Overview

• Grecia Figueroa filed the restraining-order request herself, alleging Lorena Gonzalez has led a smear campaign and incited followers to monitor and harass her.
• The court refused a temporary order, finding the filing did not show violence, threats, or a harassing course of conduct causing substantial emotional distress.
• Figueroa’s declaration cites social media posts, emails, and a claim that Gonzalez “wants blood,” which Gonzalez has publicly denied.
• Gonzalez, a former state assemblymember now leading the California Federation of Labor Unions, called Figueroa’s claims false and accused her of trying to ruin their family.
• The request follows last month’s dismissal of Figueroa’s 2023 harassment case, which she is appealing, while Nathan Fletcher’s defamation countersuit remains scheduled for trial next year.
