Author, Filmmaker Ian Halperin Makes Public Appeal For Jackie Collins' Protection
The weirdness continues, and this time it involves a hot women, darkened SUV's and suspicious persons in mid-town Manhattan.
I got a rather panicked call from Ian Halperin yesterday. Ian, as you may remember, is the NYTimes best-selling author and filmmaker who did a documentary for his newly released book, Hollywood Undercover. Glosslip was invited to the film premiere of His "Highness Hollywood", which chronicled the chapters in the book. A portion of the movie focused on Halperin's undercover persona "His Highness" going into the Church of Scientology under the guise of checking it out for his "wealthy royal Israeli uncle." What Ian uncovered was racism, homophobia and a dangerous, secretive organization designed to make large sums of money from its followers.
Since the release of the book and now the film, Ian has been the target of harassment, including: a barrage of phone calls and hang ups, threatening messages to "keep his f*cking mouth shut" or something bad will happen, was almost hit by a car, his film premiere was sabotaged (which I witnessed) and now, he's got another strange incident to report:
"I received another ten hang-ups in the last two days, and while I was out on Saturday evening, well past midnight, I was approached by a beautiful, but mysterious woman who tried to pick me up. I was waiting for my friend who was in the drugstore at the time, when a huge Cadillac Suv pulled up along side me. She said, "Hey, you want to come hang out with me?" I told her I was waiting for my friend and heading home, but she persisted. "Awww, come on, lets go get a drink and have some fun." At this point I peaked into the darkened windows of the SUV and saw a man sitting back in the shadows, hiding his face. I slipped back and the young woman said, "Hey aren't you that undercover writer? I've seen you before, you make films right." This set off major red flags as I am NEVER recognized on the streets, especially since I usually am "undercover." I moved away from the car and by then my friend came out of the store. When I turned back around the SUV sped off."Continued on the next page
