During Britney Spears’ heyday, she managed to win the heart of a Japanese man named Masahiko Shizawa. He fell madly in love with her and began sending her endless emails and letters. He also sent pictures of himself with messages saying “I’m chasing you”.

Once Spears was thoroughly creeped out, she attempted to file a restraining order. Shizawa came to the United States anyway and continued to stalk her in person. However, after an altercation with her security guards, he tried to sue her for emotional distress. You can imagine how that panned out.
