Rebel Wilson has been granted a temporary restraining order from a ‘delusional’ man that has allegedly been ‘harassing’ her for months.
The 41-year-old Pitch Perfect star’s alleged stalker has reportedly shown up to her Los Angeles home multiple times with strange gifts and letters, according to a report from TMZ.
In legal documents, filed by the actress’ lawyer Susan Haber, the individual is said to have located her home in Los Angeles and delivered a handwritten note which falsely claims he has a 20-year-old son with the actress.

Wilson also said the letter falsely detailed how they supposedly met in 2001 at a club, where they talked, kissed and ‘we both know what happened thereafter.’
Despite the man’s claims of his shared history with one of Hollywood’s favorite comedians, she stated they had never met.
Among the presents left by her door, he also left her a toy penguin that says ‘love’ on it.

Wilson wrote that she believes the man is ‘delusional’ and has created ‘in his mind a fictitious history of a relationship he had, and wants to continue to have’ with her.
His persistent alleged harassment has led the Isn’t It Romantic star to fear for her safety, and she believes his behavior won’t stop until the court steps in.
With her latest legal win against him, her stalker ‘must stay 100 yards away from Rebel and not make any attempt to contact her,’ according to TMZ.

In 2020, she revealed at the Australian Open’s Inspirational Women lunch that she once had a stalker from rural Victoria who planned to ‘lock’ her on his farm, in hopes she could develop Stockholm Syndrome.
Last year, she spoke out about being sexually harassed from two figures in the entertainment industry on separate occasions during an interview with the BBC.
The first encounter occurred in a hotel room in Australia when Rebel was in her 20s and she was invited to chat with a ‘big time’ film director.

‘I literally thought I was going to have a meeting about comedy and talk about comedy,’ she recalled. ‘He kept trying to give me more and more alcohol.’
The star stated that the director received a phone call during the meeting from his wife, which Rebel was able to clearly hear.
‘She started saying, “you’ve got Rebel in that hotel room, you were going to sleep with her…” I heard the message. That was the first time I thought, “oh my god, what is this? What’s going on?”‘

Rebel proceeded to quickly leave the hotel room and never spoke of the encounter again.
The second instance of sexual harassment occurred on a movie set Rebel was on in Los Angeles, when she was randomly invited to a male co-star’s trailer.
The actress revealed that the actor dropped his pants as she entered the trailer and asked her to perform an inappropriate act as his male friends filmed the meeting with their phones.

‘I was in shock, I was like, ‘What’s going on?’ Just kept saying, ‘no, what is this?’ Like, ‘no, no, no’,’ Wilson explained.
‘His buddies are laughing and he’s kind of clearly getting off on it.’
Rebel’s agent reported the incident to the studio, who revealed it was the fourth complaint they had received about the unnamed actor.
