Gary Allan to face accused 4-year stalker in court Wed.

by Brad on May.22, 2009, under Country music, Exclusives

Wow, Gary Allan (Watching Airplanes) has had more than his share of intensity in his personal life, right?

Now comes word that Gary has had an aggressive stalker for some four years. And he’ll face her in a courtroom for the first time Wednesday in Sumner County.

Police confirm a Katherine Walker was arrested after a May 2 incident at Allan’s Hendersonville home. Authorities wouldn’t release any details, saying it was an active investigation.

But I’m told there’s going to be surveillance video that shows the suspect acting in violent and bizarre ways.

Gary’s camp has declined comment, other than to confirm he will be in the courtroom Wednesday.

    I live in Hendersonville, I heard she did something to Allan’s girlfriend. I think she’d been stalking him for a while like goin by his house and all that but apparently his girlfriend was at the house that day and she went nuts on her.

  • Diana

    Thank God they are getting Kate off the streets. They should have done something about her years ago. Maybe then Kate would not have caused all the crazy BS that she has caused. I have had personal experience with this crazy woman. She targeted me and many of my friends for a number of years. Its about time she got what was coming to her.

  • Chandler

    I was curious how old this woman is

  • YOLANDA

    IT’S WOMEN (AND MEN) LIKE HER, THAT RUIN AN ARTIST. I HOPE THEY LOCK HER BUTT UP!

  • Manda

    I agree this is sad. How do all you know her? Was she that open about the fact that she stalked him? She must have mental problems. I feel sorry for him, his kids and his girlfriend. He has been through enough, I’m happy to hear he’s found someone in his life again but sad to hear a psycho is making them crazy!

  • Shea

    It’s about time. we all know she is crazy, and have had our on run ins with Kate. Lets hope the law can fix this problem.

  • YOLANDA

    bye bye kate!!!!!!!!

  • soccerman

    I live in Hendersonville. She actually broke a window in his house, broke his car mirrors, and damaged the windshield wipers on his truck. She may have done more. She’s a big woman, like 6 ft something.

  • YOLANDA

    i would sit in jail next to her. just to kick the everlovin snot out of her for terrorizing him and his family. yeah, i am like that……….

  • TnPoultryMan

    i’ll put money on not a Nair one of you know him or her just a bunch of wanna bes on the internet

  • YOLANDA

    hey poultry……. i know 3 of us here know her personally. know more about her than we care to. what are you, her boyfriend>?? comments like that, make you look like an idiot.

  • YOLANDA

    ps i am sure if you ask the fanclub members what we went thru with her, ALL of the older members will be happy to tell you.

  • Diana

    Yes I was unfortunate enough to have known her personally. She even tried to give me a lap dance. There is not enough alcohol in Tennessee to make me forget that. Its a good thing Crazy isn’t contagious.

  • Chandler

    If you mean me I never said I knew Gary personally, I don’t but I do know someone who lives on his street near him and she said this woman is crazy… threatened Gary and his girlfriend

  • Crazly Canadian

    Diana and Yolanda Girls! Oh ya do we know that flippin’ crazy Kate or what? PoultryMan I think you are related to her and you are just as crazy I think defending a nut bar like her!!!!!!! Diana you are so right about the not enough alcohol I had totally forgot about that! Nice to see you are out defending Gary, us old fan club girls need to stick together! She is a definite whack job!

  • soccerman

    Chandler, who do you know that lives on his street?

  • Adelle

    What the! I didn’t know he had a “stalker” till it was on Channel 2 news this morning. Dang, I love the guy just as much as the next woman but give him and his family a break already. Hey Kate!
    Act like a lady you idiot and stay out of peoples lives. Had I known, I would have stalked you and seen how you liked it!
    To Gary and his Family, I send my apologizes on behalf of all the inconsiderate people in the world.
    Bless you with all your struggles.

  • Hmm

    Apprently you’re right Chandler, they didn’t specifically call her his friend, but according to the Tennessean there was a car belonging to another woman at his home and that’s what set her off. She tried to say Gary was stalking her… what a nut

  • Shea

    Mr. Poultry man or what ever your name is…why don’t you take your s”*** some place else. I too knew her and she is a sick lady. You need to know what you are talking about before you post. I feel for you guys who truly felt the rath of Kate. Some more personal than others…she hurt a lot of people. Hang in there girls hopfully this will get her some help. For how long I don’t know.

  • AmyD

    Unfortuntetly, some of us older Gary fans have in fact ran into Kate the psycho at concerts or on his message boards….We have not had pleasant encounters with her and know what kind of damage she is capable of. This woman has been at it for years and obviously needs some serious help!

  • RubyRed3545

    I had a run in with her at Louisville, KY riverfront show. She was booing Gary and screaming other things to him, so how can she go on TV and say she was there for him for support and she was a big fan? And Gary sending her emails? Most of Gary’s fans know he doesn’t even get on computers, he has said that in a few interviews.
    When she was booing him at the KY concert, I turned and said a few choice words to her in hopes she would leave since it was ruining mine and everyone else’s time at the concert.
    Then a band member pointed her out to security and then she took off. So for her to say he was stalking her, that makes me laugh!

  • gnsmom

    OMG! I knew it was Kate!!! She is crazy! At a Gary concert a few years ago she told me she had a thing going on with Jake Kelly! Then she said she was getting ready to move to Hendersonville. She was going to sneak her kids out of the state without her soon to be ex-husband knowing. Come to think of it that was about 4 years ago at Cattle Annie’s. She made a huge batch of fudge for Gary and the band.

  • jen

    Is his girlfriend still the model from the Watching Airplanes video?

  • JustMe

    Just when you think it’s safe to venture outside up pops the nut job. Again. I feel sorry for her kids and her family (unless of course they are like her lol) and I fear for the safety of Gary, his kids, his family and band memebers.

    “Gary stalked me for two years.” Um, hello…. wouldn’t you welcome that? LOL Find a padded room and take a nap for a few years would ya.

  • Rena

    No his girlfriend is not the girl from that video, I think he did date her for a little bit though. I’ve seen his girlfriend, not her

  • Ashley

    You must be talking about Justina Crosslin. She was the model in that video. From what I’ve heard they broke up a long time ago. Don’t know who the new girlfriend is, but I feel sorry for her that she’s having to go through this. It must be very difficult. Love You Gary! Your fans will always be on your side.

  • Tracy

    This is insane!!!!! I hope they lock her up and throw away the key!!! Gary is my ALL TIME fav artist and he has had such a hard go of things the last 5 years. He wants to be happy and deserves to be, get her off the streets away from him and tell her to get her head out of the freaking clouds!!!!!

  • Tracy

    Just to let Gary know…WE ALL LOVE YOU HERE IN VIRGINIA and you have our 100% support and are praying for you BABY BLUES!!!!!

  • Norina

    I beleive EVERYONE deserves privacy even those that we idolize. I also think that Kate is a sad, lonely woman who needs help. I used to talk to Kate years ago and I just hope that her daughters dont grow up to follow her mums footsteps… Gary we love you here in AUstralia and we are thinking of you.

  • sharon

    hey gary we thinking of you i hope everything went ok we love ya

  • Juju

    wow! i just watched the news video of the court appearance by Gary & Kate-yikes! i can’t believe Gary has been so tolerant of her behavior/stalking for the past 3-4 years…& to think she has children-very scary. let’s hope she gets help & moves on, she’s very sick.

  • Bandit

    I also am one of the fan club members that is too familiar with what Kate was up to a few years back. She did nothing but cause trouble on his website board with her ranting, lies, name calling, etc. She really needs help and we all new it then. She’s been removed from the board many times but kept coming back as someone else.
    Best wishes to Gary in getting through this crap!

  • jenny

    I heard he was dating a girl names OLIVIA. She is on myspace and she said she is his girlfriend and that she is going to be living with him in nashville soon. She writes to a friend of mine and tells her all about her relationship with Gary. I think she lives in California..Has anyone heard this too? Maybe shes cuckoo?? I dont know. is that too private to post?

  • Bucky

    You all sound a little bit off to me, except for the posts that just say we wish Gary the best :l

  • melissa

    I go a ways back on the Gary boards too but haven’t posted there in years. In part because of all the hatred and name-calling, but not specifically from Kate - and in part just the plain idiocy there. She was never once mean to me but she DID drink way too much and obviously (I only witnessed it once - she was thrown out of a City Hall show Gary did and when we exchanged e-mails the next day she was incredibly remorseful and “normal” about it) this spins her out of control. I wish I had a way to get in touch with her now. Her e-mail bounced back to me long ago. In a weird way I really feel for her. :( She was there for me through some times when I needed it. Though from what I know, I do feel for Gary more. Kate if you’re reading this, e-mail me if you remember it. I’m not posting it here.

    Anyway, for whatever reason, I honestly don’t remember now, but Kate confided in me about a lot of things and though she is CLEARLY delusional in some respects - the side of things I heard is how much certain girls on the board hurt HER. And at the time the messages were there on the site to prove it (there and the “I Shouldn’t Talk When I Drink” Group that might be a tip-off of things to come!). I don’t think she made up the story about “Gary” sending her a message to meet up at a bar downtown. I think someone, maybe someone with a vendetta against her, was impersonating Gary with the intent of setting Kate off. It makes me sad that the possibility of that being the case apparently hasn’t even crossed anyone’s mind enough to investigate in the least. And gnsmom, how can you be so sure she didn’t date Jake??

    She really does have a very sweet side, and she cares so much about those girls of hers. I hope they are OK and I hope she gets the help she needs. I really just hope this all gets resolved in the best way possible for everyone involved. -Melissa

  • melissa

    …unfortunately this probably isn’t going to help get meet and greets re-instated anytime soon!

  • Sarah

    No his girlfriend already lives in Nashville and her name is not Olivia. I know her name but no way am I posting it. She’s gets her nails done in Hendersonville TN and he has came in with her before

  • Soul Miners Daughter

    Drama… drama… drama. Something scarey about fans that can’t recognize the boundaries and feel they need to get involved in a performers life… on whatever level. Creepy.

  • Tracy

    I’m pretty sure his girlfriend’s name is Sonya. I think they are even expecting a baby sometime soon.
