AceShowbiz - Sofia Vergara may now breathe a sigh of relief. The "Modern Family" alum was granted a temporary restraining order against a "delusional" and "aggressive" stalker who kept harassing her.
According to legal documents obtained by TMZ, the stalker's name is Gregory Brown. He reportedly just got released from jail and is on parole for committing the same crime in the past.
In the docs, Sofia described Gregory as a "mentally unstable stalker" with "a delusional belief he personally knows her and has a relationship with her and her family," including her 32-year-old son Manolo. She added that his "aggressive and harassing conduct" has left her fearing for her safety and caused her anxiety and emotional distress.
Sofia claimed Gregory was jailed for trespassing and vandalism at her property earlier this year. However, the stalker remains undeterred.
In addition, the "America's Got Talent" judge said Gregory tried to gain access to her and her son multiple times. One of his attempts was obtaining unauthorized access into the gated community by hiking from the hills in July 2023.
In November, Gregory sent her a disturbing letter that read, "He'll be seeing and hearing her very soon, my love." He reportedly signed it off as "Gangsta."
Now that Sofia has been given TRO, Gregory has to be at least 100 yards away from her and her son. He is also prohibited from contacting them.
The report arrived amid Sofia's blossoming romance with surgeon Dr. Justin Saliman. "They like each other a lot, but Sofia is also taking things slow. Sofia and Justin have a lot of fun together and Sofia always keeps everyone around her laughing and in positive spirits. Justin likes that she takes pride in keeping her personal life private, that she's up front and honest, and that she can be her genuine self with him," a source told Entertainment Tonight last month.
