Taylor Swift granted restraining order against alleged stalker who claimed they had a child together
Pop powerhouse Taylor Swift is once again facing terrifying intrusions into her personal life. The global superstar has been granted a temporary restraining order against an alleged stalker who reportedly visited her Los Angeles home multiple times while claiming they were in a relationship and had a child together.
Alleged stalker claims he shares a child with Taylor Swift
The alleged stalker, 45-year-old Brian Jason Wagner from Colorado, is said to have made repeated, uninvited visits to Swift's residence from as early as July 2024 right up until May 2025. During these visits, Wagner allegedly made disturbing claims — that he was living on her property, was romantically involved with her, and that Swift was the mother of his child. According to Swift, none of these allegations bear any truth and are completely 'disconnected from reality'.
One particularly concerning incident involved Wagner reportedly holding a glass bottle, which Swift believes could have been used as a weapon. The Grammy-winning artist shared in court documents that his presence left her feeling deeply unsafe, not only for herself but also for her family.
The restraining order mandates Wagner to stay at least 100 yards away from Swift, with a court hearing scheduled for 30 June to determine whether a more permanent order will be issued.
A disturbing pattern of stalking
Sadly, this is far from Swift's first brush with obsessive stalkers. Over the years, the singer has faced multiple incidents of trespassing, harassment, and serious security threats. In 2017, a man was committed to a psychiatric facility after breaking into her apartment building. In 2018, another intruder used her shower and slept in her bed. That same year, a third man travelled over 1,000 miles to her home, carrying ammunition, a knife, rope, and gloves.
Taylor Swift takes over her original six albums
Swift, who is currently riding high after regaining ownership of her master recordings, has remained candid about the toll these stalker incidents have taken on her. She recently finalised a deal to buy back her original six albums, which were previously sold off without her consent. The singer said that owning her own music outright, with full autonomy, had always been her dream.
As Swift continues to reclaim her power professionally, she is also standing firm in protecting her personal space, reminding the world that even global icons deserve safety and peace.

Harvey Weinstein Found Guilty On A Sex Crimes Charge In New York Retrial
New York: A Manhattan jury found Harvey Weinstein guilty on a sex crimes charge on Wednesday in a retrial after a state appeals court last year overturned the former movie mogul's 2020 conviction. Weinstein, once one of the most powerful figures in Hollywood, was accused by prosecutors in the case of raping an aspiring actress and assaulting two other women. Weinstein, 73, pleaded not guilty and has denied assaulting anyone or having non-consensual sex. In closing arguments on June 3, the prosecution told the 12 jurors that the evidence showed how Weinstein used his power and influence to trap and abuse women. The defence countered that the accusers lied on the witness stand out of spite after their consensual sexual encounters with the Oscar-winning producer failed to result in Hollywood stardom. Jurors reached their verdict on the fifth day of sometimes fractious deliberations. The retrial began on April 23. Weinstein has had a litany of health problems and attended the retrial in a wheelchair. In the retrial, Weinstein was charged with raping aspiring actress Jessica Mann in 2013, assaulting former production assistant Miriam Haley in 2006 and assaulting Kaja Sokola in 2002 when she was a 16-year-old aspiring actress. A jury had in February 2020 found Weinstein guilty of raping Mann and sexually assaulting Haley. Sokola's allegation was not part of that case. The conviction was a milestone for the #MeToo movement, which encouraged women to come forward with allegations of sexual misconduct by powerful men. But the New York Court of Appeals, the state's highest court, threw out that conviction in April 2024. It said the trial judge erred by letting women testify that Weinstein had assaulted them, though their accusations were not the basis of the criminal charges. Though the 2020 conviction was thrown out, Weinstein has remained behind bars because of his 2022 rape conviction in California, which resulted in a 16-year prison sentence. He is appealing that verdict. More than 100 women, including famous actresses, have accused Weinstein of misconduct. The retrial was handled by prosecutors with the office of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. They portrayed Weinstein as a serial predator who promised career advancement in Hollywood to women, only to then coax them into private settings where he attacked them. The defense rejected that characterization, saying Weinstein engaged in "mutually beneficial" relationships with his accusers, who ended up with auditions and other show business opportunities. Weinstein co-founded the Miramax studio, whose hit movies included "Shakespeare in Love" and "Pulp Fiction." His own eponymous film studio filed for bankruptcy in March 2018, five months after sexual misconduct accusations against him became widely publicized. Weinstein has experienced several health episodes while being held at New York City's Rikers Island jail, and in September was rushed to a hospital for emergency heart surgery.
