Judge Extends Natalia Bryant’s Restraining Order, Adds Protection for Mother and Sisters

The expanded order reflects filings that describe an August breach plus heightened risk based on the respondent’s firearm-related activity.

Overview

  • A judge ruled Monday to continue the civil harassment order for the foreseeable future, with reporting describing it as a five-year extension.
  • The modification adds Vanessa Bryant and daughters Bianka and Capri as protected people covered by the distance restrictions.
  • Court filings allege Dwayne Kemp attended an August 24 event organized by Bryant, brought flowers, and tried to route them through her mother after failing to reach her.
  • According to the filings, Kemp told security he recognized the conduct would violate the order but claimed he believed the order had expired.
  • Bryant first obtained the order in December 2022 after unwanted contact dating to 2020, with filings citing social-media posts involving firearms, a reported attempt to obtain a Glock-switch, and prior arrests or convictions.
