A Hollywood actor has been plunged into a real-life nightmare after a dangerously obsessed fan issued a series of bone-chilling threats, including a demand for the star's decapitated head.
The terrifying ordeal came to light after the actor, whose identity remains protected by the court, was forced to seek a restraining order against his alleged stalker, 37-year-old Brandon Joseph Pilet. The legal documents, filed in Los Angeles, paint a picture of a rapidly escalating and deeply disturbing fixation.
A Descent into Delusion
According to the petition, the harrowing messages began flooding in on January 30th of this year. What started as unwanted communication quickly spiralled into something far more sinister. Pilet's alleged messages became increasingly unhinged, crossing the line from fandom into outright terror.
The most horrifying communication cited in the court filing was a direct and graphic death threat. The actor was told, in no uncertain terms, "I want your head on my wall"—a statement so violent it left the star in fear for his life and the safety of his family.
Beyond the Threat: A Pattern of Harassment
The threats were not isolated. The legal complaint details a campaign of harassment that included:
- Graphic and violent messages describing how the actor should be killed.
- Persistent and unwanted attempts to make contact across different platforms.
- An intense and delusional belief in a personal relationship that simply does not exist.
This pattern of behaviour demonstrated a clear and present danger, compelling the actor to take immediate legal action to ensure his protection.
The Legal Response
The court has since granted the temporary restraining order, legally forbidding Brandon Joseph Pilet from any form of contact with the actor. He must also stay at least 100 yards away from the star, his home, his vehicle, and his place of work.
A hearing has been scheduled to determine if the order should be extended for a longer period. This case highlights the terrifying dark side of fame, where admiration can sometimes curdle into dangerous obsession, forcing public figures to live in a state of heightened alert.
