Personal life

In 2019, TMZ reported that family and friends of McClurg filed court documents requesting a conservatorship to manage her affairs.

In August 2022, the lawyer for the conservatorship filed court documents alleging that McClurg had been abused by a man who had befriended her, moved into her home, and become a court-approved caregiver. The documents allege the man sexually assaulted her and a police report had been filed with the LAPD. They further allege that the man tried to remove her from the state to marry her. The judge for the conservatorship granted an order of protection at hearings in September 2022. [10] [9] [ needs update ]
