Ivanka Trump Stalker Out on Bail, Still Planning to 'Win Her Over'

By PopEater Staff Posted Apr 5th 2010 07:25AM

A 27-year-old man accused of stalking Ivanka Trump was released on bail Friday, the New York Post reports. Justin Massler was arrested in Nevada on suspicion that he used the Internet to stalk the 'Celebrity Apprentice' star. Massler, who has been diagnosed with schizophrenia, was charged with stalking and harassment Thursday and freed on $10,000 bail. Jail hasn't dampened Massler's enthusiasm for Donald Trump's daughter -- the accused said Sunday night that he has a new plan to woo her.

"I've got a stalking charge, so that means I can't contact her. I won't, like, try to ever visit her directly," Massler told the New York Daily News. In an e-mail sent to infamous author Tucker Max -- who has never met Trump -- Massler added, "Obviously, right now she is probably not that into me since she filed these stalking charges and I'm in the doghouse with her, but later on I'm going to try to recover and then actually win her over."

"Talk me up, perhaps saying, 'Oh, yeah, he's a cool guy ... if he recovered from insanity he would be cool,'" Massler's e-mail to the 'I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell' writer continued.

At the time of his arrest in March, Massler's mother told the Reno Gazette-Journal that her son has a history of mental illness. "He never harmed anyone and hasn't done anything other than write articles on the Internet," she said. "He's like a 10-year-old who has a crush on a movie star."

Randee Massler now says, "He wrote nasty things and crossed the line."

She told the Post, "I can feel for Ivanka Trump and her family. If he caused her to be afraid, I'm very sorry for that."

The alleged stalker's father, Howard Massler, called his son "a real threat," explaining, "He's not cute, he's not fuzzy. He's a sick kid."

Massler has written rambling articles describing Trump's "intensely alluring beauty" and routinely equates the star to a goddess able to destroy her enemies. According to the AP, Massler described himself in one blog post as "a celebrity stalker who is obsessed with Ivanka Trump." That entry appears to have been deleted from his site.

Massler is also accused of sending messages to Ivanka Trump's husband, Jared Kushner, claiming he "has stolen everything from me" and saying that because of Kushner, "there is no sun in the sky, no stars in the wind."

In an e-mail sent to Kushner shortly before his wedding to Trump, Massner wrote: "I will specifically kill myself at Ivanka Trump jewelry."

Massler faces a misdemeanor charge of stalking -- and up to a year behind bars if convicted. The suspect will return to Nevada, where he will receive psychiatric treatment once a week before his next court hearing on May 18.

If a person is arrested for stalking another person, and upon release from jail they announce a plan to continue pursuing the victim, the state should seek a court order placing that person under the state's guardianship in a psychiatric facility if they are genuinely mentally ill. This protects not only the victim, but their family & friends from potential harm from this delusional stalker. Now, here is an opportunity for the government to get something right before it's too late for everyone involved.

No wonder the guy is crazy, though. Listen to his parents. Mom says he's a big, fuzzy, wuzzy teddy bear with the mind of a 10-year-old. Dad says this is a big ol' growed up man with Schizophrenia who is stalking someone he's obsessed with and even threatened to kill himself over her. Hell, who wouldn't have... uh, personal issues... with parents like that?

And as a little aside, am I the only one who thinks Mark McLoes & Jesse James could be brothers? That's enough to make any PARENT crazy!

Agree 100%. Even if their is no criminal act yet, he should be locked up in a mental facility under the grounds he is a danger to himself and others. Shouldn't be THAT difficult to corroborate at this stage with all those threatening e-mails. I'm surpirsed Trump and her husband haven't used their influence with the Manhattan DA. If I were the Donald and Kushner I would have a stronger security team around that little girl than the one around Obama.

Some sick men out there. These lonely basterds don;t know how to let go.

If he ever got close to her again, her security should be able to kill him on-site. Madonna had her people shoot a guy on her property. Didn't kill him, but did get his and the courts attention. Be glad Ivanka can pay for the best security. This guy should just 'disappear'. Do it.

So, if someone was stalking & threatening your
daughter you would be more worried about your hair?

By cgw

what moron let this guy out of jail? He has by his own admission said he will continue to go after her (in some way). Somone needs to give the judge a good kick in the pants.

Oh, I would shoot the bas-tard. My point is though the trumps are bums and leeches to society and get what they deserve and the duck has an awful hairdoo.... His daughter looks like a great sign flipper like her mom..

Jennifer move on already. He slept with Angie while he was married to you. Would you really want that cheater back in your life. Enough already. geezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

By gail

Ok family members step in and get your son help...stay on him so he doesn't do anything to harm anyone or possibly himself..hmmm
He needs treatment badly and watched continually, I realize that is a difficult thing to do, but you have warning of his illness......I feel badly that people are stalked.......I feel sad that this guy is living in a sick world in his mind and hope he gets the help he needs to feel released from the sick mind....

Your advise indicates you have limited knowledge of the legal rights of individuals with mental illness. Since he is an adult, they have no legal rights here other than to get an Order of Protection for themselves if they need it. Unless the court orders otherwise, this man also has a right to refuse to take his medicine. The states need to step up to the plate and put individuals in treatment facilities and group homes instead of putting them in jail.

Parents cannot get any help for their schizophrenic children. The adult children have 'rights' and the ability to help them were taken away in the 70's and they let all those people out of mental hospitals and saved millions of dollars for the government. Now, getting help is nearly impossible. He will have to harm someone first. Many schizophrenics are peaceful and harmless people right up to the moment that they aren't. There is not good monitoring or services to help them. Write a letter to your representative and show your concern. It might help.

Jennifer Anniston has moved on about Brad...People just won't let it go because they listen to the media , especially the tabloids who want this to go on so they can sell their papers and magazines.....She is doing well...She has plenty of money, she has plenty of friends and she can get a man cause she is very pretty and famous.....She just wants to move on, CAN YOU BLAME HER???

Should Brad Pitt go back to Jennifer Aniston? The question should be, Should Jennifer Aniston take back Brad Pitt? You make it sound like Brad has a choice. Either way the answer is still a HELL NO.

By KS

Brad loves his life. Dont see him running to Aniston. She is way tooo needy for Brad to put up with. So funny!

There are just two guys who will help you Ivanka: Smith & Wesson. But don't tell The Donald.

By Edward J Cox

This indvidual is delusional and needs more help. Don't release him on the public till these fanatsies are gone from his mind.

He looks like he's been kicked in the teeth a few times already. Donald needs to have him bundled onto a pacific island vacation..

If he went after my daugher he's be swimming with the fishes....

By John padrick murry
