Furthermore, Bryant claims that the stalker is under a delusion that she is dating him when he received the TRO last month.
She defined his actions to be ‘unsettling.’ Additionally, she says that at one point Kemp got in touch with her eyebrow stylist and offered to pay for styling the 19-year-old’s eyebrows.
Also, she revealed that the man began contacting her two years ago in 2020. She was just 17 years old at that time.
In the documents, ‘Bryant said, ‘[Kemp]’s extreme, outrageous, and escalating course of conduct has seriously alarmed, harassed and distressed me.’
She continued, ‘I am terrified that [he] is trying to find me to make in-person contact with me at my school, my home, etc., and is stalking me.’
Bryant then went on to state, ‘I do not feel safe.’
During the testimony, Bryant said, ‘I was in fear, for the longest time. That if I did block him, he would act in rage or get angry.’

Moreover, the temporary restraining order says that Kemp must now stay 200 yards away from ‘Bryant, her home, her workplace, her school, her vehicle and sorority house, and the USC campus.’
Also, the documents noted that Kemp is ‘an online gun enthusiast.’
