Thing is, she was also introverted OFF ice (or at least very reserved) at the time her popularity errupted. She visibly wanted to be left alone, but the more she expressed it, the more she failed.
I think it's the journalists who didn't leave her alone, although it seems that they've thankfully stopped once the Olympics hysteria had passed. I think the fans who wish to interact with her in person mostly just wish to give her flowers, get an autograph and say a few words to her after her performances. At any rate, in the interviews I've read with her and Tutberidze there were mentions of journalists who tried to sneak into the rink, followed her outside the rink, installed overhearing devices in her changing room, interviewed her neighbors in Ekaterinburg and, if I remember right, also invented interviews with her. I don't remember any complaints about the fans, though.Thing is, she was also introverted OFF ice (or at least very reserved) at the time her popularity errupted.

That's the only Julia's request we fans did not, do not and will not fulfil. Ever.
There are certainly extremes in journalism, but let's be real: general idea is, that they are representing and serving us, fans. You can be sure there are plenty of people who would have loved to hear what Julia said in the locker room, what she had on dinner or whom had she called.
I'm sure there were plenty of people like that during the Olympics, but I'm equally sure none of them were Yulia's fans. They could only be the sort of people who watched fs only during the Olympics. No real fs fan would wish to have any skater's privacy invaded. The yellow press doesn't represent or serve us, and they know it; that's why they stopped stooping to such tricks after the Olympics craze had died - their audience had lost their interest in the skaters by then. I've read nothing but indignation regarding unethical journalists' methods on any fs resource.
She looks so thin! :reye:(Right) Sunny: *smirks* *probably thinking about all the tyres she'll slash during the break*
In the video with a horse she says "somehow I understood at once that she is wonderful"
