Malika on ESPn show
Malika Andrews has been granted a restraining order against a man accused of harassing her and several other ESPN personalities over the past year. According to TMZ, Ahmed Abubakar allegedly targeted Andrews, Stephen A. Smith, and Molly Qerim, starting with disturbing messages on X (formerly Twitter) in September 2022.

Things escalated when Abubakar reportedly showed up at ESPN’s offices and even at Qerim’s home. In a series of vile messages, Abubakar called Andrews a “malignant c( )t” and a “gold-digging… b( )h and w( )e.” He also somehow obtained her private phone number and began harassing her with repeated calls. Screenshots of the threatening messages were released by TMZ.

Ahmed Abubakar is accused of harassing Malika Andrews, Stephen A. Smith, and Molly Qerim. According to TMZ, Andrews claims that what started with messages on X in September 2022 escalated to the point that Abubakar turned up at ESPN offices and Qerim’s home.

In alleged messages, released by TMZ, Abubakar brands Andrews a ‘malignant c( )t’ and a ‘gold digging… b( )h and w( )e.’

Ahmed Abubakar, a 41-year-old resident of New Jersey, somehow obtained her unlisted phone number and began making numerous unwelcome calls.

Messages can be found on TMZ below.

Abubakar is also accused of writing on social media: ‘I hope endometriosis destroys all your genital organs so that you never get a man.’ He was allegedly arrested in August for turning up unannounced to Qerim’s house in Connecticut.

A recent visit he is said to have made to ESPN’s Los Angeles facility left her fearing for her safety.

Andrews asked a judge to ensure Abubakar stays at least 100 yards away from her and others including Stephen A. Smith. The TRO was reportedly granted, with a hearing slated for later this month.
