Chris Martin has filed a restraining order against an alleged stalker.
The Clocks singer has claimed that the woman stalking him has stalked him via Facebook and Twitter since April 2022 before beginning to loiter outside his home, attempting to get inside. As reported by The Blast, who obtained the court documents, Martin is requesting protection for himself, his partner Dakota Johnson, and his two children with ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow, 18-year-old Apple and 16-year-old Moses.
"Mr. Christopher Martin seeks a civil restraining order against (the woman) to cease the continuous and incredibly distressing harassment from which he currently suffers. He is horrified and fearful that (the woman) is under the delusion that she and Mr. Martin are married and that she lives at his residence. Mr. Martin has never had any type of relationship (personal or professional) with her; he has never met nor spoken with her," the court documents read.
In recent months, the harassment has reportedly increased in number and severity. The documents continue, "Her conduct has instilled great fear for his safety and for those with whom he resides because of the hundreds (if not more) of social media postings which contents prove by well over a preponderance of the evidence (the woman's) emotional instability, delusions, and now actions she is taking, to continue to harass and place both Mr. Martin and his partner, Ms. Dakota Johnson, in danger."
The documents also report the woman's posts stating that Johnson uses "black magic" to hurt her physically.
"It is abundantly clear that (the woman) is delusional by creating in her mind an elaborate and fictitious history of a relationship with Mr. Martin, living in Mr. Martin's residence, and being married to him. She now is acting upon her delusions by attempting to enter Mr. Martin's private property as well as driving by his residence at all hours of the day and night to personally contact Mr. Martin by any means possible," the documents conclude.
The judge has ordered the woman to stay 100 yards (91.44 metres) away from the couple, including the Coldplay singer's home and Johnson's car.
