Joel Kinnaman has filed a restraining order against Gabriella Magnusson, accusing the latter of threats and extortion. He claimed the model was allegedly attempting to extort money by threatening to distribute false information against the actor.
Joel Kinnaman reportedly shared a brief relationship with Magnusson in 2018. The Suicide Squad star shared that the model is now claiming that the actor engaged in non-consensual sexual activity during their relationship.
On August 6, 2021, the RoboCop actor requested a restraining order against Magnusson in the Los Angeles Country Superior Court. According to TMZ, the judge has already granted the temporary restriction order.
Following the legal complaint, Joel Kinnaman took to Instagram to address the situation. He listed the demands made by the model and claimed that she had also threatened to cause him physical harm:
“Earlier this morning, I filed for a restraining order against a woman who has been threatening to physically harm me and my family and loved ones, and attempting to extort money and other things of value from me. While it is mortifying and scary to come forward about all of this, what feels worse is enduring the escalating daily threats of physical harm to me and my loved ones and threats to go to the press with fabricated, vile rumors unless I agree to a list of demands that includes money, Hollywood connections, helping to secure a work visa, a verified Instagram page, a Wikipedia page, a photoshoot with Sports Illustrated, an additional $400,000 USD for an apartment and more.”
He further clarified that the consistent “antagonistic” and “frightening” threats compelled him to undertake legal help:
“Her threats of violence against me and my loved ones have become so serious and specific that I felt I had no choice but to seek a restraining order.”
Joel Kinnaman mentioned that Magnusson resumed contact with him in 2019. He revealed that the model allegedly sent him sexually explicit content and began threatening once he refrained from responding.
Joel Kinnaman reportedly attempted to resolve the situation through a telephonic conversation with Magnusson in July. He said the model allegedly agreed to their tryst being consensual but immediately reiterated her statement on the call.
The House of Cards star also claimed that Magnusson’s brother allegedly pointed a gun at his manager. Joel Kinnaman mentioned that he supports all victims of sexual assault but clarified that he was only involved in consensual sexual activity with Magnusson.

“In November 2018, we met up in New York and had consensual sex. The next month, in December 2018, we again met up in New York and had consensual sex but did not spend the night together because I had to get up early the following morning for work.
