Fleetwood Mac legend Lindsey Buckingham faces a temporary restraining order from his wife of 43 years, Kristen Buckingham, following her harrowing claims of a violent assault. Los Angeles Superior Court documents reveal a disturbing picture of domestic chaos for the 81-year-old Rock & Roll Hall of Famer.
Kristen, 72, alleges her husband punched her face repeatedly, slammed her head against a wall, and threatened her life on March 27 at their Brentwood home. “He said he was going to kill me,” she declares, describing how the Fleetwood Mac icon grabbed her neck amid escalating fury—court records confirm her as the victim, dispelling early confusion with stalker Michelle Dick reports or Mick Fleetwood ties. The argument erupted over household disputes; she fled to a neighbor, dialed 911, and sought treatment for bruises, a black eye, and neck trauma. Police responded without arrests, prompting her celebrity restraining order for protection—Lindsey now bars from contact or their home, with a hearing next week.
This Lindsey Buckingham domestic violence bombshell revives Fleetwood Mac’s infamous saga of breakups and reconciliations, echoing his 2018 band firing and “Go Your Own Way” legacy. His team states, “We are reviewing the matter,” as he remains silent publicly. Fans flood social media with support for Kristen and concern for his well-being, highlighting rock stardom’s hidden toll.
