The woman who was previously accused of stalking former Fleetwood Mac guitarist Lindsey Buckingham has spoken out.
The two-time Grammy Award winner was attacked in Los Angeles last week by a woman who threw a powdery substance at him.
Police have not publicly identified a suspect, but Michelle Dick, who has previously been accused of stalking, harassing and threatening to kill Buckingham and his family, admitted to local TV station KTLA that she had approached Buckingham last week.
When asked if she had previously gone to his Brentwood home, she told the outlet, “One time, that was last year. But I didn’t know I had a restraining order on me. He wasn’t a father to me, but he’s my birth father.”
Buckingham filed a request for a restraining order against Dick in December 2024, Fox News Digital reported.
“I am afraid her conduct may escalate into something physically dangerous to me and my family,” Buckingham wrote in the petition.
The harassment began in 2021 when Dick allegedly got “a hold of my wife Kristen’s business cell phone number and called the number dozens of times a day sometimes, leaving long drawn-out messages that included the claim that she was my child and threats to kill me and my family,” Buckingham stated.
“She also blamed me for facial deformities she apparently suffered as a child and demanded money. I do not know Ms Dick and I am not her father,” he added.
In September 2024, Dick was pulled over for sitting outside Buckingham’s home. As officers detained and questioned her, Dick stated that Buckingham was her birth father and had “suffocated her as a child”.
A few weeks later, in November, Buckingham stated he was “awoken out of sleep by nearly a dozen police. When I answered the door, I was handcuffed and asked to step outside my house. The reason given was that a 9-1-1 call had been received stating that my son William was in my house and suicidal, and that the caller had heard gunshots.
“She is clearly mentally unfit and harbours delusions, which makes her scary to me and unpredictable,” Buckingham added.
A Los Angeles County Superior Court judge granted the restraining order, which states that Dick must stay at least 100 yards away from Buckingham and his family. She was also ordered not to harass or attempt to make contact with him in any way.
