The Born To Die singer added that Everardo had allegedly visited her home again earlier in July.
During the trip, she said he left a bag by her gate which included a ‘disturbing’ note to her in which he allegedly related his need to see her in the flesh.
The man appears to have gone after Del Rey’s family as well, and she claims he sent multiple text messages to her sister from February to July of this year.
Del Rey (born Elizabeth Grant) made it clear in her court filing that she fears for both her safety and the safety of her family members.

After the judge signed off on the TRO, Everardo will now be required to stay at least 100 feet away from her at all times, as well as from her sister and brother.
He’s also barred from making any attempts to contact them as long as the order is in effect, which would include any text messages.
The judge will reevaluate the order at a hearing they scheduled for August.
Security camera evidence included in Del Rey’s filing appears to show the alleged stalker’s vehicle visiting her property.
His alleged car can be seen driving up near her garage, and a man can be seen walking near the structure in another still image from the footage.

Del Rey’s request for a restraining order was filed on July 14.
In it, she requested protection for her sister, as well as her sister’s fiancé and her brother.
It is unclear if her brother had any contact with the alleged stalker.
The songstress made it clear in her application that she had ‘no relationship whatsoever’ with Everardo, whom she described as a ‘stalker.’
She accused him of inflicting ’emotional distress’ on her, and she noted that she did not know if he owned firearms.

The note allegedly left for Del Rey by Everardo was also included. It appeared to refer to her as ‘Princess Charming,’ along with her full legal name.
A first page of paper included other difficult-to-decipher scrawls, though Everardo appeared to refer to himself as a ‘King,’ which was accompanied by a drawing of a crown and a heart. ‘My f***ing apology letter…’ he continued.
‘Hi I’m Eric. I’m very f***ing MAD & I do not know how I am alive still but I’am [sic],’ he wrote before adding a smiley face and more tiny hearts. ‘I whole Heartedly apologize for my stupid and wrongful doing and behavior/Actoions [sic].’
He didn’t appear to specify which actions he was apologizing for.
Included in the documents were screenshots from Everardo’s since-deleted Instagram account, on which had had apparently posted photos of Del Rey’s stolen Jaguar to his Stories, while noting that the car belonged to her in his caption.
‘Ready 4 sunshine or rainstorm,’ he wrote, followed by a flurry of emojis.
