[Music] this is dr. Amy Harlech licensed marriage & Family Therapist she would be
00:00:05
a therapist by day I just video it's gonna be all about what is a sex therapist and then go-go dancer at night
00:00:11
and I thought that was so cool hey this is Amy Nicole and welcome to my fit to rock workout video you know one
00:00:18
day she's doing a performance breathing fire the next day she's lecturing at Pepperdine so many layers to her I was
00:00:31
aware that she had a stalker what did she tell you about Gareth Purcell she was afraid of him from the first
00:00:40
time she told me about him this is what she wrote it made 2011 there were multiple arguments in which Gareth
00:00:49
herself choked me suffocated me push me against walls kidding me the violence she describes is very severe maybe you
00:00:59
decided to stay away from somebody that wasn't healthy for you two years after they stopped dating he had apparently
00:01:06
broken into her house she called me she's like I think he broke into my house and stole my photo albums and my
00:01:11
computers something wrong on my computer can you come look at it it had been wiped she believed it was him she
00:01:16
couldn't prove it she didn't have cameras occasionally she would get comments on Instagram from fake accounts
00:01:21
and she was fairly certain of who it was I think would happen and like there she'd be worried for a couple days and
00:01:27
then like you know kind of like yeah but then like then it would be okay and then
00:01:32
like you know we wouldn't talk about it I think when she met drew have you ever had that rush of excitement when you
00:01:38
meet somebody new she was finally starting to see okay I want I want to settle down with a normal guy wasn't Amy
00:01:45
actually engaged to Drew Carey oh yeah Amy Andrew got engaged was she sad when the relationship ended with Drew Carey
00:01:52
yeah you know so it didn't work out but they were still friends they were still amicable video today is on how to
00:01:59
survive the break-up after that first 30 days she never looked back she always was going forward tell me about the
00:02:05
events of January 16th she texts me and she said something really weird happened
00:02:11
you told me that she'd gone to this Awards Show she wanted to just take some photos on
00:02:15
the red carpet and just mingle and meet people and and it was probably ten minutes into that that Gareth um saw her
00:02:22
she's like I saw this photographer I was like oh crap it's it's Gareth he immediately freaked out yelling at her
00:02:32
and putting his head in his lap he was kind of rocking he's like I've lost everything because of you and all these
00:02:37
kind of things you could tell she was in fear she told me that she was going on Amazon to order like mace she wanted to
00:02:45
have mace in each room and I know that she followed everything that she would have advised a client the nature of
00:02:54
stalking is such that they can't stop themselves from the compulsion to pursue [Music]
00:03:06
my first thought was just this can't be true how could this happen to Amy [Music]
