One of Gwen Stefani‘s bandmates claims he is having some bother with a fella who thinks Heath Ledger remains to be kicking and dwelling on his property — and he is requested a decide for assist.
No Doubt bassist Tony Kanal filed for and obtained a short lived restraining order towards a man named George Leonardopoulos … whom Kanal says has terrorized his household for the previous few months with unannounced and unwelcome visits.
According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, Kanal claims Leonardopoulos has swung by his L.A.-area pad repeatedly since late January — even hopping a gate onto the property on one event.
On one such alleged drop-in from simply final week … Kanal claims Leonardopoulos got here to their entrance gate and buzzed the intercom, telling Kanal’s spouse that he used to reside there with the earlier proprietor of the property — and that particular person is Heath.
Kanal says he bought the home from HL in 2005 (earlier than the actor’s demise) and Leonardopoulos apparently lived on the home prior to now and bizarrely advised the Kanals he thinks Heath remains to be on the premises … and alive.
Even creepier … Leonardopoulos allegedly mentioned it was gravely necessary he be let in to pop into their storage so he may “wake” Heath — telling them if “you know what is good for you, you will let me in.” At least that is what Kanal is claiming right here in his TRO paperwork.
In addition to the alleged threats, Kanal says they’ve seen Leonardopoulos wielding a big stick and a knife and that they’ve known as the cops on him prior to now. Now, they’re asking for authorized assist in the type of a restraining order … they usually obtained it.
A decide signed off on Friday, and it is in impact till a listening to will be held later this month. Leonardopoulos has to remain 100 yards from the Kanal household and their grounds till this may be hashed out.
BTW … immediately marks what would’ve been Heath’s forty third birthday. Weird story, little doubt.
