Eva Mendes has secured a restraining order against an alleged stalker who sent her a terrifying letter and left hours of rambling messages for her. The 37-year-old Hollywood star was granted the temporary order against John C. Luna after he reportedly turned up at her house on May 31, and previously sent her a 'creepy' package of a letter, card and nine hours of 'bizarre' audio messages. In court papers, lawyers for Mendes state that Luna, 39, is 'a mentally unstable stalker, obsessed with Petitioner (Mendes) who delusional believes he has for years had an online relationship with her and believes he will marry petitioner.'
A judge on Tuesday ruled that Luna must stay at least 100 yards away from Mendes and not contact her.
In a signed court declaration, Mendes stated, 'I do not personally know, nor have any relationship with Mr Luna, have never had any personal communications with him, nor do I desire any interaction or communication with him whatsoever. 'Despite these facts, Mr Luna has sought to have personal contact with me and insert himself into my personal and private life.
'He engaged in on-going stalking and harassment directed at me, which is seriously alarming, annoying, and harassing me. 'As a result of Mr Luna's conduct directed at me, including references in a letter that he knows I am willing to die for him, and his showing up at my house on May 31 2011 looking for me, I am in constant fear from Mr Luna for my personal safety, and that of those around me.'A further hearing on the temporary order will be heard on June 20.
