Jared and Jensen ARE NOT on Twitter or Facebook
My apologies if you’re hearing this for about the eightieth time, or have seen this video circulating everywhere, but it seems that there are some out there that are still getting duped. Plus, we have a large International base on this site, so I’m sure many out there haven’t heard.
Recently Clif Klosterman, the bodyguard for Jared and Jensen (he played Tiny in “Folsom Prison Blues”) has gotten on Twitter because of all the madness. He’s been exposing and going after imposters posing as Jared and Jensen online. He’s also been investigating online threats for Danneel Harris as well. The problem keeps getting worse. One of these accounts got over 10,000 followers. Clif also eluded to an incident where a fan was duped into meeting an imposter for lunch. This has gotten VERY VERY serious. As a result, Clif, through The Winchester Bros website, has had Jared and Jensen themselves come out and say something about this. Below is that video:
If anyone has any doubts, go to @bodyguardfor4JandJ on Twitter. Clif is listing these fake accounts. I will also share info here and there about certain imposters.
This is horrible and really scary. It’s sickening that someone would go on these social networking sites and pretend to be a celebrity, but it’s even worse to lure a fan into meeting them. Ugh. People are just so sick sometimes. Thanks for posting this and keeping us updated, Alice.
People are unbelievable – what do you get out of posing as someone else? Taking advantage of the people who love the show and/or these guys is ridiculous. I know that Misha is on Facebook – as he’s said before and he’s hilarious.
What bothers me most is the threats to Danneel Harris. I mean I was a bit sad too when I heard that Jensen was engaged, cause who doesn’t have day dreams? But I was more happy for him. But to be so inside your own head that you would make threats? That’s just crazy.
Clarice – it makes me want to apologize to them too.
Thanks for posting this Alice.
I saw this clip earlier in the week and went onto clif’s twitter page … he doesn’t give away much but you get the feeling that it’s all got a bit crazier from the false fan meeting to Danneel recieving threats by email.
I just can’t believe that this stuff is happening – it’s mad. I just don’t understand why people would do this.
Clarice, Tigershire – if it helps i did apologise… i sent clif a message on twitter i just couldn’t help myself.
There’s an imposter on twitter called @sexyjensenlol who’s been quite aggressive apparently, I’m not sure who was fooled by that name (really?) but steer clear! see his/her exchange with clif! Also one of the people who’s been threatening Danneel.
Oh, my goodness, some more intolerable fan behaviour… Alice, thanks for pointing this out here on this site, I haven’t heard of the threats to Danneel Harris. This ignorance comes from not following what’s going on on other sites plus I don’t have twitter or facebook accounts, so I don’t really know about these things – and frankly I don’t want to be made aware of this kind of nutjobs all the time.
I’ve had my share of dangerous stalkers as a therapist, though, personality disorder, anyone?, and when I was part of that biz there was unpleasantness, as I told you about on another occasion.
I’m at work, so I can’t watch the video here, but will check it out when I’m home, so what I have to say might not be fitting here, as I lack some information (perhaps given in that video).
Seriously?
I’m not surprised that some people might pose as celebrities to bolster their ridiculously low self esteem (probably sexually frustrated wannabes, okay, I’m really furious now). But that people actually take more steps and approach a young woman with threats because she happens to be engaged to – let’s say Jensen Ackles, is downright pathetic and absolutely out of the question. And, unfortunately, it is precarious. In my head alarm bells go off when I read something like that, and I hope that the lady is well-protected.
It’s just so absurd that measures like that should be necessary. This saddens me. Don’t they know what this can do to a relationship? A person’s feeling of safety? Have we come to a state of mind today that respect has become only a empty shell of a word?
Forgive me, I may be out of line, that just drives me angry, and I’m totally stressed out right now.
Gullible people might fall for those impostors and might get hurt, physically and/or emotionally. The celebrities in question are offended for the simple reason of being celebrities and ‘well-loved’ by their fans (hello?), and, eventually, fans responsible for this will also be responsible of driving them away. Goodbye conventions etc. How long, do you think, will they tolerate this indecency ?
Thank you, level-minded folks, for being different. There is hope after all. Thankyou, Jas
People pretending to be them, and threatening their fiancees? Huh???? And now they need an online-bodyguard, too? That´s weird with crazy on top of it. Can´t imagine the pressure the four are going through. Crazy, crazy world.
Like so many of you, I don’t go on any social networking sites other than here and as this is a blog about the show, I’m not sure it qualifies.
No wonder Jensen (especially) Jared and Ms. Harris remain below radar as much as possible. It is scary to think that people who would stoop to the level of luring fools (yes, anyone who thinks they’re going to an actual meeting with either Jared or Jensen is a fool) as well as sending threats might actually act more agressively given the opportunity. People like that tend to make the opportunity so Ms. Harris might be quite right to be alarmed and it is likely she has additional protection.
Sad to say it is likely to affect a relationship, living in fear is never healthy.
If I were J&J and Ms. Harris, I would seriously reconsider ever come out to any fan events in the future, why would I want to when there is a chance the lunatic threatening me or my loved one is in the crowd. Very sad.
I agree with the tag line, “Demons I get, people are crazy.” I’m finding as I get older and see more and more, the less I like most people.
Elle2, would you please explain to me – I’m not sure I got your sentence ‘as this is a blog about the show, I’m not sure it qualifies’… Qualify whatfor? I’d like to understand.
I’m with you there – I still want to believe that people are essentially good and decent, but I have also seen and experienced to much to not have a hard time keeping to that ideal. I’m not ready yet to surrender to cynicism, but who knows…?
Love Jas
I’m a cynic and this behavior really doesn’t surprise. People are capable of so many awful things. And I’m afraid the Internet gives folks the false belief that they are anonymous. That they can’t be found by their actions. Well, guess what. It’s a federal crime in this country to threaten someone via any sort of communication. Yeah, they’re nutjobs and delusional but they’re also hurting people. I hope they find this person or persons and let them see how jail feels like.
Okay, I’m done with my angry rant. Personally, I’m thrilled that both guys have found love. And I hope their relationships are strong enough to get them through. I think they know there are a lot of folks like us who are rational sane fans. They wouldn’t have made that video if they didn’t believe that.
I had no idea things had gotten this bad. How sickening to think that human beings could be so disgusting. Actions like this must be hurting the 2 J’s and probably will impact the enthusiasm they have for their show altogether. And what a shame that will be. Why wouldn’t they be constantly worried about their fiances?
I certainly hope these maniacs are found and punished thoroughly. It makes me consider that Twitter is not a good thing happening at all. Too many crazies out there! Too bad this Twitter thing can be operated almost anonymously. There should be a way to identify a person’s identity if using it. If only!
This is the only site I post at, and outside of Bardicvoice and Gaelicspirit I stay away from sites that cause my stomach to turn. There are so many good folks on this blog. Thanks to all of you for making a safe haven here.
