JOHN MAYER SEEKS RESTRAINING ORDER AGAINST STALKER: John Mayer was granted a temporary restraining order against a man the singer claims has been harassing him since March. Mayer says the guy has been sending him both private and public social media messages, some of which mention the names of notorious killers like Ted Bundy and John Lennon’s assassin, Mark David Chapman. According to The Blast, another message the man sent John read, “You step from me again and I will kill you.” John says the messages “have put me in fear for myself and caused me substantial emotional distress,” adding that the man’s “statements and behavior indicate an unhealthy obsession with me.” John also described how, “after sending threatening, violent and disturbing messages to me,” the guy “showed up to a public place in North Carolina knowing that I would be making an appearance.” Luckily, John says, security spotted the alleged stalker and stopped him from entering the venue.
