Ex-Red Hot Chili Peppers Guitarist John Frusciante: I’m Being Stalked

Woman has been aggressively pursuing permission to write film about his life

Published by


Former Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante has filed a request for a protective order from a female fan that he believes is stalking him.

According to Frusciante, a 32-year-old woman named August Elizabeth Thomas approached him last year hoping to secure rights to pen a screenplay based on his life. Though the guitarist declined, she persisted in seeking his approval with an aggressive campaign of rambling, “overly emotional” letters and emails. Thomas also showed up at several concerts to confront Frusciante about the script, and recently appeared twice at his home over the course of two days.

In his written request, Frusciante expressed a fear that she is “unstable” and “could snap at any moment.” He added that since he and his wife Nicole Turley are both musicians and play at venues around the world, it could become hard to avoid Thomas if she was free to continue her harassment. Both Frusciante and Thomas are due in court later this month.
