Woman Arrested On Suspicion Of Stalking John Cusack

MALIBU, Calif. (AP) - A woman who was ordered to stay away from John Cusack has been arrested on suspicion of stalking the actor and violating a restraining order.
Emily Leatherman was taken into custody Sunday after Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies were called to Cusack's neighborhood, where a cab driver reported that a passenger didn't have enough money to pay for the ride to get there, sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said Monday.
As the deputies were responding to the situation, they were flagged down by Cusack. ''He told them he recognized the woman in the cab and that she had been stalking him,'' Whitmore said. He said deputies found evidence at the scene that led to the arrest, but he declined to elaborate, citing the investigation. Leatherman was arrested for investigation of stalking, violating a restraining order and petty theft. She was being held on $150,000 bail. Whitmore said the 33-year-old woman is ''considered a transient in the Santa Monica area.'' A call to Cusack's publicist wasn't immediately returned.
In July 2006, Cusack was granted a temporary restraining order stipulating that Leatherman stay at least 500 feet away from him, his home, his work, his car and offices or companies in which he does business. In court papers, Cusack said Leatherman ''is showing unusual interest by stalking, throwing long letters of interest over my fence in bags with rocks and screwdrivers inside, making unannounced visits to offices of people I work with in an attempt to meet with me and listing my address as her own during a recent arrest.'' Leatherman has claimed she only sent Cusack two letters.

Who the hell would stalk his ugly ass?

[Trixie]

She probably thinks he's Lloyd Dobler.

On a side note, that's one bad case of rosacea.

This has been going on for at least a few years now. Who the hell becomes obsessed with John Cusack?!

Uh, me?

Just kidding, but a few years ago I was really, really into him and used to tell people I would watch John Cusack watch paint dry.

[Just Kill Me]

I love him.

LMAO Imo, he ruined 1408. But he's not as bad as some of the other actors out there. I think Jeremy Piven has more charisma onscreen, but hearing about his douchebag attitude offscreen turns me off. At least John Cusack sounds like a nice guy.

[Sasha]

^^Jeremy Piven is an ass.

Trust.

And that is all I will ever say about him.

[sparkly]

^What do you know? SPILL. We're all friends here.

[Sasha]

^^Nothing I can prove. It came to me second hand from a person I trust. If I told you what she said, me and my friend could both be sued and would probably lose. It was nothing criminal, just extremely assholish.

Jeremy Piven is an ass.

[sparkly]

^Actually, I'm pretty sure you can definitely post it on a public message board without being sued. Besides, if it's true, you could take an ad oout in the paper if you wanted, and there's nothing he can do .

[Sasha]

As far as I know it's true, but proving it in a court of law would be impossible. Besides, she wasn't hurt or frightened or anything, just very shocked and disgusted. Nothing she wants to go to court over-not worth it.

[Sasha]

^^And just to add: I would not want to post information on a public message board that I cannot personally verify. I trust my friend, but it would be my butt in the event it wasn't true.

Yikes, I should have stuck to my policy of always posting "Jeremy Piven is an ass" and left it at that!

[sparkly]

LMAO, no problem. We all know he's an ass.
