Kobe Bryant’s eldest daughter, Natalia Bryant, is seeking protection from the courts and LAPD after discovering she has a gun-obsessed stalker.
Who Is Stalking Natalia Bryant?
According to TMZ, Natalia went to the courthouse this week to get a restraining order against 32-year-old, Dewayne Kemp, who is accused of stalking her. Apparently, he has been trying to contact her and build a relationship for the past two years. Natalia says that he believes that they are in a relationship despite the fact that they have never met or had any contact.
The alleged stalker, Dewayne Kemp, has done just about everything to get in touch with Natalia, including showing up at her sorority house at USC, and was allegedly walking around campus and showed up at her class. Natalia says that she is living in constant fear because he is trying everything in his power to contact her.

But that’s not all….
According to the documents obtained by TMZ, Kemp is in the process of buying at least one gun and “has threatened to buy both an AK-47 and a fully automatic Glock”, and he has been arrested and/or convicted of four crimes, one including a firearm.
Natalia also claims that he sent her a DM with an image of her late father, Kobe Bryant, and wrote,
Thankful For Him Birthing You, Hopefully We Can Birth Himβ¦ ‘Kobe’

The documents also go on to say that he had the hopes of having “a Kobe-like child together”, as if this situation wasn’t creepy enough.
The LAPD is on the case and are hoping that a restraining order can be put in place.Β Natalia is asking the court to “order the man to stay at least 200 yards away from her, her home, her job, her school, her sorority house and her car.”
The case now is in the judge’s hands to make a decision.
