Sharon Osbourne Survivor
Recently I have been reading Sharon Osbourne’s second book called, “Survivor” I can see how much Sharon has been through reading this. One thing that has really taken me back though is the way one of her fan’s named Doreen took advantage of Sharon’s kindness. This woman thought she had the right to follow Sharon everywhere. I would call that stalking especially the way this woman grabbed Sharon Osbourne’s arm and twisted it really hard. This woman hurt Sharon not only physically, but also mentally.
Imagine the fear of having someone stalking you not knowing what they are going to do. Yet, because of Sharon’s fame this woman thought she had the right to a piece of Sharon’s life. What gives someone the belief that they have a right to a person’s life? Famous or not nobody ever has a right to a person’s life apart from God. Even then it is a personal choice that a person has to make. It is like when you get married and make a commitment to your husband that is your own choice. This woman didn’t care what Sharon Osbourne wanted she was wrapped up in a crazed obsession that made her spend thousands of pounds following Sharon Osbourne from place to place so she could be friends with her. No, it really upset me reading this because although I love Sharon Osbourne and her family I do not want a piece of her life and I certainly don’t have the right to it.
There might be a day when I get a break in the acting world and become famous I wouldn’t want someone stalking me. I have actually experienced something similar. I was going to a social group and there was an older man there who was my friend. I thought he just wanted to be my friend because he knew that I was recovering from a break down. I never once stopped to think he wanted anything more as this guy was aged about 70 and I was only in my mid twenties. When I met my husband my eyes were opened and I realised he wanted more. Even when I had a husband he wanted a piece of me. He would buy me all these gifts and phone me constantly. In the end I had to threaten him with police action and he finally got the message and I have never heard from him again
