Fears are growing for the safety of the former Friends star Jennifer Aniston after her alleged stalker was released from jail. This came after months of deliberations on what to actually do with him.
Aniston’s Accused Stalker Released
Jimmy Carwyle, 49, was arrested on May 5, 2025. This came after he crashed his car into Aniston’s $21 million property in Bel Air, California. Aniston, 56, was home at the time of the incident. This cost her over $50,000 in damages. It also left Aniston living in “fear.”
After his arrest, Carwyle was charged with felony vandalism and felony stalking. The Mississippi native went on to plead not guilty. However, a Los Angeles judge ruled that he was not competent to stand trial.
Carwyle attempted to object to the incompetence finding. He also asked for a second opinion. From there, a hearing to resolve this was postponed multiple times.
Daily Mail has since confirmed that after further expert evaluation, Carwyle has received a treatment plan. This is part of a mental health diversion program for life outside of jail.
Judge’s Demands For Carwyle
Court documents show that a judge has ordered that Carwyle take all prescribed medication.” The judge also ruled that Carwyle “shall not leave the program without permission, shall not consume illicit drugs, marijuana, or alcohol, and shall not possess dangerous or deadly weapons.”
The judge additionally ordered that Carwyle “be placed in the smallest available home program within the Office of Diversion and Reentry.” He must also “enroll and participate with a contingency management program for treatment of stimulant narcotics addiction.”
On top of that, Carwyle must wear an ankle monitor with GPS monitoring. He must then “stay away at least one mile from, and have no contact with the victim, her home and any of her representatives or agents.”‘
Carwyle was released from custody on November 17. He was then moved to a facility where he remains at this time.
Aniston’s Fears Of Carwyle
This undoubtedly came as bad news for Aniston. Back in September, her lawyers claimed that the actress was living in “ongoing fear that Mr. Carwyle will continue to fixate on her and likely return to stalking her at the first available juncture’ until he ‘gets the appropriate treatment, in the appropriate setting.”
Aniston’s legal team described Carwyle as being “psychotic (even with some medication adherence) with hyper-religious thoughts and delusions alongside ‘erotomanic delusions.'” Her attorneys think that this could have led to “far worse consequences” when he crashed into her home had it not been for Aniston’s “security measures.”
Carwyle reportedly believed that Aniston was his wife when he crashed into her home. Her lawyers argued that though his criminal history is “limited,” it still “represents a significant risk when coupled with his clearly deteriorating mental health history.” They noted that Carwyle has admitted to domestic violence charges in the past. He’s also confessed that he’s “liked getting high [on methamphetamine].”
Aniston’s attorneys concluded by claiming that “releasing the Defendant to the community is both dangerous and represents a far less clinically effective and risky path for Defendant’s optimal mental health treatment.”
Aniston has yet to comment publicly about Carwyle’s release. Please join us in saying a prayer for her and her safety.
