George and Amal Clooney defended themselves from a fan-schizophrenic

George Clooney, worrying about the safety of his family, receiving letters with threats, did not let things go by themselves and turned to the police, and then to a court that banned an intruder from approaching the actor and his wife Amal Clooney for five years.

The Costs of Glory

Of course, it's nice to be rich and famous, hearing from the fans how talented, handsome and intelligent you are. However, the glory has a downside, because not always the fans of the stars are adequate. Some of them literally pursue their idols and this mania may well end in tragedy.

Long Messages

With such a stalker, recently had to face the favorite of women and the owner of several Oscars to 55-year-old George Clooney, who now, along with 38-year-old Amal, spends the summer in his house in Italy.

An unknown sender sent a pair of awesome letters on 189 pages, in which he intimidated them and threatened with reprisals.

Actor and his wife, who is a well-known advocate for the protection of human rights, on July 11, appealed to the California Supreme Court with a petition to protect them from a maniac.

Law enforcers could easily find out the identity of the persecutor. He was 55-year-old Mark Bibby. A man who was not entirely adequate was placed in the psychiatric ward of the hospital, where he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and, presumably, schizophrenia.

Court order

In a protective warrant issued by the court for five years, it is said that Mark Bibby can not approach the Clooney couple closer than 91 meters (100 yards) and prohibits any interaction with them. If an obsessive man breaks the ban, he faces a fine of one thousand dollars in fine and one year in prison.
