Kat Von D Restraining Order Granted Over 'Paranoid' Stalker
Kat Von D has many fans, but there's one that she wants to stay away from.
The 30-year-old tattoo artist received a temporary restraining order recently against a man who has been stalking her, E! Online reported on Monday.
Von D alleged that Michael Nunn followed her in person and used social media websites to monitor her in a way that made the former "LA Ink" concerned for her well-being.
The Mexican/Argentinean tattoo artist said Nunn attempted to contact her online back in April. The initial contact soon turned into a visit to the reality TV star's business and Nunn also called Von D's home phone from the street outside her house.
Additionally, Nunn reportedly sent a box of candy to Von D's house in May, around the same time she told the stalker to leave her alone. He also posted Von D's home phone number online.
Nunn continued to try and contact her with tweets that Von D said had "delusional and paranoid tendencies, including a belief [that] the FBI is watching him and that certain celebrities want to harm him."
A Los Angeles county judge granted the restraining order, which requires Nunn to remain 100 yards away from Von D at all times and stop contacting her online. A hearing will take place on Dec. 21, where the judge will decide if the order should be permanent.
Von D split from her Canadian producer boyfriend Deadmau5 in November. She announced the split to her fans on Twitter: "Man, I sure was wrong. But at least he made it a no-brainer to break that off. Lesson Learned." However, the two were seen holding hands in Los Angeles not long after their supposed breakup, which may suggest that their relationship isn't quite over.
