Apparently the suicide of stalker fan, Paula Goodspeed, in front of Paula Abdul‘s home was not the first attempt.

“What people don’t know is a few months prior I was in New York and she had attempted the same thing.� She [required resuscitation] apparently and they were able to… in-front of my house she was in the backseat of her car,” said Abdul.� “They took her to the hospital and she survived.”

And this obsession wasn’t new… Goodspeed had been obsessed with Abdul since early in her career.

“She has been a stalker/fan for 17 years,” said Abdul of Goodspeed.� “[But] it wasn’t until American Idol that she ever knew how to get to me.� Prior to that, it was always through a fan club.”

Abdul added she was not home when Goodspeed apparently committed suicide. “This time around I was fortunately at the Kodak Theater doing Hollywood Week for American Idol,” she said.� “The crew knew but waited until I was done taping [to tell me].� But I had some kind of feeling and premonition something was going on.”

For the record, Paula Goodspeed’s family persistently deny that she was stalking Abdul.
