Natalia Bryant, daughter of late Kobe Bryant, files restraining order request against alleged stalker
Bryant says the man started to send her messages on social media when she was a minor
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Natalia Bryant, the 19-year-old daughter of the late Kobe Bryant, filed for a temporary restraining order request in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Monday, claiming a 32-year-old man with a rap sheet has been stalking her since she was a minor.
Bryant accused Dwayne Kemp of messaging her on social media since December 2020 "as if we had a romantic relationship, or as if he wanted to initiate such a relationship," according to court documents obtained by Fox News Digital. She says she does not know Kemp.
Bryant says Kemp tried to find her on the University of Southern California campus. The documents say Kemp is a "gun enthusiast" and "has been arrested for misdemeanors involving a firearm" and that Bryant is "terrified" he’s trying to make in-person contact with her.
