Amie Harwick: A Therapist's Life Cut Short by Ex
25 May
Summary
- Drew Carey publicly denounced Spencer Pratt as a 'serial scammer'.
- Amie Harwick, Drew Carey's ex-fiancée, was murdered by her ex-boyfriend.
- Her ex-boyfriend was convicted and sentenced to life in prison.
Drew Carey has recently drawn attention for his strong criticism of Spencer Pratt's mayoral aspirations for Los Angeles. The Price is Right host publicly labeled Pratt a "serial scammer" on social media, advising LA voters against supporting him.
This commentary has resurfaced interest in Carey's personal life, notably his former engagement to Amie Harwick. Harwick was a notable Hollywood marriage and family therapist, known for her book "The New Sex Bible for Women" and frequent media appearances.
Harwick's life was tragically cut short in February 2020 when her ex-boyfriend, Gareth Pursehouse, broke into her home. According to reports, Pursehouse strangled her and fatally threw her from her third-floor balcony.
Pursehouse had a history of domestic abuse with Harwick, leading her to file restraining orders against him in 2011 and 2012. Despite these fears, the orders were not active at the time of her murder. He was convicted of first-degree murder and burglary in September 2023 and sentenced to life imprisonment without parole.
