As per News Nation, in the documents submitted to the court, Carpenter alleged, "His pattern of stalking, trespassing, and surveillance has caused me severe and ongoing emotional distress, and I am in fear [of] what he may do if he is not restrained by this Court."
One of the major incidents happened on May 23, when Applegate reportedly got into a neighboring property and tried approaching her residence and attempting to access the home. However, security personnel confronted him after he reached the front entrance.
She told the court that when the security questioned her, Applegate " made up the absurd lie that he knew me personally and that he was expected. This was a total fabrication."
"It is abundantly clear to me that his actions were planned, premeditated, and highly threatening. This is one of the most frightening invasions of my personal safety and privacy I have ever endured," she further stated.
Then authorities were eventually called to the scene, and Applegate was arrested on suspicion of trespassing. As per reports, she alleged that he returned to the area within days of the arrest, spending long periods near her property.
"The entire situation created by Applegate’s behavior has caused me to feel extremely fearful for my personal safety," Carpenter reportedly wrote. "The stalking, trespassing, and surveillance he conducted have caused me to experience intense emotional distress."
Carpenter is one of the most successful pop music icons who has given chart-topping hits such as Espresso, Please Please Please, Taste and Manchild.
