No temporary restraining order has been granted, and the court has not yet considered the substance of the matter.
Amy Taylor, the lead singer of Amyl and the Sniffers, has been named in a civil harassment restraining order petition filed in Los Angeles, according to court records and statements from the petitioner.
The filing was made in Los Angeles Superior Court on December 9, 2025. A temporary restraining order was not granted at the time of filing. A hearing is currently scheduled for February 13, 2026.
The petition was filed by Los Angeles-based photographer Jamie Nelson, who confirmed the filing and current procedural status in a statement to Blunt. Nelson said the matter remains pending and that she is limiting public comment while proceedings are ongoing.
Court records show the case has been scheduled for multiple hearings, which have been continued for procedural reasons, including service-related issues. No findings have been made by the court, and no interim orders are in place.
The filing comes as Taylor and Amyl and the Sniffers are in the United States during Grammy Awards week, where the band is nominated and attended the ceremony in Los Angeles.
The civil harassment matter sits alongside a separate and already public legal dispute between the two parties. On December 22, 2025, Taylor filed a federal civil lawsuit against Nelson in California, alleging that images taken during a Vogue Portugal photoshoot were commercially exploited without her permission.
Blunt previously reported on the initial dispute between Taylor and photographer Jamie Nelson late last year.
That lawsuit has been widely reported by outlets including The Guardian, ABC News, Rolling Stone Australia and PetaPixel. Taylor’s claim centres on the sale of fine art prints featuring her image following the shoot.
Nelson disputes that claim. In a statement to Blunt, she said there was no contract restricting her ability, as the copyright holder, to sell fine art prints of the images. Nelson said she contests the allegations in the federal lawsuit and intends to address the matter through the court process.
Nelson also confirmed that, as of today, she has not been served in the federal matter and that no hearings have been scheduled in that case.
At this stage, neither legal matter has been determined by a court. The civil harassment petition has not been ruled on, and the federal lawsuit remains at an early procedural stage.
Blunt has requested copies of the full court filings from the Los Angeles Superior Court and will report further once those materials are obtained.
