Jacob Elordi, star of HBO’s hit teen drama series “Euphoria,” has reportedly filed a temporary restraining order on an alleged male stalker.
According to The Blast, Elordi filed court documents in Los Angeles Superior Court on March 13 requesting a temporary restraining order against his alleged stalker, Robert Dennis Furo, 61. In the filing, Elordi alleges that Furo is the same individual who was sentenced to six months in rehab in 2007 after breaking into Nicolas Cage’s home and waking him up while he was wearing nothing but one of the actor’s leather coats. Elordi is only seeking protection for himself and claims he has been harassed by Furo and suffers from emotional distress as a result. The filing details a harrowing account from Elordi, who says he was walking his dog with a friend on February 5 when Furo came to his house and left pastries. Elordi said that he threw the pastries away because he didn’t know who they were from, and alleges that’s when he encountered Furo, who forced his way into his backyard and began shouting his name and causing a disturbance.
“I am an actor known best for my starring role on the HBO series ‘Euphoria,'” the temporary restraining order states. “On February 5, 2023, I left my residence in Hollywood to take my dog on a walk with my friend Charlie Oldman. When we returned from the walk, I saw a plastic bag filled with pastries hanging from the street-facing side gate of my house. Not knowing who it belonged to or why it was hanging from my gate, I took the bag down from the gate and put it in my trash bin behind the gate. About five minutes later, I heard a man yelling my name. The man entered through two side gates and was in my backyard. He was yelling my name and telling me ‘to come out here, you creep.'”
The filing continues to detail the aforementioned encounter, during which Furo allegedly screamed outside of Elordi’s Hollywood home that he “knew I was in the house,” and that “he loved me and that he was happy to have seen my “‘stupid, ugly face.'” Elordi said Furo finally left through side gates at his home after he asked him to leave “many times.” Furo, who Elordi says he has never met, reportedly showed up at the Australian-bred actor’s residence again weeks later and was purportedly caught by security cameras entering the property three times within a 30-minute period.
According to Elordi’s filing, Furo allegedly left flowers, candy, and a chilling handwritten note in which he apologized for their previous encounter.
“My security camera captured Mr. Furo entering through my side gate three times within a 30-minute period,” Elordi’s filing states. “He brought with him a bouquet of roses and bag of candies, which he left in my backyard, along with a handwritten note which read: ‘Jacob, I wanted to apologize for 3 sat. ago. Was hoping to catch you in. Wanted you to tell me if you have been sending. I found you on a beautiful Saturday afternoon quite organically without address without getting lost like this time. Would it be possible if you could call. My hands are shaking. Bobby Furo. (XXX) XXX-XXXX.'”
Elordi went on to state that he believes Furo is “watching, or monitoring my residence, and or somehow tracking my location, given that he did not attempt to visit my residence until I returned from my work trip.” He also explained that he has “never shared my home address or the location of my residence with Mr. Furo,” because he attempts to “keep my home address private,” and has no clue “how he obtained my home address.”
A judge signed off on the temporary restraining order, which calls for Furo to stop trying to contact Elordi and stay at least 100 yards away from him, his house, car, and job.
