Actress Nia Long has asked a Los Angeles court for a temporary restraining order against a woman she alleges stalked and harassed her for more than two years, according to court filings and media reports.
Long filed the request earlier this week, identifying the respondent as Carrie McDonald. The actress alleges McDonald repeatedly attempted to contact her and appeared outside her home while claiming they were romantically involved. Long states in the filing that she does not know McDonald.
Documents obtained by TMZ describe a pattern of unwanted communication that included gifts and physical visits. Long alleges McDonald sent flowers, greeting cards, and packages over several months. The deliveries were unsolicited and continued despite no relationship between the two.
According to the complaint, the situation escalated when McDonald began appearing at Long’s residence. Long claims McDonald visited the property on multiple occasions. The most recent incident occurred Saturday, when the woman allegedly rang the doorbell and remained outside the home.

Long states she contacted law enforcement after the encounter. Police responded and arrested the woman at the scene.
The filing also references a prior incident in 2024. Long alleges McDonald appeared outside the residence late at night and demanded she open the door. Officers responded at the time and issued what Long described as a “strong warning” to the woman.
Despite that warning, Long alleges the conduct continued.
In her request for court protection, Long asked the judge to extend the restraining order to cover her two children and her mother. The actress argued the alleged behavior created safety concerns for her family.
The court declined to issue a temporary restraining order immediately. Instead, the judge scheduled a hearing in April to determine whether a protective order should be granted.
Until the hearing occurs, Long’s request for court protection remains pending. The case highlights ongoing legal challenges public figures face when alleged stalking escalates into safety threats.
