WHEAT RIDGE, COLORADO: Golfer-turned-social media sensation Paige Spiranac is filing a restraining order against an obsessed fan, who has also been accused of stalking actress and director Olivia Wilde. The alleged stalker is among the Spiranac's 3.8 million Instagram followers.

According to Yahoo, Paige claims that she is being stalked by a 32-year-old man named Eric Fuhs who has been following her to tournaments. In the court documents, she says that she has become "extremely anxious and scared" as a result of the alleged stalking. The golf influencer felt so threatened that she approached the courts for protection.

'I am scared for my safety'

The fact that the man was accused of assault with a dangerous weapon in December 2022 in Los Angeles, California, and has a history of stalking and violence gave Paige even more cause to worry for her safety. According to court documents accessed by The Blast, she said, "Even though much of my career involves making public appearances, I have been scared to share my location with fans. I am scared for my safety." She added, "I am extremely troubled by Mr. Fuhs' delusional belief that he has been communicating with me. I fear that without a restraining order, Mr. Fuhs will continue to attempt to see me, particularly when I have to travel to the Los Angeles area for work." She continued by saying that because of his alleged surveillance of actress Olivia Wilde, Fuhs already has a legal restraining order against him. That restraining order will be in force until May 3, 2024,.

When the stalker followed Spiranac to Nevada

Paige reportedly believes that Fuhs followed her all the way to Nevada while she was competing in a golf competition in South Lake Tahoe in July 2022, despite the fact that he apparently lives in Los Angeles. The competition took place between July 4 and July 10. On July 9, she claimed that while warming up just before her scheduled tee time, a spectator approached her and requested a picture with her.

Paige snapped the photo, unaware that the spectator was really Fuhs. "I am informed that Mr Fuhs later posted that photograph on his social media and re-posted the picture as a 'throwback' on March 6, 2023," she wrote in the court filing. "After taking the photograph, Mr. Fuhs claimed that I had scammed him out of $10,000. Mr. Fuhs was acting in a hostile manner and I became fearful."

In order to make it to her planned tee time, Paige explained that she was puzzled because she had never met him before and called over her representative, Jerey Aisenberg. Paige says that she had never spoken to him before the golf tournament and had only ever taken one photo with him there. She stated in her letter, "I have no wish to visit Mr. Fuchs or speak with him. There is absolutely no justification or reasonable reason for him to get in touch with me."

Fuhs has currently been ordered to stay 100 yards away from Paige, her home, and her workplace, which includes "golf courses and other locations when she is making public appearances." A court hearing is scheduled for the month of July 2023.
