Matthew McConaughey Files Restraining Order Against 'Unhinged' Obsessed Fan

Matthew McConaughey is asking a judge to protect his family from an obsessed fan who is allegedly stalking him.

According to legal documents, obtained by The Blast, the actor claims a woman with mental health issues is harassing him and threatening to show up at a book signing to meet him. McConaughey says he is afraid for himself, and his wife, Camila Alves McConaughey.

In the filing, Matthew says she "has continuously harassed and stalked me since April 2022. The harassment started with delusional and disturbing letters, emails, and frivolous lawsuits." He continued, "These lawsuits were designed to lure me to court and come into contact with me."

The actor says the behavior is getting worse over time, and he is currently preparing for a meet and greet that he wants her barred from attending.

"She has purchased tickets to attend promotional events I am scheduled to appear at the week of 9/11/23. She is delusional and poses a threat to all that attend," he wrote.

The woman allegedly sent a "threatening email" to the bookstore ahead of the appearance, and the store forwarded it to the actor's team.

Matthew opened up about the situation in the court filing, claiming she "has continuously harassed me through delusion and unhinged letters, emails and frivolous lawsuits designed to lure me into court to contact me." He believes the behavior is "escalating" and if allowed to attend the meet and greets, she will be "afforded a photo opportunity which would place her in close contact with me. I am concerned."

Unfortunately, the 'Dallas Buyers Club' star says an investigation into the person turned up issues with mental health.

He writes, "Through an investigation and her own admission, I learned that (she) has a past history of mental health issues and has spent time at a mental health hospital. My representatives have acted professionally and have advised her to stop contacting me. Notwithstanding clear requests, she continues to send letters, emails, and other disturbing communications to my team as well as other third parties who are concerned about her next moves. This includes her intentions when she shows up at public events at their establishments."

The bottom line is the actor believes the situation might be escalating and is afraid for his family's safety. "I am concerned that (she) will continue to stalk me and potentially cause me physical harm. Her past behavior is unstable and is also delusional since she believes we have a relationship and that she has co-authored my books," the document reads.

Of course, Matthew is a good guy and pointed out "I have asked my security and other employees to treat her kindly but also make it clear that I do not wish to communicate with her."

In the filing, the actor is asking for protection for himself and his wife, Camila Alves.
