Brian Cashman's Alleged Stalker Has 13 Orders Of Protection Against Her

Last week, a single mother was arrested and charged with harassing and stalking Yankees general manager Brian Cashman amidst her claims that she had been Cashman's mistress since last April. Cashman is far and away not the first person Louise Neathway (who also goes by the last name Meanwell) has allegedly stalked—in all, 13 people have filed orders of protection against her since 1998.

The list includes Cashman; Cashman's soon-to-be-ex-wife Mary; Cashman's two young children; Cashman's alleged former mistress Kimberley Brennan; Brennan's two children; Meanwell's ex-boyfriend, Wall Streeter Thomas Walsh; another ex-boyfriend in New Jersey; Meanwell's psychiatrist, Charlotte Murphy; and Meanwell's ex-husband, Jason Bump, his current wife and his mother have orders of protection. Bump also filed one on behalf of the teenage daughter he has with Meanwell. He has full custody of the teen.

Neathway has been charged with grand larceny, attempted grand larceny, stalking, and aggravated harassment. Among other things, Cashman's lawyers say the 36-year-old British national was an unhinged con woman out to extort him, bombarding him with text messages and calls during the past 10 months. She allegedly tried to blackmail him into paying for an unspecified $15,000 medical treatment, threatening to contact the press and his family if he didn’t. Cashman says he eventually caved, and gave her $6,000 in different bank accounts, before contacting police.

This weekend, emails between Cashman and Neathway were leaked, including one which contained an ultrasound picture "proving" Cashman got her pregnant: “What Brian Cashman has done to me is both incomprehensible and unforgivable...I am going to the press and informaing [sic] them of the preganacy [sic] and the abortion. And everything else.” That ultrasound was ultimately proven to be a fake, and Neathway's mother told the Post she "was never pregnant, and had lied about it in the past as well." A source added, 'She said she had made claims [before] of fake pregnancies and fake abortions.'"

In a jailhouse interview with the News, Neathway was furious that Cashman had denied having a sexual relationship with her: “I think that Brian is totally trying to cover his ass, trying to deflect the real issues...But I’m a firm believer that the truth will prevail. He can say whatever he wants as much as he wishes. I think it’s going to reflect negatively on him." Whether or not that's true, it's unlikely to hurt his standing with the Yankees for now—“Basically, the Steinbrenner brothers wouldn’t know what to do without Cashman,” one former NL GM told the Daily News. “I think it even works in his favor that he just made a great trade, getting (pitcher Michael) Pineda from Seattle for (catcher Jesus) Montero. Nobody saw that coming. Pineda could be the missing link to another championship for them.”

NY Post moralist extraordinaire Andrea Peyser still thinks this is all his fault for sleeping with "an unemployed British serial stalker with crazy eyes and matching disposition." His ultimate mistake wasn't that he cheated—it was that he called the cops: "She spooked Cashman so badly, he did the second-dumbest thing a cheating man can do, after picking a whack job with nothing to lose: He called the police. Now, the insanity is not just public, it’s viral."

    Did she get a free sandwich after the 12th order?

  • akachris

    So is this Charlotte Murphy her current therapist or ex-therapist?  It's hard to treat someone when you have an order or protection against them.

  • JarekAF

    Deadspin was covering this story hard, except, they were giving stalking girl way too much credence.  It was a story pushed hard by AJ Daulerio, who is now EiC of Gawker.  And now he looks like a dumbass.

    You all know you'd still hit that, no matter how crazy....

  • birdtird

    Wait -- isn't this Nicole Wallace from Law & Order Criminal Intent?

  • smalll

    Well, she means well. 

  • Guaranteed she's hairless.  God damn it.

  • Spirit of 76

    Wow, this has all the makings of a good movie script. They could even get Michael Douglas and Glenn Close to star.

  • birdtird

    "i'm a firm believer that the truth will prevail"....substitute "the truth" with "my psychosis"

    Is it that hard to find mentally stable women to have an affair with?

  •  I have never really tried but I would venture to say that yes, yes it is.  Wrap it up and go with an escort, usually works out better for all involved.

  • Peanut_Butter

    I said it before and I'll say it again: she's kinda hot.

  • Guest

    Could we get her to dye her hair red?

  • D.B

    Hot and crazy ! 

  • Bernie_Geotz_Squirrel_Luv

    I like her.
    Poor Mets GM, no one wants to stalk him.

  • Pashri Diaz

    You know it's bad when your psychiatrist gets a restraining order.

  • It is, but it's also indicative of a bigger problem. This girl has legitimate mental issues and really needs help; I truly find it sad that she hasn't gotten the help she really needs. She's not right in the head and unfortunately she's taking everyone else down with her.

  • She hasn't gotten the help that she needs?  Fuck that.
    She had a psychiatrist. That's more than most people.
    How many people's lives has she made a living hell?
