Pete Davidson has been granted court-ordered protection from superfan Michelle Mootreddy, after they trespassed in his Staten Island home.
The Saturday Night Live star has had a bizarre week, after he was the subject of a fake press release, claiming he married ‘childhood friend’ Mootreddy.
His fake wife now faces multiple felonies and misdemeanors, after being arrested Thursday for slipping into a side door at his house and sitting at a kitchen table, according to TMZ.

Mootreddy – who uses they/them pronouns – has been ordered to stay away from Davidson, 27, and three other people who live in the house, in addition to being barred from contacting them in any way or showing up at their homes or jobs.
They were arraigned Friday, and they’ve been charged with two felonies, burglary in the second and third degree, as well as two misdemeanor counts of stalking, two misdemeanor counts of criminal trespass and harassment.
Although the King of Staten Island actor was not home at the time of the trespassing, one of his relatives discovered the intruder and called the cops.
It comes after Mootreddy released a statement Tuesday via the production company Bodega Cats Presents, announcing that they had gotten married and launched the banner.
