Billy Joel is so worried about his daughter now that a dangerous stalker who terrorized her for months is in jail that he’s upped security around her, just to make her feel better about stepping out of her Manhattan apartment.

Over the weekend, word got out in the press that a woman posing as a man on social media stalked Alexa for months before she was arrested in January this year.

Now, word has it that her dad and good friend Paul McCartney have agreed that more security for her is in order.

“Delusion that they either have a relationship with the famous person,” Brad Garrett, ABC News consultant and former FBI agent, says of the woman’s motive in stalking Alexa.

“Or they desire one… You have to separate the vile, violent words to the ability of the person or even the motivation of the person to actually carry them out,” he says.
