Retired Los Angeles Rams star defensive tackle Aaron Donald was granted a temporary restraining order on Tuesday against a woman he claims has harassed and stalked him and his family since 2020.
Donald, 33, filed a request for a civil harassment restraining order against Janelle Anwar in Los Angeles County Central District Court, which was obtained by The Athletic.
According to Donald, the harassment began with threatening emails in 2020 and has since escalated to sending him packages and gifts and stalking him. In March, the filing states, Anwar sent messages to Donald via Google Chat threatening the life of his 3-year-old son Aaric.
In his petition, Donald states he has never met Anwar, but she believes they are married. The petition says Anwar filed for dissolution of marriage from Donald last month, seeking spousal support of $1,500 and a “settlement” of $6.5 million. Donald claims he was not served the petition and is only aware of it since he was notified by the NFL security office.
