‘Gotham Knights’ star Olivia Rose Keegan is asking for a restraining order against a “delusional” man she claims is an old childhood acquaintance.
According to legal documents, obtained by The Blast, the actress describes an ongoing situation of harassment and dangerous behavior from a person she went to Elementary School with in Northern California. Keegan is asking a Los Angeles County judge to protect her and famous boyfriend, Dylan McTee.
In the filing, Olivia claims she ran into this person in June of 2022 with her boyfriend. The man (we are choosing to withhold his name) bumped into the couple in Venice Beach, CA, and exchanged information with him because of their prior connection from childhood school.

Interestingly, the actress explains the person was five grades above her, and the “last year that we were in school together I was in the 3rd grade and he was in the 8th grade.”
“Everything seemed fine and we exchanged contact information as friends do. He contacted me by text message shortly thereafter. I answered him and the initial text messages between us were normal. He continued messaging me however and it became apparent that he wanted a relationship with me. I tried to be cordial and let him know that I was not interested. He sent messages that he did not understand and would not accept that I only liked him as a friend. He began to text message and call me with increasing regularity. This made me very uncomfortable and I stopped responding to him completely. This did not deter him,” she wrote.
Additionally, the person “harassed me by sending multiple text messages similar in content to the hundreds of harassing messages he has been sending me since March of this year. From the very beginning, and in this most recent text, he repeatedly insists that we are meant to be together romantically and that I need to answer his calls and respond to his messages,” she recalls.
Now, the actress says he is threatening her boyfriend with physical violence.

The actress is willing to provide the court with “documentary evidence containing multiple text messages sent to me from him where he explicitly threatens to beat my boyfriend. In one text, in particular, he threatens physical harm to my boyfriend and immediately after states that he will r— me.”
She continued, “His most recent text message in combination with his delusional thinking, past threats of sexual violence against me, threats of physical violence against my boyfriend, and repeated phone calls has left me extremely frightened for our safety. I experience emotional distress from this situation and I am afraid when I leave the house.”
Keegan says the situation is bad enough, that since March he has sent over 400 text messages — and during a 22-day period he “Facetimed me approximately 279 times and often all night long.”
The bottom line is, the actress says “Although we were not physically harmed, Dylan and I are emotionally distressed by the threats of physical and sexual violence perpetrated against us by him and we fear for our safety.” She says the man has become “delusional” and “his intent to physically hurt me and my boyfriend.”
The case is ongoing.
