QVC Host Lisa Robertson Lives in Fear of Stalkers, Reports Say
ABC News' Ben Krolowitz reports:
For so many of QVC's viewers, Lisa Robertson is the host with the most.

Police reportedly said that strapped to the man's chest were engagement and wedding rings.
In a statement to ABC News, Robertson said, in part: "… We enjoy the connection we have with our audience from being open and sharing our personal stories. Unfortunately, one of the downsides to this is that people can take these connections too far and cross personal boundaries."
