Cindy Crawford, along with her daughter, Kaia Gerber, have taken a legal step to protect themselves from an alleged stalker. The court granted them longer-term restraining orders against the man they say has been relentlessly targeting them.In a welcome turn of events, the judge signed off on orders obliging the alleged perpetrator to stay at least 100 yards away from their homes, workplaces, vehicles, and other protected locations-a sure signal that their concerns were taken seriously.Kaia Gerber and Cindy Crawford Win Court Order Against Alleged StalkerCindy Crawford and Kaia Gerber are both publicized individuals who have had to deal with what they claim to be an obsessive stalker, known as Daniel Lee Schoonover in court documents. Before the recent court ruling, Crawford had claimed that Schoonover had shown up at her house, even attending her daughter's theatre performance in Massachusetts.Filings by Gerber said the man "continued to make threatening, sexually graphic and extremely concerning comments" on her Instagram page, in spite of an earlier protective order she secured against him.The restraining orders, which run through October 7, 2028, also require Schoonover to surrender any firearms within 24 hours, court documents show.The case caught the public's eye not because of the high-profile names, but because it raises the issue of stalking and personal safety for celebrities who live much of their lives in public view. The decision to go to court by Crawford and Gerber underlines how public figures can experience very real threats to their privacy and well-being and how legal protections can play an important role. The media could sensationalize several elements-most notably, mansions and celebrity status-but the real issue is simply one of a family seeking protection and reassurance that the law may have something to offer in terms of establishing boundaries. Ultimately, what this order does is grant Cindy Crawford and Gerber much-needed breathing space. It isn't going to eradicate trauma or the fear that's associated with being followed or harassed, but at least it formalizes protection and sets in place legal consequences should the stalker decide to violate those terms. To them, it means being able to sleep a little easier, and that does matter.
