She has been a vegetarian since 2005 (stating that what keeps her from becoming a vegan is her taste for cheese.) When she found out her character's pet on General Hospital was going to be a tarantula, she requested that the spider be killed off, due to Tamblyn's arachnophobia. She suggested that the spider could be replaced by a rat, the type of pet Tamblyn had at home.In February 2005, Tamblyn received vicious threats from a stalker. He pledged to "torture her for a million years" and "drill things into her kneecaps," among other acts of violence. Frightened, Tamblyn phoned the police. A restraining order was issued forbidding the man from coming within 100 yards of her.Tamblyn is an agnostic. She has also stated that she celebrates Hanukkah, although she is not Jewish.
