Stalker"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

\n\tTaylor Swift has won a temporary restraining order against an alleged stalker who the pop superstar claims showed up at her Los Angeles home numerous times over the past year to falsely claim she\u2019s the mother of his child.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe order requires Brian Jason Wagner, a 45-year-old Colorado man, to stay at least 100 yards away from Swift and her residence. Judge Debra R. Archuleta signed the directive on Monday (June 9), three days after Swift petitioned the court for help.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the restraining order request filed Friday (June 6), Swift said Wagner is a stalker who first showed up at her Los Angeles residence in July 2024. Wagner allegedly returned multiple times that month, at one point \u201ccarrying a glass bottle that could have been used as a weapon.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cDuring each of these visits, I am informed that Mr. Wagner made various statements about living at my property (not true), being in a relationship with me (not true), believing I am the mother of his son (not true), and needing to see me in person, all of which are untrue and disconnected from reality,\u201d wrote Swift.<\/p>\n

\n\tSwift said Wagner returned to the house again twice this past May, prompting her security team to run a background report. At this point, Swift\u2019s staff discovered that Wagner had a criminal record and had sent \u201clengthy communications\u201d from jail discussing a nonexistent romantic relationship with the singer.<\/p>\n

\n\tAccording to the restraining order request, Swift\u2019s team also discovered that Wagner had attempted to steal her mail and illegally obtained a California driver\u2019s license that listed her Los Angeles address as his own.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI do not share publicly where I reside and have never shared my address or the location of my Los Angeles residence with Mr. Wagner,\u201d wrote Swift in the filing. \u201cTherefore, the fact that Mr. Wagner has determined where I reside and visited the property several times, refusing to leave and claiming to need access, makes me fear for my safety and the safety of my family. The fact that both of these recent visits and Mr. Wagner\u2019s inappropriate and threatening communications to my staff about me have escalated in recent weeks creates a fear of imminent harm.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe temporary restraining order is set to expire on June 30, when Judge Archuleta will hold a hearing to determine whether a more permanent restraining order should be put in place.<\/p>\n

\n\tSwift\u2019s reps did not immediately return a request for comment on Monday. Wagner could not be reached for comment.<\/p>\n

\n\tThis is just the latest in a string of disturbing incidents that have landed Swift\u2019s alleged stalkers in legal trouble over the past few years. Florida man Roger Alvarado was sentenced to six months in jail in 2019 for breaking into Swift\u2019s New York home and taking a nap in her bed, and Texas resident Eric Swarbrick was sentenced to two and a half years in federal prison in 2020 for sending violent and threatening letters to her former label, Big Machine Records.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn January 2024, a man named David Crowe was charged with stalking after showing up outside Swift\u2019s New York apartment dozens of times in just a few months. The charges were ultimately dropped, as Crowe was declared mentally unfit for trial and transferred to a mental health facility.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
