El pasado 1 de mayo la artista de "Pulp fiction" presentó una demanda judicial contra Jack Jordan, de 37 años, quien desde 2005 le envió cartas declarándole su amor e intentó en varias ocasiones acercarse a ella. Incluso, llegó a dormir en un auto afuera de su casa, en el barrio de Greenwich Village.

Los mensajes solían ser bastante macabros, como el que aseguraba que quería vivir en una cueva con el cuerpo de Thurman momificado.

También llegó a chantajear a la familia de la actriz mediante correos electrónicos, en los que amenazaba con quitarse la vida si no lo dejaban verla.

Los cargos a los que se enfrenta Jordan, que tiene antecedentes psiquiátricos, alcanzan una pena entre 90 días y un año de prisión.

Durante el juicio ante la Corte Suprema de Nueva York la actriz declaró que su acosador provocó que estuviera "muy asustada" y que tenía "pánico" de salir de casa. Thurman aseguró que llegó incluso a temer por la vida de sus hijos Levon y Maya, de seis y nueve años de edad, respectivamente.

En otro de los mensajes señaló: "Si una voz te dice que mates a un niño, quizás deberías ignorarlo. ¿Quizás, quizás?".

Jordan explicó que sus acciones "han sido malinterpretadas" y que él sólo quería dar a la actriz "la oportunidad de conocerme" y darse a sí mismo "la oportunidad de conocerla a ella".

Señaló que él estaba predestinado a relacionarse con Thurman y a vivir para siempre feliz con ella y sus hijos.
