NIKKI SIXX, bassist for U.S.A. hard rockers MOTLEY CRUE has arrested a stalker who violated a restraining order from following his family in Wyoming.
MOTLEY CRUE have reunited and have released "DOGS OF WAR", a stand alone single, unleashed 4/2024.
ITP V.024 EDITORS NOTE: Good on NIKKI SIXX for arresting his stalker. I had to go through similar situations and may have to have someone arrested.
FROM NIKKI SIXX (MOTLEY CRUE VIA BLABBERMOUTH.NET:):
"Stalker one from Tennesee has been arrested (again) for breaking the restraining order (again) and is also being charged with resisting arrest. Been a hard month. Happy to be home with my family. Thank you to my legal team and the court system."
" People can’t do whatever they want when it comes to my family. It's important to hold these people accountable."
"We are asking for three years in jail," he wrote. "We are using the legal system to hold bad people accountable. When your daughter and wife get threatened all bets are off."
"Like many other public figures, myself and my family were harassed and threatened by a stalker. A deranged woman from Tennessee, who I have never met or seen before, targeted my wife and child with threats of death and bodily harm. This was not some Internet troll but someone who was convinced that she was somehow connected to me. Her harassment went on for a long time and got progressively more scary, forcing me to go to court several times and obtain restraining orders. She violated the restraining orders multiple times. As a result, the court found the conduct serious enough to hold her in contempt of court and order that she be arrested.
Now another stalker from a different part of the country started doing the same thing, going so far as to travel to my house and threaten our lives again," he continued.
"It's one thing to threaten my safety but when it comes to serious threats against my wife and children, it just becomes beyond alarming. They do not deserve this.
"Thank you to the FBI, law enforcement, the detectives and the legal and court system for treating these threats with the severity and urgency they require. I will go to any lengths to protect my family."
Thousands of celebrities across the world are occasionally confronted by fanatics who give them intimidating attention.
Last year, research published in the journal PLOS by Idaho State University identified factors that are associated with the tendency to engage in stalking, such as having frequent personal thoughts about a favorite celebrity and being prone to boredom.
Another study showed almost half of the threatening fan letters had writers that believed they already had some kind of personal relationship with the celebrity, perceiving themselves as a friend or acquaintance.
