Michelle Dick, the woman against whom the legendary former Fleetwood Mac member Lindsey Buckingham took out a restraining order, has spoken out following the musician’s recent attack in Santa Monica.
In case you missed it, Buckingham was entering a building for an appointment one morning when an unnamed woman, who was lying in wait inside, threw an unidentified substance at him in a surprise attack. While the suspect has not been publicly named, police have confirmed that they know her identity, as she has been involved in prior incidents with Buckingham. An arrest is reportedly forthcoming, though, at the time of writing, it does not seem to have occurred.
Dick Admitted to Approaching Buckingham Last Week
While Dick has not been named as the suspect in this incident, and while she has not admitted to any involvement in this case, she spoke with Los Angeles news affiliate KTLA5’s Sandra Mitchell in the wake of the news breaking, where she did admit to approaching the musician sometime last week.
She also revealed that sometime after the restraining order against her was granted, she returned to Buckingham’s home, “one time…last year.”
“But I didn’t know I had a restraining order on me,” she clarified. She also told the publication that she’s been living in her car.
Buckingham Has Had a Restraining Order Against Her for Over a Year
Buckingham was granted a temporary restraining order against then-52-year-old Dick in December of 2024, which ordered her to stay 100 yards away from not only him, but his wife Kristen and their son, William. It was quickly upgraded to a permanent restraining order, though it does expire in December 2029.
Dick allegedly started harassing the rocker and his family in 2021, tracking down all of their phone numbers and leaving threatening messages on a daily basis. She claims Buckingham is her father, and eventually started showing up at the home—and even reportedly once swatted the family.
