The court filing alleges that Julian Willis attempted to cause “significant harm” to her reputation by sending disturbing and defamatory messages to her family, staff, and colleagues.
Outgoing Rep. Katie Porter has received a temporary restraining order against her ex-boyfriend after she told a court that he had sent over a thousand messages to her, her family, and her staff, intending to cause “significant harm” to her image.
“He has already contacted at least three reporters to disseminate false and damaging information about me and my children,” she wrote. “As a prominent political figure, this threat poses a serious risk to my career and personal reputation.” “I have observed him misusing prescription painkillers, snorting Ritalin, and abusing cannabis and nicotine patches,” she wrote. “He has also previously disclosed to me his use of cocaine and nitrous oxide .”
Willis had told Porter that his goal was to push her into “prolonged psychiatric treatment,” threatening to “punish the fuck out of you,” according to the filing.
