2:49 PM PT — A judge has just granted Ja’Marr Chase‘s request for a temporary restraining order against his alleged harasser … ordering the woman to stay at least 100 yards away from the football player and his mom.
According to court documents, a hearing on if the TRO will become a permanent one has been set for Sept. 7.
6:52 AM PT — 8/16 — Ja’Marr Chase‘s attorneys, Jason Lampert and Michael Goldstein, released a statement to TMZ Sports on Tuesday’s filing … saying, “Earlier today Mr. Chase filed a restraining order in Los Angeles County in connection with Ms. Hunter’s ongoing harassment of Mr. Chase and his family since 2021.”
“After exhausting every out of court remedy, he was left with no other option. Mr. Chase intends to use all legal options to protect himself and family from this unwarranted harassment. We have no further comment while this matter is pending.”
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase, one of the best young players in the NFL, is seeking court-ordered protection from a woman he claims is harassing him and his mother.
Ja’Marr beelined it to court Tuesday to file for a temporary restraining order against a woman named Ambar Hunter, who he claims he had a one-night stand with.
In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Ja’Marr claims Ambar is behind an “unhinged and disturbing” pattern of harassment aimed at him and his mother … claiming she started threatening them after he refused to continue their relationship after a single night of romance.
Ja’Marr says he hooked up with Ambar way back in July 2021, and she’s since tried to damage his brand, reputation and corporate sponsorships through “calculated and ongoing harassment.”
The NFL All-Pro says Ambar mainly harasses him on social media, where she posts false statements about him being a deadbeat dad in order to sic her 18,000 followers on him and his mom.
Ja’Marr says they do not have a child together, as Ambar claims, and says she posts photos of another person’s child to make it seem like they have a kid. Ja’Marr says she’s refused to subject the kid to a DNA test.
What’s more, Ja’Marr claims Ambar is spinning a web of lies about being a victim of domestic violence … he says no law enforcement agency has found her to be credible.
Ja’Marr says Ambar is still ranting about him on social media as recently as this past July … even going so far as to post his and his mother’s personal cell phone numbers on Instagram, which he says led to tons of harassing calls and texts.
In the docs, Ja’Marr slams Ambar for what he says is an “ongoing harassment scheme” to harm him and negatively impact his NFL career … and he’s asking a judge to sign off on a temporary restraining order.
