Michelle Dick, who was previously accused of stalking former Fleetwood Mac guitarist Lindsey Buckingham and making threats against him, is speaking out after the star was attacked in Los Angeles. Police have not publicly identified a suspect. 

On Wednesday, the two-time Grammy Award winner, 76, was attacked by a woman when he showed up for an appointment in Santa Monica, Calif., according to NBC4 Investigates. The alleged suspect, who authorities described as "a stalking suspect," threw an unknown substance at Buckingham and immediately fled, the outlet reported.

Dick — who claims Buckingham is her biological father — told KTLA on Wednesday that she had approached Buckingham last week and had previously gone to his Brentwood home. 

In court documents obtained by Fox News Digital, Buckingham filed a request for a restraining order against Dick in December 2024. 

"I am afraid her conduct may escalate into something physically dangerous to me and my family," Buckingham wrote in the petition.

The harassment began in 2021 when Dick allegedly got "ahold of my wife Kristen's business cell phone number and called the number dozens of times a day sometimes, leaving long drawn-out messages that included the claim that she was my child and threats to kill me and my family," Buckingham stated in the petition. 

"She also blamed me for facial deformities she apparently suffered as a child and demanded money. I do not know Ms. Dick and I am not her father," he added. 

While the harassment seemed to quiet down for two years, Dick made movement in 2024.

In September of that year, Dick allegedly taped a piece of paper to Buckingham's California residence with a photographic collage of herself and Buckingham.

One day later, Dick was pulled over for sitting outside Buckingham's home. As officers detained and questioned her, Dick stated that Buckingham was her birth father and had "suffocated her as a child."

On Nov. 3, Buckingham stated he was "awoken out of sleep by nearly a dozen police persons. When I answered the door, I was handcuffed and asked to step outside of my house. The reason given was that a 9-1-1 call had been received stating that my son William was in my house and suicidal and that the caller had heard gunshots."

The detective assigned to the case, Det. Marisol Landeros, stated that she believed Dick to be "mentally unstable and dangerous."

"She is clearly mentally unfit and harbors delusions which makes her scary to me and unpredictable," Buckingham added. 

A Los Angeles County Superior Court judge granted the restraining order, which states that Dick stay at least 100 yards away from Buckingham and his family. She was also ordered not to harass or attempt to make contact with him in any way.

On Wednesday, LAPD officials confirmed to Fox News Digital that they're coordinating efforts with SMPD.

"The Los Angeles Police Department’s Threat Management Unit is working with the Santa Monica Police Department to investigate this incident," officials said. "To protect the integrity of the open and ongoing investigation, no further comment will be provided at this time."

Buckingham has been married to photographer Kristen Messner since 2000, and the couple share three children.

The musician first gained attention in the early 1970s as part of the duo Buckingham Nicks with Stevie Nicks, but his career took off when both joined Fleetwood Mac in 1975.

Beyond Fleetwood Mac, he's built a respected solo career. Buckingham is known for his experimental edge, cementing his status as one of rock's finest musicians.
