Mrs. Carter also had to get an anti-harassment order from the High Court and beefed up her security in response to UK resident Bassey Essien, who was sending the "Crazy in Love" singer threatening letters, including one that claims she is an imposter who killed the real Bey.(Photo: Photopress / Splash News)
