‘HIMYM’ star gets legal help
Alyson Hannigan has been granted a temporary restraining order against an alleged stalker.
The How I Met Your Mother actress’ petition was agreed in a Los Angeles court yesterday (13 February), which instructed John Hobbs (43) to stay 100 yards away from her and her family, and stop posting about her online.
The flame-haired star claims he has repeatedly threatened her and her husband Alexis Denisof as well as their two young daughters, Satyana (3) and nine-month-old Keeva.
Hannigan petitioned the courts after receiving a "barrage of threatening messages" and feeling "severe fear for my safety and the safety of my family".
New Hampshire resident Hobbs – who was allegedly recently released from a psychiatric hospital – is said to have claimed he wanted to rape and kill Hannigan (38).
An officer who interviewed the obsessive fan wrote in the legal documents: "Hobbs seemed to be living in an alternate reality".
Hobbs admitted to police that he wanted to travel to California to meet the actress.
A hearing to extend the restraining order to cover the American Pie star and her family for a period of three years is scheduled for 6 March in Los Angeles.
