The bachelor who sued 50 women for calling him a bad date turned up at one of their homes even - though she didn't give him her address - after she discovered online group that exposed him

A bachelor who sued 50 women for calling him a bad date turned up at the house of one of the women even though she never gave him her address.

Stewart Lucas Murrey went to the Los Angeles home of Kelly Gibbons at 10.45pm and returned again days later at 8.45pm.

CCTV images from the property appear to show him filming or taking photos on his mobile phone.

Gibbons had never met Murrey in person and had only briefly swapped messages with him on dating app Hinge before texting.

Gibbons captured his visits to her house on a Ring camera 

But he tracked her down and turned up unannounced to serve her papers in a defamation lawsuit he filed against her at a court in Los Angeles. 

In an email, Murrey claimed that he was the one to block Gibbons over her 'heavily filtered pictures'.

He defended turning up at her house late at night to file the legal papers.

Murrey said: 'A couple of the defendants have attempted to evade service, even claiming they were not served when they actually were.

'Process servers are very costly when evasive defendants are involved and those were obviously the hours that she was available to be served by video evidence'.

Murrey and Gibbons communicated over Hinge and in text messages for three weeks in 2022

Gibbons, 32, an artist and writer, told DailyMail.com that the incident was 'disturbing' and left her deeply anxious about returning to her home.

In response to Murrey's comments about her photos being filtered, she said: 'How does one determine the effects of filters on a face they’ve never actually seen in person?' 

Gibbons is one of 50 women who Murrey, who calls himself a 'scholar', sued over his treatment in a viral Facebook group called: 'Are We Dating The Same Guy?' in which women made unflattering comments about him.

According to his civil complaint, these posts left him suffering from 'emotional distress', PTSD and 'mortification'.

He is seeking $2.6 million in compensatory and punitive damages.

This week a judge dismissed the case against Vanessa Valdes, one of the 10 women he named in the legal papers, with the rest in the process of filing their own motions to have the case thrown out. 

'While I navigate this complex case which involves multiple defendants in various roles, I am taking opportunities for procedural remedies arising from the deficiencies of (Valdes' case being dismissed),' Murrey told DailyMail.com 

'In all lawsuits, there are ups and downs. But the power should belong to the public in the form of a jury trial'.

Gibbons told DailyMail.com that she messaged Murrey on Hinge and texted him for three weeks in 2022 but it didn't go anywhere.

'When he was texting me it seemed more logistical than I'm used to when it comes to making a connection,' she said.

The pair had a flirty exchange on Hinge and were teeing up to meet when she got cold feet

'It didn’t feel like a casual chat I would expect to have with someone after matching on a dating platform. 

'I dragged it one for a couple of weeks longer than I should of to try and suss him out

'There were no fewer than 10 or 11 requests for a date, at least five requests for Facetime.

'He was overdoing it with the compliments on my appearance which made me uncomfortable'.

Texts between Gibbons and Murrey show him telling her: 'I like your ink on your pretty hand' and 'I like your vibe'.

At one point he called her 'beautiful, sensitive, intriguing, chill, fun' and 'beautiful Kel'.

In one text Murrey asked her if she was free that night, but she replied that it was 'kinda quick notice'.

Things turned sour the day before they were due to meet for the first time. 

Gibbons said: 'Then he called me, an audio call. We'd never spoken on the phone before.

'We chatted for a minute and then he conferences called his 'lawyer' onto the phone. I thought it was really bizarre

'I was OK, I've never spoken to him, he's calling me at 11am. As soon as that happened they began talking to each other like I wasn't on the phone. I excused myself from the conversation.

'I went on Hinge to check his profile again and I noticed his profile wasn't matched with me anymore.

'I was surprised, we were meeting the next day, he didn’t have any reason to unmatch me.' 

In a text, Murrey tried to brush it off by saying: 'It's just crazy, too many women lol'.

When Gibbons told him she was 'getting a little nervous about meeting you for some reason', he replied: 'What's your Insta? I'll dm you'.

His next message was: 'Actually it's ok I'm not really interested in this anymore you're too erratic. I'm not into dumb games'.

When Gibbons told him goodbye and that she hoped he would 'find what you are looking for', he responded: 'Enjoy complimenting yourself if others don't lol'

Soon after Murrey texted her again, telling Gibbons that she had 'violent mood swings' and threatened to block her.

Vanessa Valdes received these messages from Murrey, who sued her for defamation but her case was dismissed

A few months later, Gibbons discovered the 'Are We Dating the Same Guy?' Facebook group, which was set up to allow women to warn other women about men they have bad experiences with on dates or dating apps.

Her post said: 'I'm curious to see if anyone has met 'Lucas' in person (I'm not sure if that's even his real name).

The post went viral within the Facebook group, which was set to private, with dozens of women commenting. 

Gibbons said: 'In my post I didn't say anything about him. It's not: 'This is a man who did this'. I didn't want to make any assumptions. I've never met him.

'The way he spoke to me, I wouldn't want my friends being spoken to like that so I wanted to see if anyone else had experienced something similar'.

In February 2023, almost a year to the day after Gibbons blocked Murrey she got a message on Whatsapp from him. 

Murrey sued 50 women for defamation claiming they'd lied about him. The case was thrown out

In an apparent reference to the Facebook group, it read that he had 'evidence of your conspiracy to defame me' and told her she was being sued, adding that her behaviour was 'disgusting'.

In December that year, Gibbons came home to find some legal papers on her back porch. She asked her building manager to review the CCTV and saw Murrey standing there at 10.45pm.

'I wasn't there at the time,' Gibbons said. 'He showed up twice. December 12th and December 17th, both times dropping the papers out of an envelope

'I never told him where I live, I never gave him my address. He went out of his way to track down where I live. It's disturbing.

'The second time my roommate was home and told me that somebody is knocking on the door but they didn't answer.

'He's holding his cellphone pointed at my house, my doors and windows. 

'It's alarming. It heightens anxiety around security... my roommates asked if I'd put up a no trespassing sign which I did.

'I'd rather not think about how long he may have spent tracking down my home address. I never even gave him my full name.

'It's hard to not be concerned. When someone is inciting completely baseless legal action against dozens of people due to - in my opinion - a bruised ego, that's what I consider an unpredictable person'

Murrey insists that he was the victim throughout 

Another of the women who was sued by Murey was Valdes, but her case was thrown out under California's anti-SLAPP legislation, which is designed to combat nuisance lawsuits.

Her texts with Murrey show that he became upset because she had a male friend in one of her profile pictures.

He wrote: 'Why is there a guy in your pic, genius?'

When she replied that she was 'amused by how you think you know me well enough to talk to me like one your buddies', he responded: 'It's fun watching you burn lol'

Valdes told him she was 'reporting your a**' and told him to 'stay away from women and get help'.

Murrey replied: 'Good Vanessa Loser I'm subpoenaing you're idiot 'report' and possibly suing you for defamation. Does it upset you that I've broken no laws just like it's legal for you to (be) a moron. By the way, real decent women love me lol'.

Another message read: 'I'm sorry your so jealous when rejected'.

Gibbons said that she accepted service on Murrey's lawsuit even though it was improperly served to stop him coming back to her house again.

She called the case against her 'frivolous' and 'baseless' and said she planned to file her anti-SLAPP motion soon.
