Heather Thomas Leaves Hollywood After Stalker Threats

Heather Thomas, famous for her role in 'The Fall Guy,' revealed the harrowing experiences that led her to leave Hollywood in the '90s during a recent podcast interview. She shared that after the show's success, she faced relentless harassment from stalkers, often dealing with two new stalkers each week, which included receiving threatening items like bullets and funeral wreaths. Thomas recounted a particularly frightening incident where a man broke into her home, prompting her to shoot him with rock salt. She emphasized the lack of effective stalking laws at the time and the intense fear for her and her children's safety, which necessitated having a bodyguard at home. Despite this dark chapter, Thomas is now focused on motherhood and political activism, as she continues to support her son who aspires to enter the entertainment industry. Her decision to step back from the spotlight was also motivated by a desire to avoid being defined solely by her experiences with stalkers.
