Mötley Crüe’s Nikki Sixx revealed in a recent Instagram post that he has received disturbing threats aimed at him and his family by a stalker.
The bassist said that the FBI is looking into this stalker who is bothering his family, and this isn’t the first time he’s had this kind of problem. He wrote in his statement:
“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.”
Legal Measures And Protection Efforts
He continued, giving the details of that woman stalker:
“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. I want to thank the judge, the court staff, and my legal team for protecting my family.”
Second Stalker Emergence
In the rest of his statement, Sixx went on to note that there is a second fanatic who shows them threatening attention, writing:
“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. The FBI is currently investigating. 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.”
The musician, who lives in Wyoming with his wife, Courtney Sixx, and their 4-year-old daughter, Ruby, concluded his message with the following words:
“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.”
Celebrities Facing Scary Fan Behavior
Many celebrities around the world sometimes face fans who act in a scary way. Sex Pistols’ Johnny Rotten also revealed in July that he had contacted the police about an obsessive stalker who was leaving letters in his mailbox and trespassing on his property.
He also received phone calls from the stalker and had a direct confrontation with her. Following these incidents, he filed a stalking report with the sheriff’s department to initiate an investigation.
