Retired Los Angeles Rams star defensive tackle Aaron Donald was granted a temporary restraining order on Tuesday against a woman he claims has harassed and stalked him and his family since 2020.
Donald, 33, filed a request for a civil harassment restraining order against Janelle Anwar in Los Angeles County Central District Court, which was obtained by The Athletic.

According to Donald, the harassment began with threatening emails in 2020 and has since escalated to sending him packages and gifts and stalking him. In March, the filing states, Anwar sent messages to Donald via Google Chat threatening the life of his 3-year-old son Aaric.
In his petition, Donald states he has never met Anwar, but she believes they are married. The petition says Anwar filed for dissolution of marriage from Donald last month, seeking spousal support of $1,500 and a “settlement” of $6.5 million. Donald claims he was not served the petition and is only aware of it since he was notified by the NFL security office.
The order protects Donald, his wife, brother and four children. Anwar must stay at least 100 yards away from Donald and his family and she is prohibited from contacting Donald, harassing him and owning firearms. A hearing is scheduled for May 7.
Donald announced his retirement from the NFL in March 2024. He was a Pro Bowler in each of his 10 NFL seasons with the Rams, a three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year and winner of Super Bowl LVI.

Minnesota Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy: ‘I know I’m ready to start’
<!--> After letting Sam Darnold walk — despite leading them to a 14-3 season and throwing for 4,319 yards and 35 touchdowns — the Minnesota Vikings are all in on quarterback J.J. McCarthy.McCarthy didn't play in his rookie season due to a meniscus tear that he suffered in the preseason.

PSG coach Luis Enrique wary of Arsenal’s comeback ability: ‘This is a team who can completely rewrite history’
Getty Images LONDON -- Luis Enrique warned his Paris Saint-Germain side not to let their guard down "for a second" at the Parc des Princes or they risk finding themselves back at square one in their Champions League semifinal against Arsenal.Ousmane Dembele's fourth-minute strike was enough to hand PSG control of the tie at the Emirates Stadium, but they may yet come to rue the pair of late misses from Bradley Barcola and Goncalo Ramos that cost them the chance to get out of sight in this tie. Certainly, after an impressive opening 20 minutes, it seemed that that was exactly what the French champions would do, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia devastating down the left flank and Vitinha bossing the midfield.Arsenal regrouped, however, and came close to equalizing on several occasions: Mikel Merino just offside when heading in, Gabriel Martinelli twice going […]
