It started like something out of a Hollywood thriller—an uninvited visitor crashing through the gates of a Bel-Air mansion.
But this wasn’t a movie. It was very real for Jennifer Aniston, whose home became the scene of a deeply unsettling incident when a man allegedly obsessed with her drove straight into her security gate.
That man, Jimmy Carwyle, is now facing serious legal trouble.
And in an emotional turn, his estranged wife has come forward with her side of the story.
“He Wanted Her to Be His Queen”
Julia Carwyle, Jimmy’s wife, spoke exclusively to the Daily Mail and revealed that her husband believed Jennifer Aniston was meant to be his queen.
She shared that he had long been fixated on the Friends actress and truly thought they were destined to meet.
“He thought they were going to talk—like really meet up,” Julia said.
“He believed she was giving him signs, that somehow there was a connection.”
This belief, she explained, is what led Jimmy to make not just one, but three separate trips to California, all with the goal of meeting Aniston in person.
His Final Trip: A Crash That Made Headlines
Jimmy’s most recent attempt to connect with the actress ended dramatically on May 5. At around 12:20 p.m., he allegedly rammed his vehicle through the gates of Aniston’s $21 million Bel-Air estate.
Jennifer was home at the time, but thankfully, the two did not come face-to-face.
Security personnel quickly responded, holding him at gunpoint until police arrived.
He later complained of back pain and was taken to the hospital before being transferred into LAPD custody.
A History of Unwanted Contact
According to prosecutors, Jimmy’s behavior toward Aniston wasn’t limited to just the crash.
Between March 2023 and May 2025, he allegedly sent the actress numerous unsolicited messages across social media, email, and voicemail.
The District Attorney’s office has charged him with stalking, vandalism, and making threats that could lead to serious bodily harm.
Officials emphasized how quickly stalking cases can spiral into dangerous territory.
Social Media Obsession and Religious Delusions
Though unconfirmed, several social media posts believed to be from Jimmy refer to Aniston as his “bride.”
In one post, he even called her “Jennifer Aniston Carwyle” and suggested they were spiritually connected like “Adam and Eve.”
His mental state has also raised eyebrows. During his court appearance on May 8, Jimmy looked visibly disturbed—wrapped in an anti-suicide blanket and seemingly unaware of his surroundings.
At one point, the judge had to question if he was even capable of understanding the legal proceedings.
“He’s Not the Man I Married,” Says His Wife
Julia Carwyle, who last saw her husband when he left Mississippi for California back in September, says she’s been stunned by the recent turn of events.
The couple, who married in 2019, have been separated for some time, but Julia still cares about him deeply.
“He’s not well,” she said. “What we’re seeing now… this isn’t him. He’s not there anymore.”
Julia shared that Jimmy had started believing he was Jesus Christ, and that Jennifer Aniston was divinely meant to be his queen. “Something’s not right.
He’s flipped,” she added. “Mental illness is real—it doesn’t care who you are.”
Struggling Alone and Living Out of a Car
In recent months, Julia says Jimmy has been living out of his car, and she’s been sending him small amounts of money through Cash App whenever she could.
Despite their separation, she’s continued to try to help from a distance.
“It’s been a hard couple of years,” she said. “I’ve been taking care of my mom, working, and doing what I can—but this has been a dark time for all of us.”
She emphasized how much their family, including Jimmy’s daughter Kelly and her own children, want to see him get the help he clearly needs.
What Happens Next?
Jimmy Carwyle is currently behind bars, with bail set at $150,000.
A stay-away order has been issued, legally barring him from coming anywhere near Jennifer Aniston.
His next hearing is scheduled for May 22 at the Mental Health Court in Hollywood, where it will be determined whether he’s competent to stand trial.
If convicted, he could face up to three years in a California state prison.
Julia, holding back tears, said, “We just want him to come home.
His daughter needs him. We all want him to get better.”
