Ben Affleck’s former nanny, Christine Ouzounian, has filed a restraining order against a man she claims became obsessive, ignoring her requests to stop contacting her. According to TMZ, she alleges that he persistently reached out despite her clear boundaries—and even suspects he may have given her cocaine instead of Adderall.

In legal documents, Ouzounian, who worked for Affleck while he was married to Jennifer Garner, requested a temporary restraining order against Matthew Humiston. She accuses him of displaying erratic behavior at a work conference last month, including grabbing her wrist with such force that it remained sore for days.

Ouzounian claims she blocked Humiston and firmly told him to stop contacting her. However, she says this latest incident is just one of many troubling encounters with him since December.

According to her, Humiston not only made repeated derogatory remarks but also abruptly shifted his behavior—at one point even proposing to her. She further alleges that during this time, he gave her cocaine instead of the prescribed Adderall she relies on for medical reasons.

Christine expresses concern that Matthew’s actions could damage her professional reputation. She has provided evidence of what she claims are numerous attempts by him to contact her since she cut off communication—alleging he has persistently called, texted, and emailed her despite her efforts to distance herself, according to TMZ.

Ouzounian initially gained public attention in 2015 after rumors surfaced about her alleged involvement with Affleck following his separation from Garner. While neither Affleck nor Ouzounian publicly confirmed the speculation, the media frenzy surrounding the situation briefly thrust her into the spotlight. Since then, she has largely stayed out of the public eye, but this recent legal battle has once again brought her name into public discussion.

With her legal action now underway, Ouzounian hopes to put an end to what she describes as months of harassment and move forward without further interference from Humiston.
