Jennifer Aniston’s Somber Appearance Amid Shocking ‘Stalker’ Drama

Jennifer Aniston looked somber as she stepped out in Beverly Hills on Friday amid a shocking twist in her ‘stalker’ drama.

Earlier this month, a man named Jimmy Wayne Carwyle trespassed onto the Friends alum’s Bel-Air property by ramming through the front gates – with the actress being home at the time of the incident.

He was arrested by LAPD officers after being apprehended by Aniston’s own security team – but a ruling this week declared that Carwyle is mentally unfit to stand trial.

Jennifer, 56, surfaced just one day after the ruling while wearing a black tank top and a pair of olive-green pants.

She slipped into a pair of black flip flops and sported a pair of black shades to complete the casual look as she exited out of a building.

Aniston’s locks were parted in the middle, and effortlessly flowed down past her shoulders in light waves. 

She easily carried her phone in her hand while a small bottle of water was tucked in the crook of her left arm. 

The Hollywood actress has been embroiled in ongoing drama after her alleged stalker was arrested after trespassing onto her property on May 5. 

The man was reportedly held at gunpoint by the star’s security team until the LAPD arrived to the scene, per TMZ. Officials then booked Jimmy Wayne Carwyle for felony damage. 

A public information office for the LAPD stated that a driver ‘approximately 70 years of age, rammed his vehicle through the gate to the residence and gained access to the property. 

‘There was a security guard on premises who was able to detain that suspect until officers arrived, at which time they took him into custody without incident. The resident was home at the time.’ 

And in an update on the case, the man made an appearance in court on Thursday while also debuting an entirely new look. 

Blinking under the bright lights before Judge Maria Cavalluzzi, bespectacled Jimmy Wayne Carwyle shuffled into the courtroom wearing yellow jail garb during a mental health hearing at a Los Angeles Superior Court in Hollywood. 

Though still disheveled looking, gone was the 48-year-old’s wild, unkempt greying hair and big, messy beard that had made his previous court appearances so striking and unsettling. 

Carwyle, in wrist shackles with a sheriff’s deputy next to him, wore an awkward smirk as he stared out from behind a glass walled enclosure in Department 103. The back of his shirt read ‘LA County Jail XXL.’ Cameras were not allowed in court.

It was announced by his public defender that a second opinion mental health analysis of his client had also revealed the Mississippi native mentally unfit to stand trial.

During a previous hearing the week before, the same court was told that a first report on Carwyle by Dr. Phani Tumu had deemed him not able to take part in criminal proceedings.

But Carwyle had requested a second opinion and so another analysis was performed by forensic psychiatrist Dr. Kory Knapke which, the latest hearing was informed, had also concluded the suspect is mentally unfit to continue with the case.

‘He is not competent to stand trial so although I know it’s not the outcome my client would have preferred at this time I would submit on those two reports,’ public defender Robert Krauss informed the court.

Deputy District Attorney William Donovan said: ‘The people will also submit.’

And with that, Judge Cavalluzzi said from the bench, ‘The court finds that the defendant is not presently competent to stand trial. Criminal proceedings are suspended.’

An ‘interest of justice’ hearing was scheduled for June 26 when Aniston or her attorney Blair Berk will be able to provide impact statements. 

A more detailed report on Carwyle will be compiled by independent analyst Dr. Tumu at a cost of $1,100 to determine how to proceed with treatment for him.

The hearing ended after four minutes and 20 seconds and Carwyle left to be transported by an Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department coach back to the infamous Twin Towers Correctional Facility in downtown Los Angeles.

He was arrested by LAPD officers on May 5 after ramming his car into the front gates of the Friends star’s breathtaking $21 million hilltop Bel-Air home.

Prosecutors say Carwyle ‘repeatedly’ harassed Aniston between March 1, 2023 to May 5, 2025, sending her ‘unwanted social media, voicemail, and email messages.’

In addition to stalking and vandalism charges, Carwyle was facing a charge for aggravating the threat of great bodily harm.

His estranged wife Julia Carwyle, 48, previously told Daily Mail exclusively that he believes himself to be Jesus Christ and Aniston is his ‘queen.’

‘He believes he was Jesus Christ and that she was supposed to be his queen,’ she recalled.

‘His mentality is nothing like it used to be. Something has triggered him. I don’t know if he’s having a midlife crisis or what.’

She said at some point that he must have ‘flipped’ and that something had ‘manifested that we’re all not aware of. 

‘It’s something that’s between him and his maker. Mental illness is real. It does not discriminate. He’s going through a lot right now.’

Julia said Carwyle’s family are ‘pretty upset’ by recent events. 

Added Julia: ‘He’s put me through literal hell. It took a toll on me for the past four years in every aspect – it’s not been good.

‘I’ve got a restraining order on him since we split up. He’s been stalking me the same way [as Aniston] and he’s not a very good person.’

She said she was unaware of her husband’s apparent obsession with the beloved TV and movie star.

The couple did not watch a lot of television while living together, and Aniston didn’t come up in conversation, she said.

‘Jimmy had a secret life I knew nothing about,’ said Julia. ‘We never even watched her. The whole time we’ve been together he never went on about her.’

She last saw her husband in September on the day he headed off on his latest California odyssey in an attempt to meet with Aniston, who was inside her home at the time he crashed into the property, although the two did not come face to face.

‘He went to California six months ago,’ said Julia. ‘He left in September and went and I haven’t seen him since he left. He was leaving that day to go.

‘He was going there because he was going to meet up with Jennifer. He was going to go see her.

‘He actually thought he was going to meet Jennifer. I guess he was speaking with her. He had the impression that Jennifer Aniston and he were going to talk and meet. 

‘So naturally he’s doing what anybody would do – he went across the country.’

Julia said Carwyle had made three separate trips to California to meet up with the actress. ‘He thought “Maybe she’s just going to meet a guy… to take a chance.” That’s the way he was thinking.’
