Aaron Donald is a huge man, but he needs the law’s help to keep a woman away from him.
The retired defensive tackle has been forced to file for a restraining order to keep a woman away from him and his family.
TMZ reported that Donald got an order this week from a woman he says has “been harassing, stalking, and threatening him and his family for several years.”
Donald filed for the TRO in Los Angeles County on Tuesday that alleged Janelle Anwar has been terrorizing him since 2020.
His petition revealed that he had never met the woman, but that had not stopped her from repeatedly sending packages, gifts, and messages.
Aaron Donald also claimed that Anwar, who he believes is between 30 and 40 years old, believes she is actually married to him. She even filed for a dissolution action against him last month, demanding $1,500 per month and a “‘settlement’ of $6.5 million.”
Anwar “is delusional,” he wrote in his court filing, “and I fear that [her] delusions will lead to her attempting to harm me, my wife, my children, and my brother.”

What is even more disturbing is that Donald wrote that Anwar recently threatened his 3-year-old son’s life in a Google Chat.
He went on to share screenshots of the alleged paperwork, which included a $5 Zelle payment he says she sent him alongside a caption that read “I love you.”
Judge Grants Restraining Order For Aaron Donald

Mere hours after Aaron Donald filed for a restraining order, it would be granted to him by a judge.
