Woman Linked to Lindsey Buckingham Restraining Order Speaks Out Post-Attack

In a troubling turn of events, Michelle Dick, a woman linked to Lindsey Buckingham through a restraining order, has spoken out following an attack on the musician. The incident occurred on March 25, 2025, in Santa Monica when Buckingham was approached by an assailant who threw an unidentified substance at him while he was arriving for an appointment.

Investigation Underway

Santa Monica police have confirmed that an active investigation is underway, being conducted in collaboration with the LAPD’s Threat Management Unit. Authorities have classified the woman involved in the attack as a stalking suspect, known to Buckingham from previous incidents involving both him and his family.

Background on the Restraining Order

Last year, Buckingham filed a restraining order against Dick, who claims he is her biological father. Court documents reveal that Dick had repeatedly shown up outside Buckingham’s home in Brentwood and had allegedly harassed his family. Reports indicate that she made alarming phone calls to his wife, Kristen Messner, including threats to her safety. On one occasion, a 911 call concerning an injury at Buckingham’s residence resulted in the guitarist being handcuffed by responding officers.

Previous Incidents

• Michelle Dick has been linked to multiple disturbances involving Lindsey Buckingham and his family.
• She previously stopped her harassment campaign against Buckingham’s family, leading them to refrain from pursuing criminal charges.
• A detective recommended the restraining order, citing concerns over Dick’s mental stability and her belief that Buckingham was her father.

Current Circumstances

Following the attack, Dick admitted to visiting Buckingham recently, stating that she was unaware of the restraining order filed against her. She claimed, “He wasn’t a father to me, but he’s my birth father.” Currently, Dick is living in her vehicle.
