When Star Magazine finds out about their relationship, they dub her the Real Billie Jean in Michael Jackson's life, as many believe the song was written about her. By nurturing this fantasy come true, Theresa never learned to grow in other man-woman relationships leading to the development of an alter personality called Terri.
