Thurman’s Parents Testify About Stalker’s E-Mails
Thurman’s Parents Testify About Stalker’s E-Mails

For the past two years Oscar-nominated actress Uma Thurman has been facing weird threats coming from a former mental patient, who apparently has a crush on the 38-year-old actress. The stalker is 37-year-old Jack Jordan. He was arrested in October 2007 and he started sending mails in late 2004. Tuesday was her parents’ turn to testify against the disordered man.

Jordan is accused of stalking and aggravated harassment against the blond actress for two years. At the beginning he sent e-mails and then he started to make phone calls to her house. Lately the man began to turn up at her house in Greenwich Village where she lives with her two children. The trial takes place in Manhattan’s state Supreme Court. If he will be found guilty he will face up to one year in jail.

Thurman’s housekeeper, Dorota Janas who testified on the second day of the trial, said that Jordan used to ring the door bell at least 2 times a day in at least 10 days last summer. Furthermore, Janas recognized Jordan sitting on the front stoop a few days before another employee called police. The housekeeper also found a letter addressed to Uma, which she gave to the actress’ former assistant in august 2007.

Samara Koffler testified that she returned from the Bahamas in August 2007 and saw the letter Janas had found. She read part of it in court. "Ask your assistant to let me wait inside until you return. I feel afraid that if I see you with another man I'll kill myself," the letter was saying.

Further on, Uma’s parents described some of the e-mails their daughter had received from the stalker. They said that Jordan sent almost 20 e-mails. In each and every single one of it, the man threatened to commit suicide if Thurman wouldn’t respond to his feelings.

The first one to testify was Brigitte Thurman, the "Pulp Fiction" star's mom, who said that she also received a phone call from the man saying that he felt that he and Uma had a predestined life. "I tried to explain this is a fantasy. ... My daughter has no interest in meeting him," she said. "He said if that was the case, then there was no meaning in life for him, he would have to kill himself."

Next, her father Robert Thurman revealed that in February 2005 he receive a mail from the stalker who was saying that "Today the center of my forehead is ticking now and then. I feel in love with your daughter Uma. Please don't feel you have a stalker on your hands." Both the parents are afraid that the man could turn his anger toward the actress and her children.
