Ep 36. Mother of Year Turned Stalker: Terrorizes Couple for Outbidding Her on Dream Home
- May 15, 2015
In a daytime exclusive, Dr. Phil sits down with Kathy Rowe, a former San Diego “Mother of the Year,” who pleaded guilty in November to stalking a young couple after they outbid her on her dream home. Kathy admits that for nearly a year, she engaged in a campaign to annoy and embarrass the couple — including flooding the couple’s house with junk mail, sending Valentine’s Day cards to female neighbors in the husband’s name and posting online ads arranging for men to show up at the home for sex. As part of the plea deal, several other felony and misdemeanor charges were dropped, and Kathy was sentenced to a year of electronic home monitoring and five years’ probation. Kathy takes Dr. Phil inside her world and reveals what she claims pushed her over the edge. How does she explain her actions? Does she think she went too far?
