How I Met Your Mother star, Alyson Hannigan has obtained a restraining order against a mentally disturbed New Hampshire man named John Hobbs who was threatening her and her husband on Facebook.
In the temporary restraining order Hannigan states,"Hobbs who is mentally unstable and is recently discharged from a mental hospital has repeatedly threatened my life and my husband's life. Adding, "We both fear for our safety and the safety of our children."
Hobbs has been making threatening posts on Hannigan's Facebook page and on her fan website.
On January 5, he wrote, "Alyson Lee Hannigan-Denisof, IF you really have any questions for me today. I'll be happy to answer them for you. I'm the guy on planet Earth that likes you and love you so much. I can marry you or kill you tomorrow..."
The line referencing "marry you or kill you tomorrow" was echoed in two other posts by Hobbs. Hobbs resides in Nashua, New Hampshire but the restraining order was taken out with the Los Angeles Superior Court in response to his posts about plans to take a trip to California where Hannigan lives.
"Hey folks in CA, I'm giving you warning. I'm going there sometime this year. Be on the lookout for a man that likes and loves Alyson Hannigan. Gee Aly, I think I just joined the human race dear. :)"
The Nashua cops have already visited Hobbs home and convinced him to talk to a mental health clinician. Hobbs is not allowed within 100 feet of her, her husband and her two children and he must refrain from online post referencing her and her family. The ironic part of this sad situation is that one of Hobbs friends posted a message online warning him about this very situation.
Jen Malonson writes, "the way you are going John she will in all reality put a restraining order on you due to the fact of stalking and she can put into terms that she is in fear for her life due to you, take head, in my advice, I do know what I am talking about, no one in their life needs any legal issues in their life, trust me."
