The woman accused of stalking former Fleetwood Mac star and guitarist Lindsey Buckingham has finally broken her silence on the bizarre incident.
The two-time Grammy Award winner was attacked in Los Angeles last week by a woman who threw a powder-like substance at him.
Police have not publicly identified any suspects, but Michelle Dick, who was previously accused of stalking, harassing and threatening to kill Buckingham and her family, admitted to local TV station KTLA that she contacted Buckingham last week.
When asked if she had visited his Brentwood home before, she told the outlet, “Once, that was last year. But I didn’t know there was a restraining order on me. He wasn’t a father to me, but he is my birth father.”
according to fox news digital, Buckingham filed a request for a restraining order against Dick in December 2024.
“I fear that his conduct could be physically dangerous to me and my family,” Buckingham wrote in the petition.
Buckingham revealed that Dick allegedly began harassing Buckingham in 2021, when he “got hold of my wife Kristen’s business cell phone number and would sometimes call the number dozens of times a day, leaving long messages claiming she was my baby and threatening to kill me and my family.”
The musician continued, “She also blamed me for the facial disfigurement she suffered as a child and demanded money. I do not know Ms. Dick and I am not her father.”
In September 2024, Dick was detained and interrogated for a sit-in outside Buckingham’s home, at which point he told police that the rock star was his biological father and that he had “smothered him as a child”.
A few weeks later, in November, Buckingham said that “about a dozen police woke her up from her sleep. When I opened the door, I was handcuffed and told to get out of my house. The reason given was that a 9-1-1 call was received stating that my son William was in my house and committing suicide, and that the caller had heard gunshots.”
“She’s clearly mentally incompetent and harbors delusions, which makes her scary and unpredictable to me,” Buckingham said.
A Los Angeles County Superior Court judge granted the restraining order, stating that Dick must stay at least 100 yards away from Lindsey Buckingham and her family.
