Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty Images(LOS ANGELES) — Taylor Swift has obtained a temporary restraining order against a man who claims to be her husband.
In court documents obtained by TMZ, Swift claims Timothy Sweet has been harassing her with a barrage of letters, emails and social media posts since January 2011.
According to Swift’s legal documents, one of Sweet’s messages reads, “My wife, Taylor Swift (Sweet) and I live in Beverly Hills. I am in love with her. In conclusion, we treat each other with dignity and respect. I will carry a gun to protect her the rest of my life.”
In another message to the singer, Sweet writes, “Dearest Taylor, I’ll kill any man who gets in the way of our marriage. Message to John Kerry, Secretary of State. Message from YOUR Presidential Candidate.”
A Los Angeles Superior Court judge has ordered Sweet to stay 100 yards away from the singer and her family.
E! News reports the 33-year-old Sweet is also barred from contacting Swift through any electronic means.
The temporary restraining order remains in effect until March 25 when a hearing will be held to determine if the order should be extended.
