00:00This one is the first, first one.
00:01Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks from the most unhinged fan moments celebs have faced.
00:08My man was arrested after trying to swim more than a mile to Taylor Swift's new home in Westerly.
00:14Number 20, Baby on Stage.
00:16When fans are hyped up at a concert, they'll do just about anything.
00:19Rushing to the stage, tossing gifts, shouting their love.
00:22But putting a whole baby on the stage? That's next level bizarre.
00:30In 2023, during Enmixu's concert in Los Angeles,
00:35one moment went viral when an overzealous, or possibly careless, parent left their baby on stage.
00:41Whether it was meant as a tribute to their idol, or just a misguided stunt, no one knows for sure.
00:45Can you see the paradise? Come go through the girl bun.
00:50Kyujin gracefully handed the baby back, because she thought it looked dangerous, and she wasn't wrong.
00:55While the baby wasn't harmed, it was undeniably reckless,
00:57and fans online didn't hold back from calling it out.
01:00Strangely enough, it turns out this wasn't the baby's first concert either.
01:06Number 19, Alice Cooper's Strange Wife.
01:09Cooper is a rock icon and a well-respected figure in the music world, even today.
01:17So we totally understand if fans go a little crazy for him,
01:20but pretending to be his wife just to get his attention?
01:23Now that's beyond wild.
01:24In a 2013 interview, Cooper shared a surreal backstage moment.
01:28I'm a clone, I know that I'm fine.
01:31Right before a show, someone tells him his wife has passed out backstage.
01:35Rushing back, he finds a woman in an oxygen mask who isn't his wife at all.
01:39Then she goes on to call him endearing names,
01:42and tries to convince her own father, and Cooper, that she's Amy Lee from Evanescence.
01:47According to Cooper, he played along,
01:48but the moment was so absurd, he probably couldn't forget it easily.
01:52All are one and one are all.
01:54All are one and one are all.
01:56Number 18, Someone in the Vent.
01:59It's crazy how far some fans are willing to go just to meet their favorite celebrity.
02:03I feel a premonition.
02:06That girl's gonna make me fall.
02:08In Ricky Martin's case, a fan literally crawled through an AC vent to get into his hotel room.
02:13As Martin shared on the British TV series this morning,
02:16he was walking around naked in his room when he heard some noise.
02:20Welcome to New York City.
02:22In a bucket, cheap hotel.
02:24To his shock, a fan had found a way into his room through the vents.
02:28Instead of freaking out, Martin handled it calmly.
02:31He took some pictures with them and signed some autographs.
02:33Thankfully, the fan wasn't there for any other funny business,
02:41or the story could have taken a very different turn.
02:46Number 17, Phone Thrown at Ed Sheeran.
02:49Celebs getting stuff thrown at them, phones included, is nothing new,
02:53especially for someone as big as Ed Sheeran.
02:55Maybe I'll have right some wrong.
02:59But Sheeran shared a story with Rolling Stone that was just plain freaky.
03:02A fan once chucked a phone at him during a show.
03:05When Sheeran and his crew tried unlocking it,
03:07they noticed the wallpaper was a screenshot of a message saying,
03:10Call this number.
03:16So they called the number, only for the same phone to start ringing.
03:22That's when it hit them that the fan was trying to get the singer to call her.
03:25Maybe it was a rom-com fantasy gone wrong?
03:28Either way, there was no romantic ending.
03:30Just her dad waiting backstage to collect the phone.
03:33I found my old phone today.
03:36Number 16, The Justin Bieber Boat Chase.
03:39How much crowd and chaos can your star power really pull?
03:42For someone like Justin Bieber, it can be absolute mayhem.
03:45I never thought that I could walk in fire.
03:50In 2012, while performing a free concert in Norway,
03:53Justin got more than he could handle.
03:54During the surprise concert, Bieber drew tens of thousands of fans,
03:59many head over heels for him.
04:00The crowd grew so chaotic,
04:02the authorities even considered declaring a state of emergency.
04:09But the madness didn't end there.
04:10After the show, Bieber and his crew got on a speedboat to escape the overwhelming mob.
04:15That's when dozens of fans fired up their own speedboats
04:17and literally chased him across the harbor.
04:20Bieber later shared the surreal moment in a tweet that went viral.
04:22The little fella, fingers shaking, appealed for calm.
04:26You must all listen to the police.
04:28We're all concerned for your safety.
04:30Please listen.
04:31Number 15, Anne's iCloud.
04:33Here's another disturbing example of how fan obsession can spiral out of control.
04:37I want more berries and that summer feeling.
04:42In 2016, private vacation photos of Harry Styles,
04:45Kendall Jenner, Ellen DeGeneres,
04:47Portia de Rossi,
04:48and Styles' mother, Anne Cox,
04:50were leaked on Twitter.
04:51What made it worse?
04:53A Harry Styles fan account claimed to have hacked Anne's iCloud.
04:56And allegedly,
04:57Styles had followed the account at one point.
04:59Neither Jenner nor Styles commented,
05:01but the invasion felt deeply personal.
05:03Styles' sister, Gemma,
05:04later spoke out about how devastated their mother was.
05:07Cox's social media account was eventually deleted,
05:10while hashtag Anne's iCloud
05:11became a trending topic on Twitter.
05:13You know it's not the same as it was.
05:17Number 14, Norman Reedus' Wild Package.
05:20You'd be surprised at the amazing and strange gifts being a star can get you.
05:25Hey, you never shot a crossbow before?
05:27I'm gonna teach you right now.
05:28Come on!
05:29Fans of The Walking Dead will remember Daryl Dixon,
05:31the crossbow-wielding zombie slayer known for his temper.
05:34He's played by Norman Reedus,
05:36who once shared a wild fan story in a GQ interview.
05:39Today's your lucky day, fellas.
05:40According to the actor,
05:41a woman apparently sent him a silicone breast implant
05:44because she felt he sounded depressed in an interview.
05:47Perhaps her logic was that this strange gift could somehow cheer him up.
05:50Instead of tossing it,
05:51Reedus found a use for it,
05:52keeping it as a phone cradle in his trailer.
05:54It seems in Hollywood,
05:56even the weirdest gifts can find a home.
05:57People in hell want Slurpees.
05:59Number 13, The Dead Shark.
06:01At the height of their fame in the late 2000s,
06:03the Jonas Brothers were everywhere,
06:05topping charts,
06:06and even featuring in Disney movies.
06:08This is an SOS or a second guess.
06:11This is the bottom line.
06:14It's true.
06:15But with that level of stardom,
06:16came some really crazy fan behavior.
06:18One of the wildest examples?
06:20A fan once mailed them a dead shark.
06:22Yep, you heard that right.
06:24A dead shark.
06:25It wasn't a massive one,
06:27but someone managed to preserve a baby shark in a tube
06:29and sent it to them as a gift.
06:32Baby shark!
06:34Baby shark!
06:36The craziest part
06:37is that it came with no note,
06:39so there was no way to decipher the fan's intention.
06:41While fans sending gifts to their idols isn't new,
06:44there's no arguing that this one crossed
06:45into deeply unsettling territory.
06:48I'm a sucker for you!
06:49Number 12, Jared Leto's Severed Ear Gift.
06:53Fame has its perks,
06:54but sometimes,
06:55it gets really creepy.
06:56Why are there copies of the style section on the plate?
06:59Do you have a dog?
07:01A little chow or something?
07:04No, Helen.
07:05Is that a raincoat?
07:07Yes, it is!
07:08Jared Leto once received a severed human ear
07:10as a gift from a mysterious fan.
07:12Yes,
07:13an actual ear.
07:14It also came with a chilling note.
07:16Are you listening now?
07:17Leto,
07:18who's known for his eccentricity,
07:19wasn't phased at all by it.
07:21Hey, Paul!
07:22Ah!
07:23Instead,
07:24he poked a hole in it,
07:25wore it as a necklace,
07:26and even posted a photo as proof.
07:28With a fan base as intense as his,
07:30maybe nothing feels too unhinged anymore.
07:32Still,
07:33the big question remains,
07:34whose ear was it?
07:36Was it the sender's?
07:37Or someone else's?
07:38Thinking about it makes it all the more disturbing.
07:40Just another case of fans doing anything
07:42to be seen or remembered,
07:43right?
07:46Number 11.
07:47The Baby Jolene.
07:48There are plenty of thoughtful gifts
07:49you can send to your favorite celebrity.
07:51A photo,
07:52flowers,
07:53a heartfelt letter.
07:54Jolene,
07:55Jolene,
07:56Jolene,
07:57Jolene.
07:59But some fans seriously misinterpret thoughtful.
08:02Case in point,
08:03Dolly Parton once received a real,
08:05live baby
08:06as a gift.
08:07Your beauty is beyond compare
08:10with flaming locks of auburn
08:12according to the music icon.
08:14When Jolene was still a big hit,
08:15she returned home one day
08:16to find a baby named Jolene
08:18left at her gate.
08:19A note explained
08:19that the baby's mother
08:20wanted Parton to have her.
08:26Parton freaked out
08:27like any normal person would
08:28and the baby was taken care of
08:30until the right authority stepped in.
08:32Just how far will some people go
08:33to prove their devotion?
08:40Number 10.
08:40Justin Bieber's $624 bottle.
08:43Beliebers are notorious
08:45for worshipping Justin
08:46as if he were the messiah.
08:47I love Justin!
08:48I love Justin!
08:50Instead of turning water
08:51into wine though,
08:52Bieber just needs to drink water
08:53for miracles to happen.
08:54In 2010,
08:56Justin dropped by
08:56a New Zealand TV studio.
08:58Since her mother
08:58worked at the station,
09:0016-year-old Emma Hall Phillips
09:01got to meet the Biebs
09:02and scored a bottle
09:03of sparkling water
09:04he sipped from.
09:05I think that was a bad decision
09:06on my behalf.
09:08Hey, you don't have water
09:08though.
09:10You gotta hook me up.
09:12Emma and her mom
09:12auctioned the bottle
09:13on Trade Me,
09:14reportedly selling it
09:15for $624 US dollars.
09:18We wonder if there's
09:18a connection between
09:19this water bottle
09:20and the one somebody
09:21threw at Bieber's head
09:22later that year.
09:23In any case,
09:24that's high-quality H2O.
09:25Now that's what I call
09:26high-quality H2O.
09:27Number 9
09:28Swimming up to
09:30Taylor Swift's home
09:30This fan went overboard
09:32to meet his idol.
09:33Asked you,
09:34meet you,
09:34where you been?
09:35I could show you
09:37incredible things.
09:38In 2013,
09:39a 22-year-old Chicago man
09:41was caught swimming
09:42near Taylor Swift's
09:43Rhode Island beach house.
09:44Just before 2.30 a.m.,
09:45the authorities caught
09:46the fan getting out
09:47of the water
09:47roughly a mile
09:48from the singer's house.
09:49Naturally,
09:50the police had a few
09:51questions for him.
09:52According to
09:52the Westerly Sun,
09:5322-year-old Lucas
09:54Vorsteveld
09:55swam about a mile
09:56to the home
09:57before realizing
09:58there was security
09:59details surrounding
10:00the property.
10:01The fan reportedly
10:02confessed that he
10:02had just swum
10:03two miles
10:04and had been
10:04planning to meet
10:05Swift.
10:06That's about as
10:06close as he would
10:07get to Taylor
10:08as the police
10:08arrested and
10:09booked him
10:09for trespassing.
10:11Long story short,
10:12they knew he was
10:12trouble when he
10:13swam in.
10:20Number 8
10:21Mrs. Kanye West
10:22Night swimming
10:23to Taylor Swift's
10:24house might be
10:25crazy,
10:25but this is one
10:26of the most
10:26insane fan stories
10:28of all time.
10:28I'm living in that
10:2921st century
10:31doing something
10:32mean to it
10:33do it better
10:33than anybody
10:34you've ever seen
10:35do it.
10:36The former
10:36Linda Reisa
10:37demonstrated her
10:38devotion to Kanye West
10:39by tattooing his name
10:40on her arm
10:41and buttock.
10:42She also legally
10:43changed her name
10:43to Mrs. Kanye
10:44Risa West.
10:46No one means
10:47to have all
10:48that power.
10:49This street performer
10:50has since gained
10:50attention for singing
10:51songs by Kanye,
10:53Beyonce,
10:53and other celebs.
10:55She also had a run
10:55in with the law
10:56after chucking an amp
10:57through an office
10:57depot window
10:58in Times Square.
11:00Unsurprisingly,
11:01Mrs. Kanye West
11:02isn't the biggest
11:02Kim Kardashian fan.
11:04Number 7
11:04A Tooth for Kesha
11:06With the exception
11:07of the Tooth Fairy,
11:08there aren't many
11:08household names
11:09that would accept
11:10teeth as gifts.
11:11After Kesha
11:18received a molar
11:19from a fan,
11:19however,
11:20she reportedly
11:21decided to wear
11:21it as an earring,
11:23stating,
11:23I love it
11:24when people
11:24send me body parts.
11:29The singer
11:30even asked
11:31for more teeth
11:32on social media
11:32so she could
11:33turn them
11:33into a necklace.
11:34Kesha claims
11:35that she got
11:35over a thousand
11:36human teeth,
11:37which she used
11:38to make a bra,
11:39a headdress,
11:40earrings,
11:40and necklaces.
11:45But when Kesha
11:46checked into rehab
11:46to treat her
11:47eating disorder
11:47in 2014,
11:49the center made
11:49their no-tooth policy
11:50abundantly clear.
11:52Number 6
11:52Tattoos for Miley Cyrus
11:54In 2010,
11:56Carl McCoy,
11:56then 37,
11:58got a tattoo
11:58in honor of
11:59Billie Ray's
11:59most famous daughter.
12:05Although that
12:05should have been
12:06enough to show
12:06his devotion,
12:07McCoy didn't
12:08stop there.
12:09Over time,
12:09he added 28
12:10more Miley Cyrus
12:11tattoos,
12:12spending around
12:133,000 pounds
12:14or $3,900
12:15in the process.
12:17McCoy,
12:18a father of three,
12:19also named
12:19one of his daughters
12:20after his idol.
12:23But when Cyrus
12:23caught wind of this story,
12:25she described
12:25the tattoos
12:26as creepy
12:26and ugly,
12:28leaving McCoy
12:28to seek tattoo removal
12:29starting in 2015.
12:30But then,
12:31that's the price
12:32of obsession.
12:37Number 5
12:38Chris Brown's
12:39Home Invader
12:40Since Chris Brown
12:41pled guilty
12:41to felony assault
12:42in 2009,
12:43he wouldn't think
12:44the ladies
12:44would be knocking
12:45on his door.
12:50In 2015 though,
12:5121-year-old
12:52Amira Ayyab
12:53actually broke
12:54the hinges
12:54off Brown's front door.
12:56She then made
12:56herself at home,
12:57threw out his
12:58daughter's clothes,
12:59decorated the interior
13:00with voodoo-like imagery,
13:01and wrote
13:01I love you
13:02on the walls.
13:03Brown eventually
13:04found Ayyab
13:04naked in his bed
13:05and didn't hesitate
13:06to share the experience
13:07on Instagram
13:08shortly after.
13:09She also spray-painted
13:10what she believed
13:11to be her name,
13:12Mrs. Brown,
13:13on his cars.
13:14Maybe she should
13:14form a support group
13:15with Mrs. Kanye West.
13:19Number 4
13:20Breaking a leg
13:21for Jessie J
13:22When somebody says,
13:23I'd give an arm
13:24and a leg for you,
13:24it's usually meant
13:25to be taken metaphorically.
13:26For this unstable
13:30teenage fan,
13:31however,
13:31it was quite literal.
13:33Jessie J's life
13:33was turned into
13:34a horror movie
13:35when a stalker
13:36hunted down
13:36her personal info
13:37in 2012.
13:38She then proceeded
13:39to send Jessie
13:40a picture of her
13:40broken limb.
13:41This injury
13:42was supposedly
13:42self-inflicted
13:43as the stalker
13:44wanted to mimic
13:45the singer
13:45who had broken
13:46her foot
13:46the previous year.
13:51Jessie additionally
13:52received a series
13:52of unsettling messages
13:53like,
13:54I will do anything
13:55to be just like you.
13:56Jessie responded
13:57by increasing
13:58her security
13:58soon after.
14:03Number 3
14:04Forehead Tattoo
14:05for Drake
14:05Tap my name on you
14:07so I know it's real.
14:08Maybe Drake
14:08should have thought
14:09that lyric
14:09through a bit more.
14:13One Los Angeles
14:14woman will apparently
14:15do anything Drake
14:16says,
14:16as she had his name
14:17tattooed across her forehead
14:18in bulging letters
14:19in 2011.
14:21The woman had already
14:22reportedly shaved
14:22her eyebrows
14:23and head
14:24when she entered
14:24at the LA Tattoo Parlor
14:26Will Rise.
14:30Tattoo artist
14:30Kevin Campbell
14:31inked the woman's forehead
14:32although he'd never
14:33even heard of the rapper.
14:35Drake would subsequently
14:36threaten Campbell
14:37in an interview
14:37and even dropped
14:38by his shop
14:39to give him a warning.
14:40Sometimes,
14:41one tattoo
14:41can make a lot
14:42of headlines.
14:46Number 2
14:47Menstrual Blood
14:48Letter to Taekyon
14:49Writing somebody
14:50a message in
14:50menstrual blood
14:51is creepy
14:52and vomit-inducing.
14:56South Korean singer
14:57Taekyon
14:57of the boy band
14:582PM
14:59received the most
15:00disgusting fan letter
15:01imaginable in 2009.
15:03The letter was not only
15:04penned with period blood
15:05but also garnished
15:06with a side of pubic hairs.
15:08Being as bizarre
15:09as it is,
15:10many internet users
15:11initially wrote the letter
15:12off as a fake.
15:13To prove it was real,
15:14however,
15:15the fan responsible
15:16posted a picture
15:16of her clearly used pad.
15:18Of course,
