'Coldplay' star Chris Martinand actress Dakota Johnson filed a restraining order against a woman who believes she is married to the rock star and is allegedly stalking the couple.
According to legal documents, obtained by The Blast, Martin claims a woman -- who we are choosing not to name -- is stalking him online and is loitering outside of his home trying to gain entrance. The musician believes the person's behavior is getting increasingly worse and could be dangerous.
In the filing, Martin is asking for protection for himself and his girlfriend/partner Dakota Johnson, along with his two children. The singer details several different run-ins with the woman, including several instances where she attempted to enter his Los Angeles home.
'Coldplay' Singer Describes Scary Details Of Alleged Stalking
"Mr. Christopher Martin seeks a civil restraining order against (the woman) to cease the continuous and incredibly distressing harassment from which he currently suffers. He is horrified and fearful that (the woman) is under the delusion that she and Mr. Martin are married and that she lives at his residence. Mr. Martin has never had any type of relationship (personal or professional) with her; he has never met nor spoken with her," it states.
Adding, "The harassment began in April 2022 via social media (including her public Facebook and Twitter accounts) and in recent months has increased in number and severity of the harassment itself. Her conduct has instilled great fear for his safety and for those with whom he resides because of the hundreds (if not more) of social media postings which contents prove by well over a preponderance of the evidence (the woman's) emotional instability, delusions, and now actions she is taking, to continue to harass and place both Mr. Martin and his partner, Ms. Dakota Johnson, in danger."
Woman Claims Dakota Johnson Is Using 'Black Magic' Against Her
At one point, the woman even posted on social media that Dakota is blackmailing her and using "black magic" to physically harm her.
The 'Coldplay' star notes that he lives in a secluded area of L.A. where someone needs to pass through a locked security gate to gain entrance. Plus, he has video monitoring of the surrounding area. Last week, Maritn observed the woman on his video system ringing his doorbell.
A few days later, he describes "private security personnel observed (the woman) driving past Mr. Martin's residence and stopping her vehicle up the street. At the same time, Ms. Johnson was in the process of driving from the residence. As security personnel noticed the front gate of the residence gate opening, he quickly informed Ms. Johnson of her whereabouts. Thereafter, Ms. Johnson immediately returned to inside the residence because she was extremely fearful for her personal safety."
Chris Martin's Alleged Stalker Ordered To Stay 100 Yards Away From Him, Dakota Johnson
He concludes, "It is abundantly clear that (the woman) is delusional by creating in her mind an elaborate and fictitious history of a relationship with Mr. Martin, living in Mr. Martin's residence, and being married to him. She now is acting upon her delusions by attempting to enter Mr. Martin's private property as well as driving by his residence at all hours of the day and night to personally contact Mr. Martin by any means possible. The evidence is clear that she will likely continue to harass Mr. Martin further now that Ms. Brown is aware of the location of Mr. Martin's residence. Further, she has gone to great lengths to contact Mr. Martin, including driving from her resident state of Texas to see him. Therefore, the above-mentioned facts show clear and convincing evidence that Ms. Brown will not stop her continued harassment against Mr. Martin and Ms. Johnson unless the Court intervenes by issuing a civil restraining order against her."
In the end, a judge ordered the woman to stay 100 yards away from them, including Martin's home and Dakota's vehicle.
