Dreaded Fan-beast of the Night: the Ware-Ackles
(First-time poster. Apologies if I mess up. I checked the wiki and past posts, but didn’t see this mentioned anywhere; it seemed too beautifully wanky to pass up.)


Sockpuppet wank ahoy, with a tasty side of Future Restraining Order! This was brought up a while ago by my friend squee. *blows kisses*

I have a theory that Jensen Ackles beams high-power hypnosis rays which turn his fans into deranged lunatics. Today’s crazy Ackles fan: fencha/Chriss/gigi/jay/bee/stephanie ware ackles - 1970/trishortiz/benji. (Please note: I cannot verify the age of this person. If somebody knows for sure that she is a minor, let me know ASAP and I’ll take this down.)

Try typing “jensen ackles stephanie ware” into your favorite search engine and a metric ton of hits pop up. That’s because somebody has been a busy, busy little whackjob, and has been going around to various message boards claiming that Jensen Ackles is married to an actress named Stephanie Ware. This person’s identity shifts between a fan, Stephanie Ware herself, Stephanie Ware’s cousin, and Stephanie Ware’s step-daughter

It’s hard to say when and where exactly this started – indications point to Ackles’ IMDB message boards, but I’m not a member over there. If an IMDB member finds anything of interest on the boards, please do let me know. (Also according to IMDB, there IS an actress named Stephanie Ware. She’s got one movie to her name and no personal info; please bear in mind that IMDB is fan-edited.)


The earliest post I could find is on TV Addict back in January.

Despite getting no response either affirmative or negative, “jay” posted again 2 days later:

“lindsey” begged for reason. Oh, lindsey. It’s hopeless, honey.

Please everyone listen to me! NO Jensen is not married and is not dating someone named Stephanie Ware. This all started because some crazy fan came on imdb.com and stared spreading rumors that she was his step-daughter and then she was banned. She later came back on impersonating the REAL Stephanie and saying that she was married to him. If you don’t believe me you can log onto imdb.com look up Jensen’s page and read threads that deal with him being married. This is a rumor and nothing more. I know some of his friends and they can vouch that he isn’t married.

As far as I know that is the real stephanie ware ackles on that imdb, and jensen ackles is married, until he confirms and says he isn’t that when this kind of thing will stop… So don’t bop up in here like we want to hear what you have to say. Not trying to be rude but i’m just telling you like it is.. I have not seen any of her posts says she’s married to him all I see is her name as stephanie ware ackles and I think they are married because her names wouldn’t be on www.supernaturalforums.com, and if jensen didn’t say he’s not married then why are you saying it? You don’t know anything about jensen persnal life, you’re only a fan and nothing more. Don’t talk like you know that man because you don’t , so stop acting like you do. How in the world you going to jump into conclusions like that? Have you asked him were he married or not married. I didn’t think so, because you’re a ordinary fan just like the rest of us, all in the speculation and don’t know nothing.



9 months ago, “fencha” on Yahoo! Answers asked:

Is jensen ackles married to stephanie ware?

She only got two responses, one named Chriss who confirmed the rumor and an innocent, puzzled bystander. RUN, bystander! Save yourself.

3 months ago, fencha tried again, this time claiming to be Stephanie Ware’s cousin.

Jensen ackles and stephanie ware are married,are you people insane we should all know that they are?

There’s a bit more response to this one, mostly along the lines of “wtf are you smoking?” fencha, naturally, took offense.

his girlfriend didnot attend anything because guess what he doesn't have one, so what are yu talking about? If jensen was cheating on my cousin stephanie ware she would defintely know so again, are you crazy?



Whee! Next stop: the CW forums, about 8 months ago, where “gigi” responded to fan speculation about Ackles’ dating life:

You know what , I haven't heard that on no interview that jensen said he plays the field, dating around with different women, yikes!! You are so off topic and so not telling the truth about that at all. I say he is married rather you like it or not. Maybe he is going to confirm it as well on the jimmy kimmel show, I guess we have to wait and see.

She also hated on the women Ackles has (actually) dated, calling them “ugly asses.” Nice. When asked why she thinks Ackles is married, “gigi” snapped back with some truly astonishing logic:

That's a easy question, duh!! well for one, she is officially all over jensen's stuff. And her name always appear on jensen things. did that satisfy your question? Or should I translate it in a foreign language for you? Anybody that has eyes that can see, actually knows that jensen is married to stephanie ware. So stop all these false rumors about him dating someone else or some celeb or whatever. Rumors like these make me very sick and annoyed.

Anything on the Internet is true; therefore, by putting it on the Internet, it will be made true! Somewhere, Jensen Ackles is reading this and going, “Well, gosh, I musta got hitched during a blackout back when I had that nasty coke habit!”



The REAL treasure trove, though, is Ackles' page on Whosdatedwho.com. There are multiple sockpuppets, all mysteriously with the same grammar (including fencha, from Yahoo! Answers).

Jensen is married to stephanie ware, so stop hating. everybody knows they are married. And besides, you don`t know stephanie ware at least not the real one, you probably know the fake stephanie ware, that`s about it.

This is Fencha, I am 18 years old and I am dating Jared Padelecki and he turns 25 in July who has broken off his relationship with Sandra McCoy for me. Jensen Ackles is married to my cousin Stephanie Ware.

O.O Hey, now! Don’t be dragging poor Jared into this! He’s been relatively wankfree so far.

Other fun tidbits:

i only put her profile up here is because a reliable source told me that they are in fact married,it`s not my fault there together and it`s not ugly danneel harris and him, are you sure that`s a real woman,because she`s walking around here looking like another ciara in this joint.....eww, i doubt he would stoop that low to date another man,yikes....stephanie ware ackles watch out, there`s a man name danneel or daniel harris,trying to steal your man jensen away from ya...hold`em cloes and duck and dodge and run....!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yummy, more misogyny, with just a dash of homophobia to boot.

My favorite, though, is “stephanie ware ackles – 1970,” who at first claims to be married to Ackles:

What is your problem? I don`t know what is the big deal about jensen and I, we are in fact together just to let you know. I am not bragging on whatever you people are saying I am doing, just let us be. Don`t worry about what`s going on in our personal life, worry about your own.

Who is joanna? I hope you are not talking about that playboy model who have a crush on jensen but she never dated him. We do not know her personally... maybe cyberly!!!

(‘Cyberly’?) (Also, ‘ware ackles’, makes me think of werewolves. Run! It’s the Ware Ackles!)

But THEN she turned around to claim that she’s actually Stephanie Ware, for real! And she’s hiring a private detective to investigate these crazy fan shenanigans! Really! Despite the fact that she didn’t even change her username from the previous message.

Hello its me here to say this is the real stephanie ware and no I am not married to Jensen Ackles I had a PI investigate who was saying all this and it turns out to be a girl on yahoo answers named FENCHA she has been preteding to be me to start rumors because she is a board little girl with a very unhappy live .she lives in the uk and she is GOTH GIRL on my space.

Ooooookay then.

I'm sure this is just the tip of the iceberg. There are literally dozens of other hits that came up when I did a search. 


ETA: via benitle  , apparently she also makes house calls.

ETA2: Update 5/18/08, via rachel_martin  . She's still at it, on the Fanbolt forums. This time she goes by StephyAcklesFan, and claims that the TV show Entertainment Tonight has made an exclusive report about...well:

The supernatural star is fighting back on ''dating rumors'' with ''Ten inch hero co-star Danneel harris for accusing him of dating her and frequently spreading malicious untrue stories about him on one of the most popularest internet webs known as [google,yahoo, search engine and many more].

English...failing. Various other members tell her to knock it off - she persists:

The source is jensen ackles, there is no reason to lie about this stupid crap. I have a life too and my life is working constantly for jensen and not to mention i am also a friend as well as a worker of jensens.

And is summarily banned from Fanbolts.

ETA3: Update 7/15/08, via sasha_davidovna :

"Someone claiming to be "animalguy" turned up here with the following statement:

I hope that Jensen Ackles and his wife stephanie ware stays together and live in harmony. He gave an recent interview again about her on national tv and on magazine books. Here it is:http://soy.bluebbva.com/2007/12/jens en-ackles-un-t

''other data to know him thoroughly:

He is one who married with stephanie ware of september 6 of 2006

love the interview, i'm so happy because he isn't dating that hussy.

The "interview," incidentally, is nothing of the kind."

ETA4: Update 4/30/09, via derryderrydown. New tactic of the Ware-Ackles is to accuse fans of being current Ackles gf Danneel Harris. In this case, missyjack.
