Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase is seeking court-ordered protection against a woman who is harassing him and his family, according to a statement from his attorneys that one of them provided to Enquirer media partner FOX19.

Fox19 contacted California attorney Michael Goldstein in light of a report by TMZ stating Chase filed court documents in Los Angeles for a temporary restraining order against Ambar Hunter, with whom Chase says he had a one-night stand.

Here is the statement from Goldstein and Chase’s other attorney, Jason Lambert, in its entirety:

“Earlier today Mr. Chase filed a restraining order in Los Angeles County in connection with Ms. Hunter’s ongoing harassment of Mr. Chase and his family since 2021. After exhausting every out-of-court remedy, he was left with no other option. Mr. Chase intends to use all legal options to protect himself and family from this unwarranted harassment. We have no further comment while this matter is pending.”

Reporters are working to obtain the court records and will update this story as more information becomes available.

TMZ obtained court records they say show Chase claims the woman is behind an “unhinged and disturbing” pattern of harassment aimed at him and his mother, primarily on social media. Chase claims in court records she started threatening them after he refused to continue their relationship after a single night of romance in July 2021.

He also alleges she has been trying to damage his reputation, brand and corporate sponsorships through “calculated and ongoing harassment,” according to the TMZ story. Chase accuses Hunter of posting false statements about him being a deadbeat dad in order to sic her 18,000 followers on him and his mom and negatively impact his NFL career.

She’s even gone so far as to post his and his mother’s personal cell phone numbers on Instagram, which he says led to tons of harassing calls and texts, according to the report.

Hunter could not be immediately reached for comment.

Her Instagram account appears to have either been deleted or hidden.
