billie Piper appeared in court against a woman named
Juliet Peters. Peters had given Piper and her family numerous
death threats. She also was charged for stalking. Piper won the
case and Peters was given psychiatric treatment. According to her
autobiography, Piper was reluctant about the court case, but was
pushed by her parents and her label. She also stated in the book
that this was why "The Tide Is High" wasn't released as a single,
writing "The court case succeeded in doing what I alone could
not: cutting the ties. Without it I might have been tempted back.
To quote a line from the epic Sopranos: 'Just when you think you
've got out... they drag you back in.'".
