In light of such concerning reports, Natalia has requested a restraining order against the stalker. The judge is yet to provide a ruling on this case. The alleged stalker is a 32-year-old man who goes by the name Dwayne Kemp. In her statements, Natalia claims that Kemp had tried to contact her a few years ago. She was a minor back then and has never met or made contact with Kemp. According to Kobe Bryant’s daughter, Kemp thinks that they are in a romantic relationship.
