Jamison Bachman, the focus Netflix's 'Worst Roommate Ever,' grew up in Elkins Park and graduated from Cheltenham High School in 1974.
the series of the same title tells the story of Jamison Bachman. Or, as his Chestnut Hill roommate, Alex Miller, came to know him: Jed Creek — a name Bachman had used to respond to a fateful Craigslist ad that Miller had posted seeking a roomie. That exchange would serve as the beginning of an increasingly nightmarish string of events.
. “Later, Jed would laugh at me when I asked for him to pay the bills. When he laughed, at me, it was sinister. It was demeaning. It was patronizing, like I was stupid.” Another former roommate, Sonia Acevedo, lived with Bachman in her condo in Rockaway Beach, N.Y., and found he regularly behaved violently. Acevedo came to block herself in her room with a chair, worried that Bachman “could snap at any time,” she says in the series, and booby-trapped the door when she wasn’t home to see if he was entering her space.
