Jennifer Aniston’s secret stalker terror REVEALED: The haunting details that left her ‘fearing for her life’
Jennifer Aniston’s obsessed and ‘delusional’ stalker has been sent for mental health treatment after a terrifying campaign of harassment.
The instances include an avalanche of sickening text messages, which only ended after he smashed his car into the gate of her Bel-Air mansion.
On October 3 and 15, Aniston’s attorney revealed in court for the first time that she is still living in fear of Jimmy Wayne Carwyle, 49, who threatened to rape her.
He sent texts to Aniston and her associates, managers and others in her circle, claiming she was his wife and saying he wanted to impregnate her with three of his children.
In another ominous message, he wrote: ‘I’ll rip your head off and sh*t down your throat.’

Bespectacled and unshaven, Carwyle appeared before Los Angeles Superior Court in Hollywood on Wednesday wearing yellow prison garb to hear his fate from Judge Maria Cavalluzzi.
He was charged with felony stalking and felony vandalism – with the aggravating circumstance of the threat of great bodily harm – following the terrifying May 5 event. Aniston was only feet away inside her luxury hilltop home when the crash occurred. The home is protected by 24-hour security.
Carwyle was wrestled to the ground by guards immediately after the incident.
Prosecutors accused him of repeatedly harassing his victim from March 1, 2023 with unwanted social media, voicemail and email messages.
Carwyle, who has a history of methamphetamine and alcohol abuse, had driven from his home in New Albany, Mississippi, and had previously attempted to get to his intended victim several times before being apprehended.
Shackled with his wrists behind his back, he had been deemed mentally unfit to stand trial by experts. He faces up to three years in state prison if convicted as charged.
A report by the LA County Probation Department – filed in the months after Carwyle’s arrest and while his case was being assessed – determined he was ‘not a substantial danger’ and recommended he serve 90 days in county jail if found guilty at trial, meaning he would have been released with time served.
Carwyle stood inside a glass enclosure in the courtroom as he was ordered by Judge Cavalluzzi to enter a two-year mental health community treatment center in Los Angeles.
He must also wear an ankle monitor with GPS tracking, remain at least one mile away from Aniston’s residence, and stay away from the actress and her associates.
But Deputy District Attorney William Donovan and Aniston’s attorney Blair Berk expressed concern that Carwyle would be able to escape from the unlocked facility and continue to target her.
In an earlier written motion, Donovan suggested there is a potential future threat to Aniston from Carwyle, stating ‘harm done to the victim isn’t physical yet’ and that he will ‘undoubtedly make attempts to go back to her home.’
Public Defender Robert Krauss called Donovan’s claim ‘all guess work,’ noting his client does not have any previous, serious criminal convictions.
‘[Aniston’s] fear is not the issue,’ Krauss said in court. ‘His actions and his illness are the issue. Alleged fear is not evidence.’
Still, Donovan said in court that Carwyle should be locked up in a state hospital.
He argued that Carwyle had a ‘long history of having stalked the victim,’ and said that ‘very likely, it would have gone a lot further.’
Donovan added that Carwyle has ‘made his intent clear in what he wants to do. The dangerous risk comes from Mr Carwyle and his obsession with the victim.
‘[Carwyle is] still holding on to this very fixed delusion that he needs to be with the victim.’
As recently as August 5, Carwyle was wanting to stay ‘in California to see his wife… the victim,’ Donovan said in court.
He continued, adding that Carwyle maintains a ‘persistent delusion’ and requires ‘aggressive reality testing.’ Donovan said Carwyle will ‘continue to be a danger’ and that ‘there’s nothing stopping him walking out and leaving [the facility] on his own accord.
Judge Cavalluzzi called Carwyle’s messages to Aniston ‘very, very concerning’ and ‘frightening.’
Carwyle had four hunting permits for firearms use with him when he was arrested.

Berk also spoke to the court on behalf of Aniston, saying her client has a ‘right to be reasonably protected’ from Carwyle.
‘Mr Carwyle traveled thousands of miles after sending messages to Ms Aniston and her representatives – not just to make contact but to commit wrongs against her, sexual violence against her,’ Berk said.
She added that he had made it clear ‘he was coming for her.’
Berk noted that Carwyle had said ‘he loved her and ‘We want to rape each other.’
‘She is in reasonable fear of Mr Carwyle attempting to harm her.
‘Mr Carwyle has demonstrated he knows where Ms Aniston resides and is willing to take physical steps to carry out his wishes.’
Berk said he was ‘persistent in his delusion and violently drove his vehicle through her gate. He came very close to harming or killing others.
‘It is absolutely clear that his attention was to get with her.’
She echoed Donovan’s concern about Carwyle going ‘AWOL’ from the community treatment center with ‘no one there to stop him from traveling those few miles’ to Aniston’s home.
Berk declined the Daily Mail’s request for comment after Wednesday’s hearing.
In an earlier hearing, Carwyle said the anti-psychotic medications prescribed by psychiatrists are ‘keeping me focused,’ adding that he ‘wasn’t right in the head’ at the time of the incident.
When asked by Judge Cavalluzzi if he was ‘feeling better’ Carwyle said, ‘Yes, I am.’
When asked about his obsession with Aniston, he said, ‘That’s in the past. She’s herself and I’m here.’
The judge acknowledged the stalking had caused a ‘lot of concern’ to Aniston and that she suffered ’emotional harm.’
‘I have no doubt Ms Aniston is in fear in this situation,’ she said. ‘I can’t imagine the fear she felt when someone came barrelling through her gate and nearly got to her.’
But she said Carwyle ‘doesn’t pose a reasonable risk of danger’ if he complies with the program.
‘You’re not going to leave the program without permission?’ the judge asked Carwyle.
He said, ‘No, ma’am.’
Carwyle has been taking psychotropic drugs orally since May while in custody.

Dr Tracy Ogendele, a psychologist involved with his case, said he has ‘been doing great.’
‘We will continue working on his delusions and reality testing,’ she told the court. ‘He understands he cannot go back to the victim’s house.
‘Right now, he is stable. He is medication compliant. I don’t think it’s necessary to send him to a locked facility.’
When asked by Berk why the mental health team treating Carwyle had not yet probed him in detail about his obsession with Aniston, Ogendele said, ‘We’re not going to open Pandora’s box.’
His estranged wife, Julia Carwyle, 48, exclusively told the Daily Mail in May, a few days after his arrest, that ‘He believes he was Jesus Christ and that she was supposed to be his queen.’
‘His mentality is nothing like it used to be,’ she said at the time. ‘Something has triggered him. I don’t know if he’s having a midlife crisis or what… [or if something] manifested that we’re all not aware of.
‘It’s something that’s between him and his maker. Mental illness is real. It does not discriminate. He’s going through a lot right now.’
