Brett Gardner has a stalker.

Source: Yankees’ Brett Gardner says stalker is terrorizing his family in new court filing

TAMPA — An obsessed Yankees fan who calls herself Brett Gardner’s “future wife” has “stalked, harassed and menaced my family and me,” the outfielder said in documents filed in court Tuesday in a petition for an order of protection against her.

The fan, Gina Devasahayam, shot back in a separate filing.

Devasahayam, who has claimed that Gardner sends her “sexual” signals when he plays, alleged that Gardner has attacked her mental stability. She says she wants the court battle to go away so that they can have children together.

They have never even met.

“The defendants are also delaying my biological clock for my pregnancy as I would like to start this process immediately,” Devasahayam, 46, told the court.

Gardner declined comment on the matter Tuesday at George M. Steinbrenner Field — the Yankees’ spring training home — where security guards have been given Devasahayam’s photo with orders not to allow her in the gates or near Gardner. Yankees position players reported to spring training on Monday and worked out for the first time Tuesday.

Gardner’s attorney, Stanley Schlein, didn’t return a message NJ Advance Media left at his office.

Devasahayam is suing Gardner, Major League Baseball and the Yankees in Bronx civll court to lift her ban from Yankee Stadium and to give her clubhouse access. Devasahayam said MLB has called her a “threat” and “delusional” and wants her banned from all ballparks.

Gardner seeks an order of protection that would keep Devasahayam 500 feet away from him and his family, Yankee Stadium and all major-league stadiums. In Tuesday’s filing, Gardner said Devasahayam won’t stop calling and emailing him. He said her lawsuit is a “deluded” attempt at contacting him.

Devasahayam “believes she knows me personally and maintains some sort of amorous relationship with me,” Gardner told the court. “This is not true.”

In addition to having a family with Gardner, Devasahayam wants child support from him. She said she plans to move from the Baltimore area to Long Island to “plan a family with Brett.” Devasahayam, who said she has a Ph.D and is a biotech entrepreneur, wants unspecified millions of dollars from MLB and the Yankees.

In an interview last week with NJ Advance Media, Devasahayam said that Gardner’s marriage is “not of importance” to her.

In August, security kicked her out of Camden Yards in Baltimore for nearly accessing the Yankees’ clubhouse to see Gardner. The next day, she was removed from the stadium when she tried to enter, and she was booted from Yankee Stadium when she tried to attend Game 5 of the American League Championship Series against the Astros on Oct. 17.

The next day, she filed her strange and often rambling lawsuit, which also claims that MLB has stolen her intellectual property. In a document supporting the suit, she said MLB has portrayed her as a “deranged rambling woman on the loose” and that she was a “threat to order and safety” and calls an affidavit that Gardner filed “lies.”

Her obsession with Gardner started in October 2015. Devasahayam said she first emailed then-Yankees manager Joe Girardi to tell him of her interest in Gardner. “I was fascinated by him,” she told NJ Advance Media. Subsequently, she said, sent Gardner “a love letter.”

Devasahayam added that she was arrested in 2003 for trespassing in the house of an ex-lover and that in 2004 she underwent court-ordered psychological therapy. In 2012, a judge dismissed a lawsuit Devasahayam filed against a University of Virginia professor for sexual harassment.

Devasahayam’s Twitter account is filled with references to Gardner, who said he doesn’t operate any social media accounts.
Now Brett Gardner knows how Sex Chicken @Sex Chicken has felt for the last 30 years.

I’m frustrated the Cards didn’t sign anyone. But I’m glad they let Ozuna walk. I hope O’Neil and Dylan Carlson get a chance to play. Who knows, maybe that bum Fowler will get benched and give the youngsters more time. Hoping Bader swings the bat. He’s too good with the glove to not be out there. Honestly, our rotation is a question mark. Will Reyes make an impact in the bullpen? No Hicks, Mikolas is injured, Martinez needs Valium, Adam needs a cane.. So we have Jack and Dakota.

Since 1985.. I was 3.

Went to my first game in 85. These casual fans dont know what its like to be a part of the greatest baseball nation in the world. Lots of jealous casual fans on here. Hauler @Hauler is the leader of the "they hate us because they ain't us" brigade.

You may want to put him on ignore before he goes on another hate filled tirade against Yadi.

I'll be grinning ear to ear in 2020.

It’s funny that the Yankees try to buy a championship every year. Since 2000 the Yanks have been in four WS. Winning 2.

Since 2000 the Cards have been to 4 WS winning 2. Despite the Yankees topping the MLB payroll almost every year. You guys keep spending 25mil for 3 HRs. LOL.

Ah, yes, the classic "your team pays its players" complaint. I'm sure you tune in to watch the owners.

LOL your team has zero idea how to manage money. They sign every free agent possible. Yet they can’t win more than STL in the last two decades? Lol. NY City vs little old Saint Louis.
