Kelly Clarkson Files Restraining Order Against 'Large, Imposing' Man Who Showed Up In Semi-Truck

Kelly Clarkson is asking for protection from a man who she claims is "large and imposing" who showed up at her L.A. home in a giant semi-truck.

According to legal documents, obtained by The Blast, Clarkson says on Thanksgiving Day "a large, imposing man, approximately 6 feet, 3 inches tall, and over 250 lbs approached her driveway in a semi-truck (with no trailer), looking over her privacy gate, into her yard."

The singer is asking a Los Angeles judge to protect her two children, the house manager, and her nanny. She added, "All of these individuals either live with me or spend a significant amount of time at my home and outside of the home. In addition, all of these individuals spend a significant amount of time with me when I am at the office, on television and/or film sets, recording studios, and elsewhere."

Clarkson included a declaration from her security team, which outlines the exact details of encounters with the man.

The head of security says, "I have been in charge of (Kelly's) personal security since 2017. On or about November 24, 2022 (Thanksgiving),  This individual returned twice on that day, once in the semi-truck, and once on foot. He returned again on foot on December 3, 2022. On the last two visits to the property, this individual spoke to house staff and advised them that he was there for Kelly and that she had told him to meet him there. On December 3, 2022, at 4:37 p.m., the singer's nanny arrived at the property with her children in the family SUV."

Adding, "This individual started gesturing or taking photographs of the SUV. (An employee) called the nanny, and told her that it was not safe to open the gate with this individual there, and she left the property with the children. She then called 911, and the police came and took a report. Before the police came, the individual remained on the property for a few minutes, taking photographs of the privacy gate and the property from the street."

In the filing, the security team gave a description of the individual, explaining how large and scary he looked. "He was wearing all black, with a New York Yankee’s baseball cap and an MLB Los Angeles All-Star game t-shirt, and was carrying a white “WSS” bag. He was very large and physically imposing, approximately 6’3” tall and over 250 pounds. He did not ring the doorbell, but stepped out of the view of the doorbell camera, getting up on his tippy-toes, and looking over the privacy gate, while checking his phone. I then spoke to him through the camera system, asking him if he needed help," they wrote.

Adding, "He told me that he was there for Kelly. I told him that there was no Kelly there. He then said “this is Kelly Clarkson’s house,” to which I responded “no.” He then said “this is the second time she has done this . . . unless I am speaking to a scammer or something. He then walked up to the privacy gate, and tried to show me something on his phone, while saying “she is telling me to ring the bell.” When I refused to let him in, he appeared to be irritated and confused, and asked: “Is this some kind of scam or something?” He was getting more and more nervous as we spoke."

It's interesting, that in most stalking cases against celebrities the person appears to be an "obsessed fan." In this case, it appears the person might have believed he was actually speaking with Clarkson online. The fact that the person questioned twice that it might be a scam, appears to show he believed someone was impersonating the singer online.

The security team concluded, "I then told him that he needed to leave. He said ok, but he lingered, still looking confused and irritated. He then walked away from the gate but remained at the front of the property across the street. At around that time, Kelly's nanny arrived in the family SUV with her children. I saw this individual start to gesture or take a photograph of the SUV. I then called the nanny to tell her that it was not safe to open the gate with this individual there and that she should go somewhere safe with the children until the police could be called. She then left the property, and I called 911."

The Los Angeles Police Department arrived on the scene and took a report. It appears the case is still under investigation.

Bottom line, Kelly believes the person might be dangerous, writing, "I am afraid of what he might do if he is notified of the hearing without any restraining order in place.  I am in fear that he may cause harm to me, my children, or my property."

The case is due back in court next month.
