Singer Billie Eilish Granted Restraining Order Against Alleged Stalker Who Reportedly Used Her Outdoor Shower
According to new court documents from The Blast, the “Ocean Eyes” singer has received a restraining order against an alleged stalker she reportedly caught using her outdoor shower.
The 21-year-old testified via court call, and the order of protection also extends to her parents. Honorable Judge Adrian Gidaya Roxas issued the restraining order on Thursday, April 13, against a man named Raymond Black.
The hearing started at 9:48 AM on Thursday. It is not clear how long the meeting went on, but her restraining order was granted, lasting for five years, and is due to expire on April 13, 2028. Until then, Black could not “take any action to obtain” her address or location.
Billie Eilish’s Alleged Stalker Cannot Contact Her By E-mail, Fax, Telephone, Or Any Other Means.
He can also not contact the “bad guy” singer or her family “either directly or indirectly, in any way, including, but not limited to, in person, by telephone, in writing, by public or private mail, by interoffice mail, by e-mail, by text message, by fax, or by other electronic means.”
It should go without saying, but he also cannot “Harass, intimidate, molest, attack, strike, stalk, threaten, assault (sexually or otherwise), hit abuse, destroy personal property of, or disturb the peace of the person.”
The court also granted the singer’s request to keep her alleged stalker away from her home, her vehicle, her workplace, and her parents’ home.
Alleged Stalker Reportedly Used The Outdoor Shower At Her Home
As The Blast reported, the “Happier Than Ever” singer requested a restraining order against her alleged stalker in February 2023. She claims that multiple people have been “stalking, harassing, and threatening” her life due to her fame, and this is no exception.
“Regrettably, my commercial success has also coincided with random individuals, previously unknown to me, stalking, harassing, and threatening me and seeking to personally contact and potentially harm me,” Eilish wrote in the court petition. “This has included disturbed individuals going to extreme lengths, such as attempting to gain entry to my home and my parents’ home.”
“Due to past events, I have been forced to employ a 24-hour security team and to take other security measures to guard against further intrusions upon my and my family’s privacy,” she continued. “Regrettably, despite my best efforts, on the evening of February 20, 2023, an individual breached the walls of my residence and proceeded to trespass onto my property and stalk me.”
Eilish Says That The Alleged Stalker Caused Her ‘Anxiety, Fear, and Emotional Distress
In the court papers, Eilish alleges that she discovered her alleged stalker “on my pool deck around 7:30” at night. In the filing, she claimed that she found him standing shirtless outside her living room window and only realized that she was there when she turned on the lights. She added that he had been staring at her through the glass.
She describes how she quickly called 911 and how law enforcement officials arrived at her home but could not find her intruder. They were able to track him down in the local area and arrest him.
Eilish then reviewed the security footage from her home and alleged that Mr. Black, “among other things, disrobed and used the outdoor shower on my property.”
“While this is not the first time an unknown individual has attempted to contact my family or me and stalked us, every occasion, including the February 20th incident, causes me substantial anxiety, fear, and emotional distress over my safety and that of my immediate family,” the “lovely” singer wrote in the court documents, noting that he had been seen on security camera footage at her parent’s house as well.
She added, “I worry that someday one of these individuals will do something violent or alarming to one of my family members or me.”
