I almost was a victim of violent crime had I not been intelligent and a good thinker under high pressured situations. I think the boots outside the door is an EXCELLENT tip for women who live alone.
So sorry to hear that happened to you.
It's a shame but you're right - I always recommend that everyone carry at least a small knife - not only defensive but they can be a cool accessory
Thanks.
Buy a gun. Not kidding. Many of these marginal types are on drugs or just live on another planet anyway. Take a marksmanship class and get your concealed-carry permit.
This just gives me chills reading the title. I can’t imagine being in your shoes w that
It was a scary expereince for sure.
Thank you for shining a light into all of the angles we usually don’t get to see. I am thoroughly enjoying it 🤍
❤❤❤
I’m reminded of, and it’s a different kind of fame but still scary, when Jenna Marbles had people show up to her house randomly. They didn’t have “malicious intent”, they were just insane and wanted an autograph, but I can’t imagine how unnerving that kind of experience would be. We all want to feel safe in the world and it’s so unfortunate that being in the public eye especially as a woman makes that so hard.
Yup!
It’s interesting the difference with social media celebrities. They’re able to cultivate a certain type of “relationship” with their fans than even most tv or movie celebrities. It makes many fans feel like that celebrity is their friend, or even that they know each other on some deeper level.
A lot of youtubers had people showing up at their houses or places of work, those people thinking “oh I know this celeb! They’ll be totally cool with me coming to say hi!” It’s a different mindset from an actual stalker (which all types of celebs, and even bit celebs, can get). But still wildly not okay and very creepy.
I feel so grateful to be living in a time with home security options on our phones!
Yup!
Being aware of your surroundings or as the military teaches, situational awareness is very important whether you are home or traveling, as well as knowing some self defense tactics/moves hopefully will help reduce the number of assaults in the US...I commend you on this informative video, it's important that everyone pays attention to their surroundings to avoid being an easy target of assault
Most definitely!
I'm so sorry you have had to deal with this, Christy. I've never had a stalker, but I've had weird guys approach me in libraries and they have been in similar areas of the city as me, not sure whether it was coincidental or if they were following me at the time. He weirded me out because he was being too forward and I didn't even know this guy. As a woman, it can be a scary world out there. I have had guys come up to me after open mic nights in my city and some try to become too familiar too quickly and that scares me. I've also had weird guys comment on my youtube videos and some didn't take the answer no very easily. I was lucky that those online encounters weren't real life encounters because those could have been really dangerous situations.
Stay safe and stay vigilant. ❤
Having 4K high definition security surveillance cameras is necessary in this life. Placing them around the home is a good thing, a person has a peace of mind and eyes all over.
With the advent of social media and UA-cam in particular, people can also have this view of a very intimate relationship where none exists. You and many other UA-camrs talk to us in a very honest manner and sometimes it can blur the lines. Someone with a mental health condition can see the relationship as a two way one when the reality is it’s one way. Responding to comments aside, your videos are not an actual dialogue and people can lose sight of that.
I’m very sorry you’ve had to go through that and are willing to share that part of your life. I hope that if you are currently going through a situation that you stay safe and protected.
That's a good point.
That's called a parasocial relationship
We have a female Marine veteran that teaches firearms training for women locally. Our local PDs and SO's refer us to her. I have basic firearms training from my time in the military, but you can always practice, especially safe handling and storage of firearms.
Very smart!
Me and my husband are looking to buy a home and we are pretty adamant about having a home security system. We also started getting involved in some firearm educational activities. I have always had a pretty nervous around firearms but I think personal and home safety are very important because you never know who's out there with a grudge against you or something.
I would like to get my younger sister involved in self-defense but we've always been such a pacifist family that she recoils at the idea of having to fight against someone.
As always, thanks for sharing. I enjoy these walks you take with your viewers.
❤❤❤
Snazzy, even worse , someone could mistake you for someone else (and THAT person really has to be able to defend themselves). ...
It's really good to know, Christy, that you are suggesting self-defense classes as a way for people, especially women, to protect themselves. I have been a martial artist for 20 years and have taught or helped teach plenty of these classes. They can potentially be a great means of helping people to protect themselves, and others as well, from stalkers and other threats to their well being. Thank you for bringing this up and making people aware of this!
Great video. Good point about the difference between a real stalker and the casual use of the word.
Side note: the music is distracting!
I'm a fan of some actresses, but I value being alone without anyone getting too close, so I would never try to foist myself on anyone who doesn't want the attention, & I believe there's something wrong with folks who think otherwise. Take care, y'all.
"Hard" doesn't even measure up to how horrible it must have been... I'm glad you're ok...
Thank you.
Respect. I'm a man so I don't know what it feels like to be a woman in this world, but I think I can imagine it. Anyway, I'm listening. And I'm supporting. It's past time for harassers to stop getting away with it. It's past time for it to stop being normal.
🙌🙌🙌
"We all put our pants on the same way" never heard that before love this
Thanks for your perspective of this Christy it's super interesting to hear from the side of a celebrity
❤❤❤
*To anyone who thinks you might have obsession-like tendencies, know this:*
You have so much potential, please don't waste your life away stalking another human being, ruining both your life and their life in the process. Instead, direct all that energy and time into making the world a better place - the world needs it.
Good advice!
Omg that's so creepy!!!! This one freaks me out cuz I always wondered how celebs handle this or even how social media people in general. They literally have so much access and photos of you online and that sceeves me out! I dont even really post pics of me on social media just food and decor cuz it freaks me out that anyone can see and do what they want with it. Once you put your image out there or share with the world it's there forever!!!! There are some sickos out there. 😱
Yup!
So happy that you are talking your safety into your own hands! That is so key! My husband is a course instructor for gun safety and he always mentions "situational awareness". We must always be on the lookout everywhere AND listen to our instincts!
Everyone was taught to be docile and it's still encouraged by our society to fall in line. I do believe there's benefits in choosing your battles wisely, not every mistake is a problem.
Interesting point.
No, girls a more so taught to be docile while boys are given more leeway to express their anger.
Don’t diminish the experiences of women and how they are socialized.
You make so much sense. Toxic people worm their way in and it’s not easy to cut them out. What I want to see is more proactive action on the part of law enforcement especially when the stalker is starting to really show their red flags.
You’re so amazing and empowering. Thank you for sharing your stories with us
I hear this. The fact that people think they have a right to have access to you. Boundaries and making sure you protect you first are the most important things ❤️
🙌🙌🙌
Stalkers are an old and dangerous part of celebrity - I think of David Lettermans who wound up stepping in front of a train - or the Lennon sisters who had their Dad killed - it's tragic and creepy - my hat's off to you
Thanks.
I love how you've approached this topic - especially how thoughtfully/respectfully you've referenced the kinds of people who do this.
You really understand why a person goes to this extent of behaving inappropriately or potentially dangerously. People are people and generally no one wants to turn into this kind of person, and of course the victims such as yourself also shouldn't have to deal with this, and are totally within your right to protect yourself and put yourself first.
Loved this 😊
Thank you so much for being such an inspiration to me, Christy. You are beautiful inside and out.
Thank you, Tiffany.
It makes me really sad hearing about this. I'm happy you're finding ways of being comfortable and finding ways to defend yourself.
❤❤❤
Hi, Christy! I'm a huge fan since your Disney days. So thankful you're here on UA-cam. Your shows were a big part of my high school life. Much love from the Philippines! :)
*Also, your hair (beach waves, is that what you call it?) is amazing! Maybe you could do a tutorial in one of your future videos? :D :D :D
Perhaps! Thank you for watching ❤
@@christycarlsonromano OMG YOU REPLIED!!!!!💗💗💗
Christy is the big sister we all need♥️
I have severe social anxiety/phobia and agoraphobic tendencies so I hate leaving my home or socializing, but that's not really healthy. My dog really helps me with this, especially during the pandamic when isolation compounds these disorders. I was able to go outside and take walks and be in nature while feeling safe with my dog. Having a muzzled doberman (he has a compulsive eating disorder--the muzzle keeps him safe from eating things off the city street that could kill him and has made a huge difference in training and working on his compulsion) usually keeps people away, but we have been followed by guys.
One time, it was late at night, around 9pm, and this guy was across the street at a bus stop. All the sudden, he starts yelling at us in Spanish, crosses the street, and starts following us. I don't speak Spanish and I also froze up because of my disorder, so I'd hoped he'd get the hint when we ignored him and kept walking. He kept following, going on and on in Spanish. Eventually my dog stopped, turned, barked once and stood his ground, and the guy stopped, said sorry in English, and went back across the street.
More recently, I was taking my dog for his morning walk, and this guy was across the street at a bus stop (yes, similar situation) and he started yelling across the street. I don't know what he was saying nor did I know who he was yelling to, so I ignored him. He crossed the street and started following me down the sidewalk, yelling at me and trying to get my attention. He didn't get the hint either that I didn't want to talk to him. Then after some time my dog stopped and started going nuts barking and snarling at the guy, who stopped in his tracks. I told the guy to please go away, my dog doesn't like him, I can't help him, etc. But the guy was all "I'm a good guy, he's got nothing to worry about" and stuff like that. Dogs aren't stupid; they know when someone is being inappropriate or acting unusual. This guy was doing both. I got my dog under control and told the guy to leave us alone and we kept walking. As we waited at the crosswalk, my dog turned around and sat facing the guy to keep an eye on him. The guy hadn't followed us but tried talking to my dog from a distance. My dog wasn't having it. My dog isn't a trained personal protection dog, but he does have some instincts and has been mistaken as one.
I'm not sure why anyone, especially a guy, thinks it's okay to follow and yell at a complete stranger on the street, especially a woman. I don't know you. I don't know what your intentions are. I'd be stupid to let you get close enough to find out.
Thanks for this beautiful insight, Christy. However, there's a difference between being a stalker and being socially awkward. I admit to being the latter. This means you unintentionally and unknowingly make someone uncomfortable with your expression and gestures. People often confuse the two.
I think your channel contains the most honest and refreshing content uploaded by a “celebrity” I’ve ever seen. It’s so refreshing to see that you’re clearly just a normal girl who just so happens to have been a child star.
I grew up watching you on Disney and stumbled across your UA-cam channel last week. It’s very humbling to see how much wisdom you have given your experiences in the industry!
Sending lots of love from the UK ❤️
Thank you for the kind words! ❤
Being stalked or having someone nearly snatch you up into that vehicle is absolutely terrifying. And I think anyone who's been through either is in total agreement. I know I am. And entertainers are magnets when it comes to situations like this unfortunately. Because as you said you have no idea who you're dealing with among the crowds. Makes me think of what happened to Christina Grimmie. 😔. Smh. Gone way too soon. She was such a precious person. Still in shock about the whole thing. Similar to Selena. As you said the best any of us can do is exactly as you said. As well as being aware of our surroundings.
Gosh, what happened to Christina Grimmie was so sad.
@@christycarlsonromano Yep it sure was. She was such a light ❤️
My mom came over to my home the other day and as she was leaving she said "don't go outside they may be watching" I was home with the kids and my hubby wasn't home yet. Im sure my mom didn't mean to scare me she just worries and wants me to be aware of my surroundings but yeah I got paranoid for a bit and i kept looking out my windows. Its the world we live in. Thank you Christy for all the advice. Its heartbreaking to hear that you were in so many uncomfortable situations. Im sorry.
I have a 2nd degree black belt and was the best thing I ever did in terms of protecting myself as a woman. Its really powerful feeling knowing you can defend yourself and take on anyone that comes in your way to hurt you. Stalkers are whackos and knowing u can defend yourself makes life a little easier to face and not so worrisome. Good luck with the training if you do pursue it. 😊
🙌🙌🙌
The way you talk about your girls is how i speak abount my dog. shes a 95lb german shepherd. if she went full she would tear your arm out of your shoulder and it would be loose.... but shes a rescue from abuse and the b iggest snuggle bug. but the way christy talks about her daughters reminds me of how i train my dog (p5lbs, but from abuse). and I love it you literally have to show them time and time again and expose them to tiny things and tell tem its not ok. Ugh. Love this podcast, llve the fans, love it all
I was stalked once when I was 18 and had my first job. This guy would sit outside of my work Everytime I was there, he was asking about my schedules from my co-workers. He would follow me and somehow got my number and would call me over 30 times a day. Lucky for him he never found out where I lived because my Dad would have ended him.
So sorry to hear that happened to you.
@@christycarlsonromano thank you ❤️ I feel the same way as you it has helped me feel more empowered and want to protect my children.
As a cosplayer, I resonate with this video so much. Thank you for explaining to others who may not know why we as public figures should always have boundaries and keep our guards up when it comes to strangers! 💗
Thanks for sharing. I can't imagine how hard it is to feel threatened by someone on that level. On another note, I just realized I wasn't a subscriber, even though I so thought I was. Subscribed.
Thank you!
@@christycarlsonromano You're welcome.
Thank you so much for being inspirational and for your tips Christy!
Of course!
Amazing video and sorry that you went through that having a stalker like that. It’s sad hearing stories of celebrities/normal people going through that having stalkers too. Fantastic job
It's okay! My goal is to educate others so that it won't happen to them either.
Love this new format of videos on walks!
Things like are what freaks me out especially being in a wheelchair because I feel like a bad person would go after me first as apposed to someone who can run away and kick.
I’m in a wheelchair too and I’ve grown up always being told to be careful because I’m more vulnerable and can’t get away.
I think its so awesome that you're taking the time to talk about these things! 💗 also, I am 29 and i got to grow up watching you in Cadet Kelly and Even Steven's and I can honestly say that feels like a magical part of my childhood looking back. Thanks for that. 😊
And of course Kim possible 😍
Thank you for being a longtime fan. ❤
Remember ladies, it's is not enough just to take a few one-off self-defence classes. It is important to continuously train and hone those skills. I am a 2 Dan black belt in Tae Kwon Do and have studied it for over a decade... that may not be enough in some cases!!! If you do take classes, take them continuously so your first reaction isn't to freeze, but fight and use your voice!!!
Good point!
The thing you mentioned about celebrities, and how they can be cold and not welcoming towards fans...I never thought about how they could be feeling. Imagine feeling 24/7 that you can be put in danger by any one of your fans. Wow. Thank you for putting that out there. I read a lot of things online and I watch things on TikTok where fans talk about rude celebrities. I guess we never thought what those celebrities could be feeling.
YESS! Selena was an amazing person but yes, she wanted to see the good in the wrong person
Listening to all of this videos… you’ve led such an interesting life so far!
my cousin was stalked, I made light of it saying 'i wish i was stalked by a hot chick', but I realized women (not just celebrities) and probably rightly so, kinda live in a constant fear of being stalked or accosted, so that was a life lesson i learned (my cousin's then new BF got her ex to back off)
This is an important topic handled in a mature way. I really like your channel. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for watching! ❤
Loving the content later. You are a wholesome, real queen. So much talent & warmth.
I remember whenever I was in middle school I was like in the 7th grade (I believe) and this boy who went to the same elementary school as me once told me in front of other students and our two teachers in the class room that he would come to my home at night and watch me and sneak into my bedroom just to be close to me (he never ever did that, but he said it as in he'd do it one day) and the teacher had got onto the male student's case and told him that he should never ever say something to anyone like that what so ever (I cannot really remember everything from then as it's been a very long time)
You know I thought I knew and liked you as Ren Stevens but seeing you share so much and be so real has given me a whole new respect for you Christy! Please keep it up and know that we've got your back! Happy Sunday 👍🏾
Wow, thank you! ❤
Hopefully this will help some people stay safer. I really think a lot of people put wayyy to much personal info including current location on social media which makes them an easy target for many things
That's always the goal!
Looks like 41 of her stalkers didn’t like her call them out. Hahahaha
LOL!
I've watched so many crime shows with my Mom about murder and stalkers and have learned so many times that this could happen to absolutely anybody just sadly celebrities get it the most because they are in the public eye more yet it still stands everyone needs to be safe and very extra cautious no matter what.:)
Yup!
Christy Carlson romano I hope you are safe and blessed 🙌 I'm glad that you're sharing this information with us ,because it's a very serious matter and the stalker he or she needs to be held accountable and get locked up for good.
This is the best video on UA-cam. Thank you so much!!
It throughly disgusts me that people don’t have boundaries point blank. It’s just revolting.
Yup!
Prayer, wisdom and spiritual discernment when navigating the world.
heartbreaking! frightening testimony! stay safe Christy
❤❤❤
This can happen to anyone, not just celebrities. The first anti-stalking law in the US was made largely due to an incident in 1989 involving a non-celebriity. A man named Richard Farley stalked, spied on, stole private info from a software engineer named Laura Black, who rejected all his advances; he went to her company and shot up the place, killing 7 people and injuring her. Other high-profile incidences in the 80s include the stalking/killing of actress Rebecca Schaeffer, and stalking/injuring of actress Theresa Saldana (Joe Pesci's wife in Raging Bull).
I'm sorry you had to deal with this Christy but you are still awesome and truly amazing person ❤ and I like what you show the world you give great advice 👍
❤❤❤
I most definitely recommend more ladies taking up self defense... Not some crappy "Taebo" aerobics, no Karate or other forms, but Krav Maga or Muay Thai can be good... Weapons can be useful, but when you gain the knowledge and train your body to be a weapon, it could be the difference between life or death... YES, please take up self defense, ladies... We all should be ready for any potential danger... Thank you, Christy... Love...
I love how she gets to the point as u click
🙌🙌🙌
today, I was on the train and someone kept looking at me, and he made his way across the train just to bump into me right before he exited the car. suddenly, I was a bit paranoid because I realized nowadays, they could just pop in a gps tracker or any sort of small tracker to you. I don't know why the idea went into my head but I want other people to be aware of this too, always check the bottom of your cars, the sides of your cars, it sucks so bad but men or people in general will randomly want to stalk you if they decide on you as a target out of hate or admiration.
This world is fucked.
Having a gun is a good start.
Having a gun, getting a CCW, range time/training, and keeping your gun away from the wrong hands is the best.
Just a tip and this comes from a cyber security person who I had as a professor. Never put cameras in your house. Never leave anything with cameras uncovered either. That means smart fridges, roombas, computers, security cameras, etc. they are all hackable and give hackers the ability to spy on you. You should always keep the lens covered unless the camera is in use ( like when you have the roomba running) so people can’t hack and spy on you.
I’ve had a old elderly lady neighbor trying to look in our windows and sit outside watch my man get in his truck and leave for work it was really scary I’m thankful she stopped she tried it a few times she saw me gave evil eye and she stopped her bs thankful but it was scary I was scared for him we didn’t know if she was gonna do anything or just obsessive or being a nosy Karen I was just like should we call the cops get security cameras I was not able to sleep having major panic attacks not knowing what she was capable of her intentions . I’m just glad and thankful she stopped and hasn’t been a problem since !
Anyone remember that Dr. Phil episode when this one girl was stalking another one? And got shamed by him and was taken off the show. I felt bad for her. He kept saying she was in a fantasy land when she clearly needed help. Stalkers usually aren't mean people, they just have little self control, and it is not easy, but it's good to just confront them and have a talk with them. Sometimes it's all they need.
I understand, Christy. As a fan even VAs' fan, I have a principle morality as remain nice and friendly to everyone like normal people, not following and stalking everyone like creeps. That is why I don't like stalking and following because I am too nice.
I had a VERY small taste of fame on a writing website where I went viral. I realized that people felt like they had a relationship with me through my writing even though I didn't actually know them. I had a few people who took things way too far in trying to contact me, and it became scary.
Yes, it's strange.
Even if you don’t have a stalker and even if you’re not a celebrity, if you have a family and especially young children it’s always smart to secure your house. All these videos are great but be careful people can find out a lot of information and somebody stalking you could be in the comment section. Don’t want to discourage you though these videos are fantastic.
Good point!
It's always better to stay prepared and be on the safe side Christy, this was another great video, And I really do miss Selena R.I.P. ❤🕊🕊
❤❤❤
Not sure if you read these . But you should totally do a video about you being one of the voice actors for we’re alive . Halloween is around the corner and it would cool seeing how you end up on the zombie drama show .
