As reported by E! News, Sheryl indicated Phillip Gordon Sparks was "deeply disturbed because his Facebook posts were delusional, rambling, filed with profanity and laced with angry rants."
Plus, Sheryl's personal manager informed her that he started writing about the 50-year-old on Facebook and online fan forums a few months ago.

In her petition filed in L.A. Superior Court, she indicated, "All of these allegations are, of couse, totally false." What really prompted her to take action for the restraining order was the threat about shooting her.
In addition to her own protection, the mama of two seeks protection for her immediate family as well as in-laws, nanny, assistant and managers.
