Cindy Crawford and Kaia Gerber Secure Restraining Orders Against Stalker
Kaia Gerber and Cindy Crawford have obtained long-term restraining orders against an alleged stalker, providing them with increased security and peace of mind. The court approved their requests for protective measures against Daniel Lee Schoonover, a man who has been accused of stalking the mother-daughter duo.
Court’s Decision on Restraining Orders
A judge formally granted the restraining orders on November 8, 2025. The orders mandate Schoonover to maintain a distance of at least 100 yards from both Crawford and Gerber, as well as from their homes, workplaces, and vehicles.
Details Surrounding the Allegations
Schoonover was absent during the court hearing. The court documents also revealed that he must surrender a firearm he allegedly possesses within 24 hours. Additionally, Crawford’s restraining order includes her husband, Rande Gerber, as an additional protected individual.
Background of the Stalking Incidents
The issues began in mid-October when Crawford filed a restraining order after expressing concerns about Schoonover’s behavior. She reported that he had been loitering outside her home and even attended her daughter’s theater performance in Massachusetts.
- Crawford reported Schoonover knocked on her door.
- He inquired if Kaia lives at the residence.
- When informed that Kaia was not home, he left the premises.
Gerber took additional steps by filing an emergency protective order. However, it did not deter Schoonover from making “threatening, sexually graphic, and extremely concerning” comments. A concerning photograph allegedly shows Schoonover outside Crawford’s residence, wearing a black shirt and dark sunglasses.
Expiration of Restraining Orders
The restraining orders granted to Kaia Gerber and Cindy Crawford will remain effective until October 7, 2028. These actions aim to safeguard the well-being of both women and restore their sense of security in their daily lives.
