Mötley Crüe’s Nikki Sixx updates fans after multiple stalker experience
Mötley Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx has issued a statement thanking the law for protecting his family from multiple stalkers.
The co-founder and bassist of the Hollywood band took to Twitter to detail what had been going on with two of his stalkers. He revealed one person was arrested after breaking a restraining order and another individual had been targeting his family with their threats.
“Like many other public figures, myself and my family were harassed and threatened by a stalker. A deranged woman from Tennessee, who I have never met or seen before, targeted my wife and child with threats of death and bodily harm. This was not some internet troll but someone who was convinced that she was somehow connected to me,” Sixx said.
He continued: “Her harassment went on for a long time and got progressively more scary, forcing me to go to court several times and obtain restraining orders. She violated the restraining orders multiple times. As a result, the court found the conduct serious enough to hold her in contempt of court and order that she be arrested. I want to thank the judge, the court staff and my legal team for protecting my family.”
The Mötley Crüe member then explained that a different stalker had been doing similar things and had travelled to his home and threatened his wife, Courtney Bingham, and his children. Sixx also thanked the FBI for their involvement in this case and for urgently dealing with them.
“It’s one thing to threaten my safety but when it comes to serious threats against my wife and children it just becomes beyond alarming. They do not deserve this,” he added. “Thank you to the FBI, law enforcement, the detectives and the legal and court system for treating these threats with the severity and urgency they require. I will go to any lengths to protect my family.”
In other Mötley Crüe news earlier this year, Nikki Sixx revealed that the songs for their long-awaited 10th album are “officially done”. The new record will be their first since 2008’s Saints of Los Angeles.
