Bob was dating Alice. Bob broke it off. As it turns out, Alice is Not Good with Rejection... but she is good with knives. If Alice is playing this trope, you can expect her to express her disappointment in any level from mild harassment all the way to Stalker with a Crush. She may even become his antagonist because Love Makes You Evil (and please note that this trope is not Always Female). Oh and God help anyone Bob dates after Alice. They will suffer. Sometimes Bob will be targeted as well; sometimes Alice decides leaving him unscathed will hurt more. Alice can even be sympathetic and/or justified in her actions. For example, if Bob cheated on her and then blamed the end of the relationship on her, "psycho" is in the eye of the beholder. Bob might even exploit this trope for sympathy, dismissing her valid criticisms of their relationship as the plaints of some witch who just wants to ruin his life. This trope applies only to situations where Alice becomes Bob's enemy because they broke up. We also have tropes for situations where Bob knew Alice was evil when they started dating; Alice turned out to be a psycho within the relationship; and Alice was turned into a psycho out of the blue in order to kill off the relationship. See also Yandere and Woman Scorned. Overlaps with Attempted Homewrecker if the Psycho's ex has found someone else. Contrast, Fair-Weather Ex, who want to get together with their ex out of convenience rather than feelings. Not to be confused with the television series Crazy Ex-Girlfriend or the movie of this premise My Super Ex-Girlfriend. |

In Zoey 101, we have Chase's short-lived girlfriend, Rebecca. Admittedly, she was psycho while she and Chase were still dating; she demanded Zoey no longer have any contact with Chase, and that Chase stop being friends with Zoey. It was the reason they broke up. Rebecca, of course, took this to mean Zoey was the reason they broke up, and in a later episode ends up blackmailing her into doing all sorts of embarrassing things. | |

Manga Soprano: Hidemi was determined to have Alto all to herself, even when he dumped her. When she found out he was married, she tried to kill his wife, not caring if she was pregnant. Yuka was already off her rocker while dating Alto, but when he broke up with her upon finding out the type of person she was, she refused to accept it and harassed him and any girl who made a move on him. When she found him dating Kanade, she went out of her way to harass her. |

Kimura, X-23's Ax-Crazy former handler, strongly comes across as a crazy stalker ex after Laura escapes her and the Facility. She's obsessed with getting Laura back, making several notable attempts to recapture her. When she finally does manage to retake her during Laura's stint on X-Force, she's actually licking her lips as she takes a chainsaw to Laura's arm for "being a bad girl." | |

Gwynn from Sluggy Freelance almost destroyed the world trying to get revenge on ex-boyfriend Riff. Don't forget Oasis going after any female seen speaking to Torg. Inanimate objects are not safe from her wrath if she sees them as rivals for Torg's love, either. Monica has gone far beyond Gwynn; refusing to understand that Riff broke up with her and using every Mind Screw trick to keep him too intimidated and confused to get away. Subverted in that she has a method to her madness, double-subverted in that her ulterior motive is also crazy. |

AoHaru Manga Library: Reina in this episode is known as one of the most vicious 'Gold Digger ex-girlfriend' characters Keiichi ever faced. After dumping Keiichi for trying to start a new business, she goes to marry a rich man who works for a company, and it turns out to be Keiichi's company, where he's the president and her husband's richer boss. Realizing this, she becomes obsessed with getting back to Keiichi, ignoring her own husband. She persistently stalks and harasses Keiichi with either messaging, telephone barrage, present-giving, or stalking... to the point that Keiichi has to call for the services of a detective and asks for the husband's cooperation out of concern for his mental health. Before she's busted, she also attempts to shred the evidence against her. And even when she's divorced, she still mounts one last attempt to get back to Keiichi, to the point that her parents have to grovel to apologize to Keiichi and disown her. | |

Arrow. Helena Bertinelli is described using this exact trope whenever she returns to Starling City on her Roaring Rampage of Revenge, given that she had a past relationship with Oliver Queen during his failed attempt to turn her towards a less murderous form of vigilantism. Her jealous streak towards anyone she thinks Oliver is currently in a relationship with does not help matters. | |

Shannon in Echo Chamber's Trope Of The Week series has an entire episode dedicated to her psycho ex nature. She stalks him, threatens other girls he's seen with (Dana in particular), and seems to believe they are still dating. But the kicker? She forced him to propose to her. Oh, and she regularly cheats on him. Hooray for the Double Standard. One could take the above spoiler as Tom proposes to her, but then gets cold feet and runs off. He takes Shannon back and now they have sex every so often. | |

Scott Pilgrim plays the trope with both genders: The main antagonists are the League of Ramona's Evil Exes, consisting of six guys and a girl, all of whom Scott must defeat in various bizarre fight scenes in order to continue dating his Love Interest. The leader of the League, Gideon Graves, seems to take rejection badly in particular, what with his whole plot to cryogenically freeze Ramona and all his other ex-girlfriends so that he can date them at his leisure later. There are eventual fights involving Scott's ex-girlfriends Knives and Envy. For fairness's sake, apparently, both Ramona and Scott handle these fights. |

Sense8: Joaquin is a gender-flipped example with some heavy emphasis on the psycho part. He's clearly not over Daniela leaving him, and even breaks into Lito's house just so he can ask what he did wrong. Daniela helpfully reminds him it may have had something to do with the physical abuse. He later blackmails her into getting back together with him and still treats her badly after she agrees. | |

Spooks. Quinn makes the mistake of confessing he's an MI5 agent to a woman he's seeing, who causes all kinds of problems when he tries to back out of the relationship (like printing his name and address on gay prostitute advertisement cards). Fortunately, Quinn has attracted the attention of a Blonde Republican Sex Kitten from the CIA, who has no qualms about abusing her power to scare off a rival. | |

Cracked: America's Best Girlfriend: America's Worst Reality Show revolves around a woman who, having not taken her break-up incredibly well, goes to the trouble of (poorly) staging an entire fake reality TV show to try and humiliate her ex's new girlfriend. It fails disastrously on multiple levels. This NSFW music video about a young woman who feels compelled to post pictures of her ex's dick on the internet — and elsewhere. This is something of a recurring theme for Rachel Bloom. Her best-known project, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, even references the name of the trope (although the titular character is emphatically not an example — see the "Live TV" folder on this page for why). |

He reappears in the finale, holding Grey, Jack's long-lost brother, hostage and tearing Cardiff apart for no apparent reason but to get Jack's attention. It turns out to be a subversion, as Grey is the one in charge and has a bomb fused to John's wrist, forcing him to obey when he'd rather be anywhere else. Torchwood: Miracle Day: His boyfriend Angelo's Catholic gayngst leads him to do terrible, terrible things. |

Damara Megido of Homestuck is an arguable example; learning that her (then) boyfriend, Rufioh, was secretly dating Horuss on the side drove her past the Despair Event Horizon, and Meenah's needling over the matter made her snap and go completely mad. In addition to killing Meenah and rendering Rufioh quadriplegic, it's heavily implied that she killed Horuss as well. It's implied that she still has lingering feelings for Rufioh, even though he doesn't really want to date her anymore. | |

Senna of Everworld is a Manipulative Bastard witch who is Christopher's ex-girlfriend, and is David's current girlfriend for most of the series, and his ex-girlfriend at the very end. Not really an example: while she is a sociopath and also an ex-girlfriend, the only reason she dated either of them was because she's The Vamp and they seemed useful to her plans. |

Jessie worked as a secretary at the bail bondsman's office Earl frequented. When Joy had an arrest warrant for failing to appear in traffic court 6 years later, Jessie puts herself through Training from Hell so she can get revenge on Joy for a) stealing Earl from her and b) knocking out her two front teeth. It doesn't work, and she gets her veneers knocked out too. | |

Leo from Echo. During Leo's route, Leo deprives Chase from talking to the rest of the group of friends and in the bad ending he kills Kudzu and causes Chase to lose his paws. Although this last part was a consequence of the mass hysteria happening. | |

Pathfinder has Calistria. If she notices you, hope she loses interest before you do something to offend her — praying won't help because she's a god. The deity of lust, trickery, and revenge, revered by elves for her changeable nature, fond of wasps due to their ability to sting people without harming themselves, and noted to be not simply vengeful but outright vindictive. Mephisto considers her too unreliable to ally with. | |

Iron Man: Tony broke up with Kathleen Dare because she was being too clingy. So, she shot and crippled him. When Tony is later assumed to have died from an illness, she shoots herself so she can join him in the afterlife. Whitney Frost aka Madame Masque is a decade spanning example. She had an intensely passionate relationship with Tony (in spite of her Facial Horror) that ended on a bitter note, so she has dedicated the rest of her life to making Tony miserable any time she can, but at the same time she very much wants to be with him again. She's basically like Doctor Doom... if he wanted to bone Mr. Fantastic. |

Jokingly played with in one That Mitchell and Webb Look sketch — Mitchell, recently an ex-boyfriend, doesn't seem particularly inclined towards this behaviour on his own, but everyone else suggests he handles the break-up in ways along this trope, ranging from writing bitch with weedkiller on her lawn, over killing her pet "in a weird way" to planting crack in her office desk (apparently a standard suggestion, as one of the others asks if the crack has already been mentioned when he joins the group). | |

While not in total control of her faculties, Queen Mirage of HappinessCharge Pretty Cure! is certainly this. Turns out she was a Shrine Maiden who fell in love with Blue 300 years ago. While he returned the feelings, he felt that, as a God, he shouldn't be attached to any one person and rejected her.

Ironically, he recruits Ilia, a girl who he knows was in love with Blake, for help under the assumption that Ilia would also want to hurt Blake. Instead, it doesn't take much to talk Ilia into acting as The Mole. | |

El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera: The Aves women are a family of this trope, all with a Rivera man as the ex they're insane over, fueling their vendetta towards the family. Even though they didn't officially date in the series, Zoe loves Manny after he defeated her and would love to get his best friend Frida out of the way. She still torments him as Black Cuervo, probably because he gave her the boot so harshly after finding out she was manipulating him to hurt Frida. Zoe's mother, Carmelita AKA Voltura dated Manny's father, the hero White Panthera, when they were young adults. Word of God says she thought he was cheating on her, so she decided to cheat on him. Turns out, he wasn't cheating after all, and he dumped her after that. Zoe's grandmother and Carmelita's mom, Lady Gobbler (civilian name unknown) was left at the altar by Manny's grandfather, Puma Loco. The real salt in the wound is, he dumped her by running out of the church with the chief of police, Dora, on horseback, and left to marry her instead. It's no wonder she holds a grudge. According to Word of God the reason the Big Bad Sartana of the Dead is such a monster is because Puma Loco also left her at the altar. While she was pregnant. Don't ask how that works when she's a skeleton. |

Double Life SMP: A platonic variant. Pearl goes in this direction on Day 2 after being rejected by her soulmate, Scott, and abandoned by her only friend Martyn. She changes to her Red Life skin and frightens off other people with her tendency to remotely torture Scott by using powdered snow on herself via soulmate synchronization, and proceeds to become more unhinged with each passing day from the loneliness. She calms down a bit on Day 5 once the two team up again due to an Enemy Mine scenario, and it takes until the end of the series for Pearl to finally forgive Scott, after he allows her to win the series by taking himself out. | |

Goliath and Demona of Gargoyles, with emphasis on the "psycho". This is a case where feelings do still linger on both sides, but both characters recognize that they're now too different to ever be an item again (trying to kill each other almost every time you meet will do that to you).

In Star vs. the Forces of Evil, Star has a demonic ex-boyfriend, Tom. When she and Marco end up doing a Dance of Romance in "Blood Moon Ball", Tom starts Burning with Anger and tries to incinerate the Earthling. A storyboard for that episode showed him threatening to destroy the Earth if Star didn't go out with him. A second episode had him try to manipulate Star by getting a counselor to play on her fears, but a callout from Marco made him realize he'd gone too far. He decides to stop pursuing her after that. | |

Dungeon Crawler Carl: Psamathe, more often known as Samantha, is a Love Goddess who claims to be the goddess of unrequited love. Donut notes that she seems more like the goddess of crazy ex-girlfriends instead. She's constantly hitting on everyone, threatening to kill their mothers, and has many stories about her tawdry past where she had a whirlwind romance with a god or demon that ended with her screwing him over for some perceived slight. Her primary rivals are a demon harem who think she slept with their king, but actually she just lets them think that because she hates them and thinks it's funny that they're jealous. Of course, she also spent untold centuries in the Nothing, which is known for driving even the gods insane, so who knows what she was like before. Oh, and she's also reduced to possessing the decapitated head of a love doll, so she's Nigh-Invulnerable but otherwise mostly powerless. | |

Myra becomes this in the last season of Family Matters. After going out with Steve Urkel for several years, Steve breaks things off with her after he realizes he doesn't have the same feelings for her like he used to, and on top of that he discovers she had secretly installed mini-cameras in his glasses to track his movements, which thoroughly creeped him out. Myra didn't hand the rejection well, especially since shortly afterwards, Steve began going out with Laura, who she saw as her rival for Steve's affections. Some of her actions include giving Laura her watch as a "peace offering", and then telling the cops Laura stole it, or when Steve went off into space, she called NASA posing as his fiancée. It's all Played for Laughs. | |

Ray Palmer and his ex-wife, Jean Loring, in Identity Crisis (2004), where Jean comes up with a scheme to murder the loved ones of superheroes to trick Ray into taking her back. She starts with setting one of their friends on fire after inducing a fatal brain aneurysm. She claims she was originally only going to scare her, and only set the body on fire after she realized she was dead, but the fact that she brought a flamethrower with her at all raises questions about that plan. She gets committed to Arkham Asylum at the end. (Despite, er, not even living in the same state. Apparently, there are no other asylums in the DCU.) | |

The trope is a major part of The Unexplored Summon://Blood-Sign. Kyousuke knew that the goddess courting him didn't really value human life, but he also knew that she was genuinely compassionate (in her own weird god way) and determined to make the relationship work. So when she promised to never kill anybody again if he dated her, he believed her. Unfortunately, she couldn't keep that promise, and things spiralled from there. Now she goes around torturing random people to catch his attention. | |

Fears to Fathom: Cara to Noah in Carson House. After he broke up with her due to her refusal to stop using drugs, she bombards him with calls and texts despite him blocking her and getting into a new relationship. When she finds out where Noah is staying, she attempts to get back together with him, but quickly slides into threatening violence when he refuses and threatens to call the police. She attempts to kill him with a kitchen knife and also threatens to kill his new girlfriend Evelyn. She was heavily under the influence of meth and alcohol at the time, though it's implied she wasn't all that stable before that and the drugs just worsened her mental state. | |

Discussed in Questionable Content where Penelope expressed her dislike of the term, feeling it a cheap way of dismissing whatever actual problems the couple may have had. A downplayed example would be Angus's ex-girlfriend who we never actually meet but sounds like an unhinged Faye. Angus's flatmates threw a 'The witch is dead' party when they split up. |

On the less funny side, it's made clear that while both Adam and Ilia are competent terrorists, they are obsessed with Blake. Adam wants to punish Blake for leaving, while Ilia just wants her back but is willing to do terrible things to make that happen. After Adam is killed, Ilia quickly surrenders and does her best to help, since the alternative is getting eaten by a dragon. | |

Melissa in El Goonish Shive, is an annoying example... except that it's been revealed that her motives are a bit more complex than that. Not to mention that she is fully aware that her attempts to win over Justin are pointless and do nothing but make her come off as annoying and quite possibly psychotic, but can't seem to stop herself. Defied with Ashley, she is fully aware that if she talked to Susan about staying away from Tom she would come across as a biased "crazy ex". |

When Asumi notified Seichi about it, he revealed it was his ex-girlfriend whom he dumped after graduating college. However, when she tells him said ex was a tall woman, he calls his ex named Megumi and finds out Asumi's stalker wasn't her, but her younger sister Aya, who constantly asked him out after he dumped Megumi. My ex-girlfriend tried to get back together after I became rich: When Kenta decided to ignore Ayahi's messages for a week, she becomes increasingly desperate and needy for his reply to the point she starts dissing him and expressing hopes that his company will go under.

Lola Bunny on The Looney Tunes Show. Bugs Bunny meets her on a tennis court and after the first date, decides that she's not right for him afterwards at least partially due to her being a Stalker with a Crush on him, and Lola goes from being distraught about it to believing that she's still involved with Bugs to the point where she has Bugs (unwillingly) at the altar with her. Bugs is thankfully saved from the And Now You Must Marry Me situation she has put him in by her invocation of Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace on the grounds that she has decided that she loves Pepe le Pew. Then when Lola returned, the relationship was She Is Not My Girlfriend for a few episodes before Bugs admits she's his girlfriend, making Lola a psycho girlfriend. | |

Knots Landing: In Jill's case, it began while she and Gary were still a couple. In the Season Nine finale "The Perfect Crime", Jill tries to kill Valene by forcing her at gunpoint to take a bottle of sleeping pills. She survives and, after regaining consciousness in the Season Ten episode "Borderline", accuses Jill of attempting to kill her. However, Gary and pretty much everyone else (bar Pat and Frank) believe that she was only hallucinating, especially since Jill was seemingly in San Francisco that night. Gary, Mack, and Karen do not begin to suspect the truth until "Mrs. Peacock in the Library with the Lead Pipe" when they discover that Jill does not have VD in spite of the fact that she supposedly slept with David Lamb, who thought that he caught it from her. Jill, who drugged David, had used having sex with him in San Francisco as a major part of her alibi. After all of her lies were fully exposed, Jill's bound and gagged dead body is found in the boot of Gary's Jaguar in "Poor Jill" and he is charged with her murder in the following episode "Double Jeopardy". In "Guilty Until Proven Innocent", Mack, Karen, and Frank figure out that Jill had committed suicide by choking on her own vomit after tying up and gagging herself and locking herself in the boot as part of a sick, elaborate scheme to frame Gary for her murder. Danny's behaviour in this regard did not involve as much long-term planning as Jill's had done but he was no less dangerous. In the Season Twelve episode "God Will", Danny kidnaps Gary (who had recently gotten engaged to Valene) and drives him, bound and gagged in the backseat, to a nearby hill. After removing his gag, he pours alcohol down Gary's throat, having forced him to open his mouth by squeezing his broken arm (which Danny had broken with a baseball bat). His plan is to make it look as if Gary started drinking again and accidentally killed himself when he crashed the car. With Gary out of the way, Danny hoped to force Valene into resuming their marriage. Gary is badly hurt but manages to survive whereas Danny winds up dead in a pool in a vacant property in Seaview Circle by the end of the episode. Unlike Jill, however, he didn't kill himself. Neither Gary nor Valene are suspected, at least not seriously, of having killed him since they both had iron-clad alibis. Gary's is especially solid since he was crawling his way up the hill when Danny was killed. In Season Thirteen, Paige's ex-boyfriend Pierce does not handle their breakup well. He blames it on Paige's on-again/off-again lover Greg, though the true cause was his obsessive jealousy manifesting itself in his threatening behaviour towards Paige. He tries to shoot Greg in revenge but he ends up shooting Paige instead. She is temporarily paralysed when the bullet is lodged near her spine but her mobility is restored by surgery. Pierce then kidnaps Paige from the hospital and takes her to his boat. He continually refers to her as "Margaret," the name of his pregnant fiancée who drowned in a boating accident ten years earlier. She is rescued by Greg and Mack while Pierce is seemingly drowned after a struggle with the other two men. In the closing moments of the Season Thirteen finale "Little Girl Lost", he turns up alive and well when he surprises Paige with a knife in her car in the Sumner Group carpark. In the Season Fourteen premiere "Found and Lost", Paige is rescued by Alex Barth. When she visits Pierce in prison several days later, he tells her that he intended to kill her and then himself so that they could be together forever. |

Oz. Unit Manager Tim McManus forms a brief liaison with prison guard Claire Howell. When he tries to break off the relationship she assaults him in his office (to the delight of watching inmates), then charges him with sexual harassment when he tries to fire her. Howell's later actions definitely cast her in the role of a villain — she assaults (and in one case murders) inmates, as well as using them for her own sexual gratification whether they want it or not. | |

You would think that the CW show Crazy Ex-Girlfriend would be about this, but Rebecca Bunch, the main character, is actually a deconstruction of this trope: she has legitimate mental problems, including anxiety and depression and as of season 3, being diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, and so when she ran into her ex-boyfriend Josh Chan, he reminded her of a time when she was truly happy. So she quit her job and moved across the country. However, for the first half of the season, she lied to herself, saying that she did this not because of Josh, but because she "needed a change." The theme song tells it like it is: | |

The Sleeping Beauty Killer: Casey Carter was depicted as this by the prosecution, the media and her ex-boyfriend in his memoir, with many people believing that after her fiance Hunter Raleigh broke things off, Casey went berserk and fatally shot him, then tried to cover it up by drugging herself with roofies. Casey was portrayed as unstable with a violent temper and a tendency to drink too much. However, Casey herself insists both the "psycho" and "ex-girlfriend" parts are untrue, saying that while she has a temper she would never harm anyone and that Hunter didn't break up with her. Lots of people believe she's still in denial or just trying to gain sympathy. She's actually innocent. It's revealed that Casey's cousin Angela Hart is this to Hunter and unlike Casey, she's definitely a straight example. While she was open about having dated Hunter before he got involved with Casey, she downplayed it as a casual relationship that didn't last long. It turns out that Angela was actually desperately in love with Hunter, to the point she still obsessed over him even after getting a new boyfriend and grew increasingly resentful of his relationship with Casey, feeling that Casey didn't deserve him. This culminated in Angela drugging Casey at a gala in an attempt to 'prove' she wasn't worthy of Hunter; when this failed Angela snapped and killed Hunter. |

How I Met Your Mother: Parodied in "The Platinum Rule": at the end, Barney assumes Wendy the Waitress is this. She is actually taking their break-up really well, but he interprets her total maturity about the matter as a facade hiding a desire to murder him — for at least two years. It’s implied that he secretly realises she saw their split as amicable but pretends she is violently obsessed with him because he’d rather construct an elaborate fantasy than face the fact she could get over him so easily. Being as the show focuses heavily on dating, a number of straight examples show up, as do a number of women who never quite become girlfriends. A fun variation comes up when Lily starts following the girl Marshall's interested in, making Lily, by all rights, the crazy ex. In the end, Marshall concludes that Lily is one of the craziest people he's known. It's the episode they get back together. Special mention should also go to Jeanette Peterson, the last girl Ted is dating before meeting the Mother. After the break-up, she trashes Ted's apartment and throws a major part of the stuff in there out of the window - on fire! (Including the red cowboy boots and Barney's Playbook.) And Ted can't even get help from the cops, because Jeanette is a cop herself, and not above abusing this to her advantage... |

Frasier: Niles's ex-wife Maris probably qualifies, although more subtly: when she begs for him to come back to her, and he rejects her on the grounds that she has treated him like dirt all his life, she goes into a Tranquil Fury and proceeds to utterly screw Niles out of every cent he has with a team of amoral attornies, just for the sake of revenge (she was filthy rich already). Also Niles' second ex-wife Mel, who after feeling justifiably humiliated when Niles abandoned her to run off with Daphne Moon, exacted her pound of flesh by insisting he go through the motions of marriage with her until such time as she felt they should separate and divorce. Well, everyone said she was an expy of Maris... |

Cobra Kai: Tory Nichols joins Cobra Kai in season 2. She quickly makes a bad impression on Samantha LaRusso, and then shortly thereafter finds out out that Sam is Miguel's ex-girlfriend, prompting her to start dating Miguel to spite Sam. Thing is, Miguel isn't quite over Sam at all, and he cheats on Tory with Sam at Moon's party. Tory happens to see this, and rather than do the sensible thing and confront her boyfriend, she decides to make a public spectacle at school by assaulting a teacher, hijacking the PA system, and announcing an ass beating of Sam to the whole school for Miguel to watch, and resorts to using a deadly weapon on Sam when she's losing the fight. For this, she is expelled from school and placed on probation, and Miguel breaks up with her and goes back to Sam. Not only that, but thanks to buying fully into Kreese's teachings, Tory begins to see Miguel as the enemy between him returning to Sam and him choosing to join Eagle Fang, the dojo created by Johnny from students Kreese kicked out of Cobra Kai. | |
