THE wife of Jennifer Aniston’s alleged stalker has claimed he believes he is Jesus Christ – and that the Friends star is his queen.
Jimmy Wayne Carwyle, 48, was arrested on Monday after allegedly ramming his Chrysler PT Cruiser through the gates of Aniston’s Bel Air mansion, while the actress was reportedly home.

Now, his estranged wife Julia Carwyle has told of how the Mississippi man is obsessed with the Hollywood A-lister and set out on a cross-country mission to meet her.
Julia, also 48, told Daily Mail: “He went to California six months ago. He left in September and went and I haven’t seen him since he left.
“He actually thought he was going to meet Jennifer.
“I guess he was speaking with her. He had the impression that Jennifer Aniston and he were going to talk and meet.”

The wife added: “He thought ‘Maybe she’s just going to meet a guy… to take a chance.’ That’s the way he was thinking.”
Prosecutors allege Carwyle repeatedly harassed the Morning Show star from March 1, 2023 to the day of the crash, bombarding her with “unwanted social media, voicemail, and email messages”.
Shocking images from his court appearance on Thursday showed Carwyle wrapped in an anti-suicide blanket, shirtless and dishevelled, giving a chilling smile as he walked into Los Angeles Superior Court.
His wife said the man pictured “isn’t him”, adding: “It doesn’t even look like him. He’s not there.”
Julia – who has been separated from Carwyle for “a few years” since they married in 2019 – described him as a “great guy” battling mental health issues.
She said he believes he’s Jesus and Aniston is supposed to be his “queen”.
The estranged partner added Carwyle’s mentality is “nothing like it used to be”, saying he is “going through a lot right now.”
She believes that there probably was a trigger to what happened, such as a midlife crisis.
Julia revealed it was not her husband’s first attempt to reach the sitcom star, but his third trip out to LA to try and meet her.
“I think he probably got a little aggravated because he could not (meet her),” she said.
In the wake of the crash, investigators found social media posts allegedly made by Carwyle referring to Aniston as “my bride” and “Jennifer Aniston Carwyle”.
One eerie post reportedly claimed the two would be “mended together”, referencing Adam and Eve.
After being held at gunpoint by Aniston’s security team and complaining of back pain, Carwyle was taken to hospital before being placed in custody.
The LAPD’s Threat Management Unit is now handling the case.
At the arraignment, Judge Keith L Schwartz expressed doubt Carwyle could understand the proceedings.

But he still granted a restraining order keeping him at least 100 yards away from Aniston and banning any contact.
“You are not to have any contact with Jennifer Aniston under any conditions,” the judge stated.
Carwyle is being prosecuted by Deputy District Attorney Sam Hulefeld of LADA’s Stalking and Threat Assessment Team.
He’s facing charges of stalking, vandalism, and the aggravating circumstance of threatening great bodily harm.
He could be jailed for up to three years if convicted.
District Attorney Nathan Hochman said: “Stalking is a crime that can quickly escalate from harassment to dangerous, violent actions, threatening the safety of victims and our communities.
“My office is committed to aggressively prosecuting those who stalk and terrorize others, ensuring they are held accountable.”
Carwyle remains in jail on $150,000 bail.
His next court appearance is set for May 22 at the Mental Health Court in Hollywood, where it will be determined if he is fit to stand trial.
