NBC Carson Daly with the coaches during Season 21 finale of "The Voice"
Days ahead of her return to “The Voice” with a performance on the upcoming finale, Kelly Clarkson requested a restraining order against a woman who continually showed up at her home despite the singer’s security team turning her away many times. Multiple outlets have reported that Clarkson was granted the restraining order on December 9, 2022, against the trespasser and alleged stalker. Here’s what you need to know:
Obsessed Fan Has Shown Up to Kelly Clarkson’s Home At Least 18 Times

TMZ was the first to obtain court documents filed by Clarkson’s attorney, Ed McPherson, requesting a restraining order against 56-year-old Huguette Young. Clarkson’s head of security, Michael Lopez, claims in the filing that the woman has appeared outside Clarkson’s home at least 18 times, leaving gifts and notes for the singer on her porch, including dog toys, stickers, plants and seeds.
Another security guard once confronted Young, informing her she was trespassing and had been caught on security cameras. The court filing says the woman apologized but kept returning despite the warning.
Clarkson is not only worried about her own safety, but also asked that the restraining order protect her family, her nanny, and her house manager. Clarkson has two kids — eight-year-old River Rose, who joined her mom last week at the People’s Choice Awards, and six-year-old Remington Alexander. She shares custody of the kids with her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock.
Clarkson’s filing asked that Young be kept at least a football field away from her home, job, and children’s school. A judge granted the restraining order and a trial will be held later in December.
Clarkson bought her 5,000-square-foot, five-bedroom Los Angeles mansion in 2021, according to E! News, for $5.5 million.
