10 Utterly Disturbing Ways That Obsessed Fans Go Too Far
4. Causing Themselves Harm
You might have heard about Cut4Bieber making the headlines early last year: in response to their future husband being caught on film holding what appeared to be a joint, Beliebers began to encourage the trending of a topic inviting their fellow fans to cut themselves in order to protest the awful little mans apparent drug use, and upload their images of having done so. Were not sure how the thinking goes, here: but either way Cut4Bieber attracted over 26,000 hits in less than 12 hours, and many horrible images like the one above. Worse, but thankfully an isolated incident: in 2011, singer Jessie J broke her foot after a fall from the stage during rehearsals for a show. Spending months in a cast, she would be forced to play shows sitting down until it healed. Thats when she received a photo from a teenaged fan of her own broken leg, together with a letter that read: I will do anything to be just like you. We mentioned earlier the human ear that Jared Leto received in the mail, right? We imagine thats a scenario where youd almost hope that it did belong to the sender. Finally: its not really self harm, but one obsessed One Direction fan tweeted each member of the band a picture of her standing on her Chihuahua, with the text FOLLOW ME OR ILL BREAK MY DOGS NECK. A few days later, when the tweet had failed to elicit a response, she posted a picture of herself, apparently in tears and cradling her dead dog. Words fail us.
