being named the Erin Brockovich of stalking by Vice in an article which has since gone viral, victims began contacting Claire and seeking help in obtaining their own restraining orders and requesting Claire to accompany them as a human shield in court. Claire and friend, NCIS actress Pauley Perrette as well as two other victims, Katherine Thackston and Peggy Farell, were the subject of a 2-hour 48 hours special titled "Stalked", featuring her story. Kris Mohandie reviewed footage of Massler in the special and determined that he was in fact a dangerous individual. Massler was then admitted to a psychiatric facility where just days later he escaped and was arrested by the Secret Service. Shortly after his release, he returned to Los Angeles to further stalk Claire. After Massler notified her about his intention to kidnap her, Claire set up an operation and had security catch him at the Los Angeles Comic Convention. Massler was convicted of felony max stalking in 2018 and was later released from jail early 2020. Claire has been an outspoken advocate for stalking victims, and on her second appearance on the Dr. Oz Show, shortly before Massler's release, explained it was a result of controversial Proposition 57 which gave Massler early release having only served two years of his four-year sentence. Claire has spoken at USC, Southwestern Law School, and with the Anti-Defamation League for University of California, Irvine School of Law about the intersection of cyberstalking, internet hate speech and freedom of speech. Personal life Claire is married to prominent entertainment attorney and DJ Henry Self.
