Fleetwood Mac’s Lindsey Buckingham and his wife Kristen Buckingham met with a detective from the Los Angeles Police Department after a scary incident involving their alleged stalker, In Touch can exclusively report.
As In Touch first reported, Lindsey, 75, was granted a temporary restraining order against a 53-year-old woman named Michelle.
The court ordered Michelle to stay 100 yards away from Lindsey, his wife Kristen and his son William Buckingham. The order will stay in effect until a hearing later this month, where the musician can make his case for a permanent restraining order.
In his petition, Lindsey accused Michelle of harassing and stalking him and his family since 2021.
He said the harassment began when Michelle got ahold of Kristen’s cell phone number and called the number dozens of times a day “sometimes, leaving long drawn-out messages that included the claim that she was my child and threats to kill me and my family.”
He said, “She also blamed me for facial deformities she apparently suffered as a child and demanded money.”
Lindsey was adamant, “I do not know [Michelle] and I am not her father.”
He said police told Michelle to stop harassing the family in 2022. Lindsey said he believed Michelle had stopped and he decided not to bring any legal action.
However, he said he learned this year from his son William that Michelle had been calling him since 2021.
He said his son had been ignoring the calls for years and did not tell his father about them until Michelle reappeared in 2024.
The first alleged incident occurred when Lindsey and his wife received a picture collage attached to the face of their mailboxes with pictures of his face and Michelle’s face. Lindsey said Michelle showed up to one of his homes on September 19.
He said LAPD responded and chased her down in her car. Lindsey said Michelle was warned not to come back. He said things escalated on November 3. He said he was awoken out of his sleep by “nearly a dozen policepersons.”
“When I answered the door, I was handcuffed and asked to step outside of my house. The reason given was that a 911 call had been received stating that my son William was in my house and [wanting to harm himself] and that the caller had heard gunshots.”
“After twenty minutes of the police searching my house and me outside in the cold handcuffed, I was let back into my house, shaken and fearful,” Lindsey said.
Lindsey said police eventually realized the claims from the caller were “fictitious” and uncuffed him.
“I now know that the 911 call was traced to [Michelle’s] phone and was the latest in an unabated pattern of harassment and threatening acts against my family and me.” Lindsey pleaded with the court to grant his petition. Kristen said in her declaration that she feared for her family’s safety if Michelle was not restrained.
Lindsey’s legal team are scheduled to be back in court on December 20 to argue for the temporary order being converted into a long-term restraining order.
