‘He’s my father!’ Alleged stalker speaks out after terrorizing Lindsey Buckingham family

The alleged stalker of rock band Fleetwood Mac’s former member Lindsey Buckingham said the musician may be her birth father and that she has had interactions with him in the past.

“One time, that was last year,” the alleged stalker said Wednesday. “But I didn’t know I had a restraining order on me. He wasn’t a father to me, but he’s my birth father.”

The stalker, identified by KTLA as 54-year-old Michelle Dick, admitted to the network that she had an encounter with guitarist and vocalist Buckingham on March 25 in Santa Monica but did not describe her actions as an attack.

Authorities say they are aware of Dick but have not arrested her.

In what appears to be a violation of a restraining order issued in 2024, a Los Angeles County judge ordered her to stay away from Buckingham. She admitted to approaching him in Santa Monica last week.

In the Santa Monica encounter, she is believed to have tossed an unknown substance on her alleged birth parent.

The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed to KTLA that an attack did happen in Santa Monica — adding only that its elite Threat Management Unit is now teaming up with the Santa Monica Police Department to probe the shocking incident.

“I do not know [Michelle] and I am not her father,” the 76-year-old musician has said in the past.

Buckingham has three children with his wife Kristen Messner. They welcomed their oldest child, son William, in 1998. William was followed by daughter Leelee, born in 2000, and younger daughter Stella, born in 2004.

Dick, the accused stalker, first began interacting with Buckingham in 2021, when she started calling the musician and his wife dozens of times, leaving long messages claiming to be his daughter.

During this initial period, she also threatened to kill the family, blamed Buckingham for facial deformities she said she suffered as a child, and demanded money.

In 2022, police officially instructed Michelle to cease contact with the family. While she stopped messaging the couple, she secretly continued to contact Buckingham’s son William.

The harassment intensified in 2024 when she sent Buckingham a photo collage of their faces, followed by an incident in September in which she showed up at his Los Angeles home and was intercepted by police.

In November 2024, Michelle escalated her tactics by “swatting” the family — making a false 911 report about gunshots and self-harm that resulted in police pulling a handcuffed Buckingham from his home.

Following this incident, Buckingham was granted a permanent restraining order against her in December 2024.

She was reportedly living in her car at the time of the most recent incident.
