Lana Del Rey reportedly fears for her safety because of a stalker. A judge in Los Angeles has now granted a restraining order against the man. He must be at least 300 feet away from her. According to the singer, the stalker allegedly stole one of her cars earlier this year.
According to court documents available to “TMZ”, Eric E. entered the singer’s residence without permission in February. The man then got into one of the cars and drove away. For this he received a criminal complaint.
“Disturbing Letter” to Lana Del Rey
But that didn’t stop the stalker. He is said to have entered the residence again in July and left a letter to Lana Del Rey. In the “disturbing” message, Eric E. wrote that he was dying to see the singer one more time.
According to Lana Del Rey, her family has also been contacted. Her sister received two text messages from the man between February and July 2022. The injunction also prohibits the stalker from contacting Del Rey’s sister or brother.
Not the first incident for the singer
In 2018, a 43-year-old man was convicted of attempting to kidnap Lana Del Rey. The stalker was stopped by police just a block away from the singer’s concert. He carried a gun and was ultimately sentenced to one year in prison.
The musician also had to witness a burglary. In 2016, a man was sentenced to three months in prison.
