Taylor Swift Stalker Yearned to Rape, Murder the Singer
WARNING: The following content is graphic in nature.
We’re not talking about a graphic photo or graphic video or any sort of image that may haunt your dreams.
We’re talking about the mere summation of what one man says he wants to do to Taylor Swift.
It’s truly horrifying.
According to TMZ, Swift has been dealing with a stalker for the past two years or so.
His name is Eric Swarbick. He is 26 years old. And he’s been sending letters to the musical superstar since September of 2016.
According to legal documented filed by Swift’s legal team, the message have become increasingly alarming over the past few months.
They have caused the artist immense levels of stress, fear, concern and anxiety.
Taylor is worried that Swarbrick will make good on his threats — and it’s very easy to understand why, once you read the content of these letters.
We’ve published excerpts below and, once again, want to warn readers that this is disgusting stuff.
I want to rape Taylor Swift. This is why I hate Taylor herself … This is how I know I am Taylor’s soulmate, reads one passage.
I have learned to absolutely repress the metaphorical monster in me, but, very soon, I will become completely responsible for myself …
What logical conclusion is there other than death, reads another.
I will not hesitate to kill her … and there’s nothing you, your lawyers, or the law will be about to do about it. Remember who I am, reads another.
We truly can’t imagine what it must have been like for Swift to receive these letters, can you?
In response to the barrage of ugliness, a judge ordered Swarbrick this week to stop contacting Swift immediately,; he’s not allowed to go near her or her property, either.
No matter what anyone thinks of Taylor Swift, you must be a truly evil individual to think she deserves anything such as this.
Moreover, it’s not the first time the singer has had to deal with a crazed fan.
Swift recently won a five-year restraining order against a man who was arrested for trying to enter her home in Los Angeles, armed with a knife.
In April, Julius Sandrock was arrested and charged with felony stalking after he was spotted at the singer’s estate… wearing a mask and rubber gloves while carrying a rope, knife and live ammunition.
Swift was granted a five-year long restraining order against him.
Taylor was not at home at the time (thank goodness), but the incident left her in “extreme distress” and made her fear for her “personal safety,” according to court papers.
ALSO earlier this year, a 23-year-old named Justin Christoph Lilly was arrested for attempting to scale a wall outside Swift’s residence.
He was sentenced to three days in jail and a year of summary probation, on the condition that he stays away from Swift’s home.
If this is the price of global fan, one has to wonder if it’s even worth it.
Hang in there, Taylor.

Christina Grimmie"s Mother Tina Dies Two Years After Singer Was Killed
Two years after Christina Grimmie was murdered by a fan, her mother, Tina Grimmie has lost her battle with breast cancer.
“We are saddened to announce the loss of our beloved Tina, also affectionately known as ‘Mama Grimmie’ to the millions of fans of Christina Grimmie around the world. She will be missed immensely,” the Grimmie family said in a statement via social media on Sunday.
“Tina fought a courageous and brave battle with cancer for many years, even until her final hours with family by her side,” the statement continued.
“While this is a bittersweet moment for us as a family, particularly after losing Christina two years ago, we rejoice at the thought that Tina and Christina are united once again in the presence of our Lord and Savior.”
In June 2016, Christina was shot by Kevin James Loibl after performing as the opening act for Before You Exit at The Plaza Live in Orlando.
The singer was signing autographs for fans when the gunman opened fire.
Christina was hospitalized following the shooting but died from the gunshot wounds. Her killer turned the gun on himself shortly after Christina’s brother Marcus tackled him.
Loibl died at the scene as a result of his injuries.
“Tina Grimmie was a powerful and shining example of motherhood, being an amazing wife while giving love and encouragement to others. Her laugh, energy, passion and joyful spirit will eternally be a part of all of us,” the statement added.
“Tina was truly a one of a kind soul and our hearts are heavy. We respectfully ask for some private time to process her passing. In lieu of flowers, we invite you to make donations to the Christina Grimmie Foundation in Tina’s honor,” the statement continued.
Prior to her passing, Christina had been open about her mother’s health woes, admitting that she had survived breast cancer four times.
“My mom has had breast cancer four times, now. And she just got put back on chemo again,” she told AXS in October 2014.
Christina shot to fame in 2009 when she began uploading videos of her singing to her Youtube channel. The account racked up over 375 million views by 2013, further solidifying the fact that she was a talented young woman.
She went on to appear on NBC’s The Voice in 2014, and immediately struck a chord with viewers thanks to her vocal range and bubbly personality.
She ultimately finished in third place, behind winner Josh Kaufman and runner-up Jake Worthington.
Since Christina’s death, her family has kept in touch with fans by releasing previously recorded music, and by launching a foundation in the star’s name.
The foundation was started with the aim of supporting families who lost a loved one to gun violence and families with relatives diagnosed with breast cancer.
We extend our thoughts and prayers to the Grimmie family at this difficult time.

Jill Janus, Singer of Rock Band Huntress, Commits Suicide
Jill Janus, the frontwoman for popular heavy metal band Huntress, was found dead on Tuesday, others in this group have confirmed.
She was 43 years old.
While details are still coming in regarding her passing, this is what band members wrote on Facebook last night as tragic confirmation of the news:
“It is with crushed hearts that we announce that Jill Janus – frontwoman for the California heavy metal band Huntress – passed away on Tuesday, August. 14.
“A long-time sufferer of mental illness, she took her own life outside of Portland, Oregon.”
Continued this post:
“Janus spoke publicly about these challenges in hopes of guiding others to address and overcome their mental illness.”
Huntress were formed in 2009 and released its first album, Spell Eater, in 2012.
The band went on to release a further a pair of orther records as well, while supporting and opening at times for rock bands Motörhead and Lamb of God.
Best known for the singing gig described above with Huntress, Janus also sang for a handful of female metal cover bands over the years, including The Starbreakers and Chelsea Girls.
“Beyond her accomplishments in the music world and her advocacy for mental health issues, she was a beautiful person passionate about her family, animal rescue and the world of natural medicine,” the Facebook message reads, concluding
“She will be missed more than she could have ever known.”
It is unclear at the moment just how Janus took her own life.
The artist was diagnosed with bipolar disease aged 20, telling Revolver magazine in 2015 that she struggled in high school after starting to show signs of this illness at 13 years old.
In response to this awful news, partner and Huntress member Blake Meahl paid tribute to Janus as follows yesterday:
“[We] spent 9 years together creating a home, having a family and building our passion project Huntress.
“The devastation of knowing I will never see her again is the most gutting emotion I have ever experienced. I hope you have found the peace that you couldn’t find on this planet.”
Added Lizzy Hale of Halestorm:
“I’d like to take a moment to state again how important it is to talk about mental health, and remind all of you out there battling demons that you are not alone.
I have to navigate my own dark labyrinth and I turn to music and writing for my lifeline. I want to encourage you to keep searching for Your lifeline, something that makes You happy.
To Jill, My sister of scream, I hope wherever you are you have found the peace that you couldn’t here.
My deepest sympathy’s go out to Jill’s Family and her band Huntress during this time.

Demi Lovato Overdose: Did the Singer Take Dirty Drugs?
With Demi Lovato having checked in to rehab, hopefully focused on turning her life around, we have a couple updates on the troubled singer.
First, a new report claims to have information on what caused Lovato to overdose back on Tuesday, July 24.
According to TMZ insiders, Lovato did indeed spent most of the previous evening out and about with friends.
As detailed shortly after this frightening incident took place, Demi hit up a club in Hollywood to celebrate a pal’s birthday and then continued the celebration with a smaller group of acquaintances at her home.
(These were allegedly the toxic influences that Lovato has since vowed to eliminate from her life.)
Following her night out at Saddle Ranch on the Sunset Strip, and after she returned to her residence with these friends, the aforementioned TMZ article states that Lovato sent a text message to a drug dealer at 4 a.m.
The drug dealer received the text and responded, arriving at Demi’s home with two freebased Oxycodone on tin foil.
But that’s not all.
This new and scary report goes deep.
These sources say, unbeknownst to the singer, the drug dealer in question had a dangerous habit of buying dirty drugs from Mexico — and the batch he handed over appeared to be laced with fentanyl.
This is the same drug that killed Prince and Lil Peep.
Ummm… yikes, right?
Original reports after Demi’s overdose alleged that the star overdosed on heroin, but most of these were later corrected via follow-up posts and quotes.
TMZ even writes that the drug dealer remained at Lovato’s home until he noticed she was breathing heavily in bed, at which point he fled the scene.
Eventually, Demi’s assistant found the singer unconscious and called 911.
It’s more or less been confirmed at this point that paramedics administed Narcan to Demi, a drug used to combat the dangerous of an overdose.
This may have been what saved Lovato’s life, as she regained consciousness and was then rushed to the hospital.
Lovato spent about two weeks under doctors’ supervision and then jetted off to an out-of-state treatment facility last week.
She has understandably canceled all tour dates for the remainder of 2018 and there’s a very good chance we don’t hear from her, or even about her from anyone named on record, for a long time.
“She will be in rehab for several months and is doing an extensive program to ensure she gets the help she needs,” a source tells E! News.
The 25-year-old, though, is currently in Chicago, where she’s undergoing treatment with a therapist who focuses on sobriety, mental health and wellness.
Demi has made it clear over the years, in numerous interviews, that she faces all of these problems and more.
She has struggled with substance abuse, an eating disorder and general self-esteem issues.
Lovato has not been in much contact with anyone close to her, although ex-boyfriend Wilmer Valderrama has checked in whenever possible.
“Wilmer has been in touch with the family and has been checking in on Demi’s status,” writes E! News, adding that the actor hasn’t really spoken to Lovato directly:
“The family is trying to make sure they eliminate all distractions and want her to be focusing on her health right now.”
We continue to keep Lovato in our thoughts.

Ramona Singer Breaks Down Over Carole Radziwill Departure
Ramona Singer is sad.
She"s just…. very, very sad.
During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen this week, the veteran Real Housewives of New York City cast member was asked if she had a reaction to the recent news concerning Carole Radziwill.
This news, of course, is that Carole Radziwill is leaving the franchise that made her famous.
The award-winning journalist and reality star (there"s a combo you do not see very often, huh?) made the announcement on Wednesday.
And Singer reacted to it just hours later.
"I love Carole inside and out," Ramona said, barely able to hold off her tears.
"I think she"s really warm, special, down to earth, truthful, giving, kind, supportive of women, genuine, smart [and] fabulous. I"m like, "Wow."
"I"m going to miss not being with her doing the next season. It"s going to be a void.
"This is going to be a void for me."
Of course, not all Housewives would agree with this sentiment.
Radziwill and Bethenny Frankel have been clashing throughout Season 10, with it being rather clear that Carole was making a reference to her former friend and current enemy upon confirming her departure from the series yesterday.
"I am sure this does not come as a surprise to any of the viewers, all of whom have been supportive, encouraging, and kind.
"My original curiosity about reality television has waned over the years and I am focusing on TV and writing projects that better suit my more steady temperament."
Then, in a perceived dig at Frankel, Radziwill added she"s "thrilled to leave frenemies behind."
In the often-heated parlance of Real Housewives, this was really a pretty tame dig.
Singer is the first cast member to comment on Carole leaving the show, which she joined on Season 5.
Luann de Lesseps, Dorinda Medley, Sonja Morgan and Tinsley Mortimer have not yet commented on Radziwill"s exit.
The Real Housewives of New York City, meanwhile, is in the middle of its current season right now.
It airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. on Bravo.
Check out the video above to see Singer"s emotional response to Radziwill"s leaving the program.
