Kobe Bryant’s eldest daughter, Natalie Bryant, is reportedly seeking a restraining order against Dwayne Kemp, a man she alleges is obsessed with her and continues to stalk her.

Kemp has been convicted of at least four crimes — one of which involves firearms — and court documents reveal he is a gun enthusiast who is in the process of buying a gun, according to TMZ. Kemp  began contacting Bryant two years ago, and she claims he has a delusion that they are involved in a romantic relationship, yet she says she has never met him before, according to TMZ.

The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed Kemp’s criminal history and are concerned about Bryant’s well being, noting that Kemp has been putting significant effort into locating Bryant’s whereabouts, according to TMZ.

Bryant sought a restraining order in court Monday, stating that she is living in constant fear. Bryant alleges that 32-year old Kemp began stalking her when he was 30-years-old and she was only 17. She alleges he has showed up at her sorority house at USC in search of her, according to TMZ.

Sources close to the situation confirmed he also showed up at one of her classes and was seen roaming the building. (RELATED: REPORT: Famous Singer Jack Johnson Takes Legal Action Against Alleged Female Stalker)

 

Bryant said Kemp sent her a direct message on social media that included a photo of her father Kobe Bryant, and an eerie note.

“Thankful For Him Birthing You, Hopefully We Can Birth Him… ‘Kobe'”, Kemp reportedly wrote, according to TMZ. Bryant alleges he also added a red heart to the message. Court documents indicated he also told Bryant he hopes to have “a Kobe-like child together,” according to TMZ.

The Los Angeles Police Department supports a restraining order being put in place. Bryant is requesting Kemp be restricted to staying at least 200 yards away from her, in any location she may appear, including her home, her job, her school, her sorority house and also her car, according to TMZ.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
