NBA star Miles Bridges has been granted a temporary restraining order against his ex-partner, Mychelle Johnson, after a series of alarming allegations that include cyberstalking, harassment, and an apparent attempt to tamper with his tires during a recent Charlotte Hornets game. The case adds another dramatic chapter to a relationship that has been under intense public scrutiny since 2022.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, a North Carolina judge ordered Johnson to stay at least 500 yards away from Bridges, his home, and all Hornets facilities. She is also prohibited from contacting or harassing Bridges, his girlfriend, or members of his legal team. The ruling comes after Bridges detailed a pattern of escalating behavior that he says has left him fearing for his safety and that of his family.
The filing paints a troubling picture. Bridges claims Johnson arrived at the Spectrum Center while intoxicated after leaving their four children with a nanny. She then allegedly booked a nearby hotel room and positioned someone in the arena lobby before reportedly hiding near Bridges' vehicle in an attempt to damage its tires while he was playing. Bridges noted that his girlfriend, Shara, and their children were expected to travel in that vehicle that night, adding in the filing that Johnson "knew those children had ridden in that vehicle" and "did not care."
This latest legal battle is just the most recent twist in a deeply contentious relationship that has followed Bridges throughout much of his NBA career. The Charlotte Hornets forward has remained under intense scrutiny since 2022, when Johnson publicly accused him of physically assaulting her in front of their children. Photos posted to social media at the time appeared to show visible injuries, including bruising and a broken nose. Bridges later pleaded no contest to a felony charge of injuring a child's parent and received probation, mandatory counseling, parenting classes, and a 10-year protective order as part of a plea agreement.
In the newly filed petition, Bridges accused Johnson of launching what he described as "a deliberate campaign of terror," including using fake phone numbers to send threatening messages. For fans following this saga, it's a sobering reminder of how off-court drama can overshadow on-court performance—and why staying focused on the game matters more than ever.
