When a relationship ends in the spotlight, things can spiral fast. But the allegations against Mychelle Johnson in her dispute with NBA star Miles Bridges paint a picture of conduct that goes well beyond the typical messy breakup—and a North Carolina judge apparently agreed.
Miles Bridges successfully petitioned for a temporary restraining order against his ex, with the judge ordering Mychelle to stay at least 500 yards away from Bridges, his home, and the Charlotte Hornets facilities. The directive also prohibits her from harassing Bridges, his girlfriend Shara, or engaging in cyberstalking. But the real story lies in what led to that order.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Bridges claims Mychelle showed up to one of his games at the Spectrum Center while intoxicated, abandoned their four children with a nanny, rented a hotel room nearby, positioned an accomplice in the lobby, and then crouched behind his parked car to tamper with the tires while he was on the court. Bridges emphasized in his petition that his girlfriend and their children together had ridden in that vehicle, noting that Mychelle“did not care”about the potential danger.
The allegations don’t stop there. Bridges claims Mychelle launched a cyberattack in the days following the game incident, creating a fake phone number to text him his home address as an intimidation tactic. She allegedly also impersonated another woman to his lawyer, claiming to be pregnant by the NBA star—a false claim that prompted Bridges’team to arrange a paternity test.
Adding another layer, Bridges says Mychelle told their children they couldn’t attend his NBA games because his girlfriend would be there, and that she’s told them he has no interest in seeing them—claims he insists are false. She’s also reportedly threatened to leak nude photos of him online. In his petition, Bridges described her conduct as a calculated campaign designed to terrorize him.
The restraining order represents a legal acknowledgment that something serious crossed a line. Mychelle has yet to respond to the allegations. What happens next remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: this dispute has moved well beyond custody disagreements and into territory that demands judicial intervention.
