Matthew McConaughey, Shakira deal with alleged stalkers who think they’re married to the stars
Matthew McConaughey and Shakira are the latest celebrities to deal with the dark side of Hollywood fame.
The “Fool’s Gold” star and “Hips Don’t Lie” singer both took their alleged stalkers to court recently.
A woman claims she’s McConaughey’s “common law wife,” while a man insists he’s Shakira’s husband.
Neither McConaughey nor Shakira know these individuals.
Matthew McConaughey
Matthew McConaughey was granted a 5-year restraining order against a woman who had allegedly been stalking the actor.
The woman insists she’s McConaughey’s “common law wife” and that she co-authored his new book, “Just Because.” According to the temporary restraining order previously obtained by Fox News Digital, the woman had been sending McConaughey “unhinged letters, emails, and frivolous lawsuits designed to lure [him] into court” to make contact with him.
McConaughey first filed for a temporary restraining order in September after the woman claimed she was traveling to a promotional event for the actor’s new book. McConaughey noted in the peтιтion he was “concerned” the woman might cause him “physical harm.”
When the woman showed up at the event, she was met by authorities and informed of the restraining order against her. She was asked to leave and escorted away by police, Fox News Digital previously confirmed.
Shakira
A 56-year-old man showed up outside Shakira’s home Jan. 8, claiming to be her husband, Fox News Digital confirmed.
Daniel John Valtier allegedly posted various messages on social media and sent the Colombian singer flowers before showing up at Shakira’s home.
“She’s my wife. I speak to her all the time,” Valtier told a judge during his court appearance.
Britney Spears
Britney Spears’ ex-husband Jason Alexander landed in jail after he attempted to crash the pop star’s wedding in 2022. Alexander arrived at Spears’ home hours before the ceremony was set to take place. He livestreamed as he entered the property and walked around.
Security asked him to leave, and a physical altercation ensued.
In August 2022, Alexander was found guilty of aggravated trespᴀss and battery charges, California officials said at the time. Alexander pleaded no contest to the misdemeanor charges, according to the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office.
Authorities said Alexander, who was not invited to the nuptials, damaged a door and battered a security guard who attempted to remove him after he refused to leave the wedding.
