John Mayer granted temporary restraining order against ‘obsessed’ fan

Musician John Mayer has been granted a temporary restraining order against an obsessed fan after receiving multiple threats. According to court docs obtained by E! the alleged stalker, 39-year-old Ryan Jeremy Knight began harassing Mayer and his team in March via social which escalated with the stalker sending messages to John with references to serial killer Ted Bundy and John Lennon's murderer Mark David Chapman.

"I've put many a Jew in the hospital’’, the alleged stalker is reported to have told the ‘New Light’ singer.

The situation took a scary turn when Knight showed up to Mayer’s performance in North Carolina on June 28. Fortunately, the singer’s security team found Knight and escorted him off the premises.

A distraught Mayer was thus forced to pursue legal action as Knight’s threats have caused the singer to “suffer substantial emotional duress,” according to court filings.

A judge, as of now has ordered that Knight must stay 100 feet away from the singer and his home. A followup court hearing is scheduled for August 27 to determine if the restraining order should be made permanent, the site reports.
