Alyson Hannigan and husband Alexis Denisof
Alyson Hannigan, one of the stars of the hit CBS comedy "How I Met Your Mother," has obtained a restraining order after death threats to the actress and her family.
Hannigan, who earlier gained fame on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and the "American Pie" films, claims a Nashua, N.H., man has repeatedly threatened to kill her and husband, actor Alexis Denisof, in online postings.
According to court documents published by E! Channel, Hannigan stated that 43-year-old John Hobbs is "mentally unstable," has possessed a pistol permit since 2000 and was recently discharged from a mental hospital.
"In 2013 I still can marry you tomorrow," Hobbs stated in a Facebook posting. "I can kill you tomorrow too. Cause I simply like and love you as you live life. Aly... It doesn't end. Even after death."
A judge has ordered that Hobbs must stay at least 100 yards away from Hannigan, Denisof and their two daughters. He is banned from posting anything about them online.
Police had gone to Hobbs' home in New Hampshire, where he acknowledged his interest in Hannigan, and agreed to go to a mental health clinic, though he indicated he still planned to visit her in California, according to the New York Daily News.
