Man accused of 'stalking' Jennifer Aniston for two years before crashing into gate at her home
A man who allegedly crashed his car through the gate of Jennifer Aniston's home has been accused of harassment.
On Monday (05.05.25), Jimmy Wayne Carwyle, 48, is said to have driven his Chrysler PT Cruiser into the front gate of the 'Friends' star's Bel Air property.
He has been accused of repeatedly sending Jennifer, 56, unwanted email, social media messages and voicemail since 2023.
Prosecutors said he has now been charged with felony stalking and vandalism, while Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman said Carwyle also faces an aggravating circumstance of threat of great bodily harm.
Hochman said in a statement: "My office is committed to aggressively prosecuting those who stalk and terrorise others, ensuring they are held accountable."
Carwyle has been held in jail since his arrest earlier this week with bail set at $150,000 (£112,742).
He will appear in court on Thursday (08.05.25), and could face up to three years in prison if he is convicted.
Jennifer was at home when Carwyle allegedly crashed into the gate.
A public information officer from the Los Angeles Police Department told PEOPLE: "There was a security guard on premises who was able to detain that suspect until officers arrived, at which time they took him into custody without incident.
"The resident was home at the time."
The authorities noted that while the suspect has sustained minor injuries, no one else was hurt in the incident.
Jennifer rose to fame on 'Friends' alongside Courteney Cox, David Schwimmer, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc and the late Matthew Perry.
The six stars appeared on the iconic sitcom from 1994 to 2004, and since then she has enjoyed roles in the likes of 'Marley and Me', 'Horrible Bosses', 'Murder Mystery' and Apple TV+ series 'The Morning Show'.
Jennifer recently revealed the most "surprising" place she had been recognised as her alter ego Rachel Green, and admitted it was when she was in quite a "vulnerable" state.
She told Travel+Leisure magazine: "Not surprising, but I've been in vulnerable places, like undressed in a steam room, or in a sauna or some sort of a spa either half-covered or completely naked."

Mary Lou Retton 'determined to learn and grow' after DUI conviction
Mary Lou Retton is "determined to learn and grow" following her conviction for driving under the influence (DUI). The Olympic gold medal-winning gymnast, 57, was arrested by police in West Virginia last month after she was found behind the wheel of her Porsche in a parking lot with a bottle of wine in the passenger seat and she appeared in court on Tuesday (10.06.25) where she pleaded no contest plea to a non-aggravated DUI charge. She has now released a statement via PEOPLE apologising for her actions. It reads: "I take full responsibility for my actions. What happened was completely unacceptable. I make no excuses. To my family, friends and my fans: I have let you down, and for that I am deeply sorry. "I am determined to learn and grow from this experience, and I am committed to making positive changes in my life. I truly appreciate your concern, encouragement and continued support." Retton's attorney Edmund J. Rollo added the former sports star "asks for privacy as she moves forward with her personal and professional life". Police claimed that during the incident in West Virginia, Retton refused to have her blood tested for alcohol but three field sobriety tests confirmed she was too impaired to drive. She was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol, controlled substances, or drugs; penalties and released from custody after posting a personal recognizance bond of $1,500. The former Dancing with the Stars contestant was fined $100 for the offence. The incident comes less than two years after Retton was left fighting for her life in intensive care after she was struck down with a rare form of pneumonia. Retton's daughter McKenna, 26, launched an online fundraiser to help pay for her mum's treatment because she didn't have medical insurance and it pulled in more than $459,000. The former sports star - who is mother to four daughters - went on to make a full recovery and shared an emotional open letter thanking her loved ones for all their support during such a tough time. In a post on Instagram, she wrote: "I want to express how truly blessed and thankful I am to be slowly improving and to be home with my girls, especially after my time in the hospital. "The love and support of my four amazing daughters have been a source of strength and inspiration throughout my journey. Their presence in my life is a testament to the incredible bonds of family. "My extended family, all of you, have shown me immeasurable kindness, offering prayers, encouragement, and unwavering support during my challenging times. Your love has been a beacon of hope in my life."

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom's relationship is on the rocks, source says
There are rumours bubbling that Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom's relationship is on rocky ground. 'It's over,' one source told Page Six. 'They are waiting till her tour is over before they split.' Perry is currently in Australia on her Lifetimes tour, which began on April 23 and runs through December 7. The pair first met in 2016 at a Golden Globes after-party. They got engaged on Valentine's Day in 2019, and welcomed daughter, Daisy Dove, in August of 2020. Sources have told People that stress over the poor reception of her new album, 143, has caused 'tension' in the stars' relationship. 'Katy was deeply frustrated following the reception of her new album,' a source told the pub. 'It made her very stressed. Orlando was understanding, but it did cause some tension.' Another source told the magazine, 'She was also disappointed in some of the tour reviews. It's put stress on their relationship.' Spies tell Page Six that Bloom was spending time in Miami, Florida, last month. The couple previously split for a year in 2017. Perry addressed the past break on Call her Daddy, in 2024, saying, 'We weren't really in it from day one. He was because he had just done a huge time of celibacy, and he had set intentions. I was fresh out of a relationship, and I was like, I can't do this anymore. I need to swim in a different pond, but I had to do a lot real work.' That same month, the pop star told People, 'Orlando and I, when we argue, we argue kinda hot and fast and then cool really quickly. It's like, 'La la la la la, I love you. Alright, let's move on.'' 'We are fire, fire, fire, and so [Daisy] sees all of that,' she continued. 'He's a real sage. We both have parts of ourselves. There's two parts of us, our highest good, and then our carnal, material self. Ego. When the ego is running the show, then it's like, 'Whoa.' But when that's in check, then we're both something else.'' The couple have previously said that they've turned to couple's therapy. In 2023 the Pirates of the Caribbean actor opened up about their challenges in Flaunt magazine, saying: 'We're in two very different pools [for their work]. Her pool is not a pool that I necessarily understand, and I think my pool is not a pool that she necessarily understands.' He added: 'Sometimes things are really, really, really, challenging. I won't lie. We definitely battle with our emotions and creativity.' 'I think we're both aware of how blessed we are to have uniquely connected in the way that we did at the time that we did. And there's definitely never a dull moment,' he continued. Bloom and their daughter attended the Dark Horse singer's recent 11-minute trip to the edge of space on the all-female Blue Origins flight where she kissed the ground upon landing. Page Six have reached out to the couple's rep.
