Nicole Richie Gets Restraining Order

Posted Oct 30th 2009 6:28PM by TMZ Staff

Nicole Richie Nicole Richie just won a temporary restraining order against two paparazzi who slammed into her car earlier this month.

A lawyer in Mark Geragos' firm, Tamar Arminak (inset), was in court this afternoon and convinced the judge the photogs -- Ivon Miguel and Bam Bam -- are a danger to Nicole.

They were ordered to stay 100 yards away from Nicole and have no contact -- either direct or indirect -- with her, her kids or her staff. Joel Madden is not covered by the restraining order.

In her declaration, Nicole says the harassment occurs "on a daily basis." She claims the paps have been "stalking our home, as we try to go about living our lives."

There's a hearing next month to make the restraining order permanent.

2. Who's the larger photo of????

Restraining orders should be taken out on any and every pap that crosses the line (what line anymore????) of impeding the movement of a celeb - their car .... their person .... their motorcycle .......

It IS STALKING!!!! And often dangerous.

3. That's not Nicole in the large photo. It looks like Paris.

4. All paps are pieces of sheat.

5. Someone should tell these so-called celebrities that the only way to get away from the paps and fans is to move to a small town in Wisconsin.

If you choose to live in the LA area, you almost DESERVE to be hounded.

8. What judge granted this? What a joke. Meanwhile, countless battered women can't get restraining orders and fake celebrities get their every frivolous wish. It's no wonder the public contempt for celebs is growing

9. Agreed #5,

If "so-called" celebrities don't want pap attention, it's very easy. Don't live in L.A. and certainly don't go to known pap spots. All this complaining about pap attention is just theater to look important. Thanks for clogging up the courts!

10. You people telling celebs to go live in Wisconsin are ridiculous.

Los Angeles is their home city - because that is where the bulk of work in their industry exists. And some of them grew up there and that is where their family is (like Nicole Richie). They aren't all out at clubs begging to get more famous by being photographed. Nicole has 2 kids now and just goes about her life. She doesn't deserve to be hunted down by paps and harassed.

You show your ignorance by telling people to just go live in a small town somewhere.

11. Are you tired of the Pap's blocking your way to walk where you want to go? Are they blocking your car where you can't drive? Try my new "PDT",PAP'S DETERENT TECHNIQUE. The PDT is simply pull out your PEPPER SPRAY AND SIMPLY SPRAY THEM. It's guaranteed to make them get out of your way every time. Never worry again about those pesky lawsuits from running over their feet. Use the PDT and they will move every time, JUST PEPPER SPRAY, THEN WALK AWAY....After one or two Paps get sprayed, It shouldn't be a problem, anymore, They see the can of Pepper Spray,they will move....LoL

12. THIS SKANK-WAD FOUGHT SO HARD TO BECOME FAMOUS FOR BEING A DRUGGIE AND NOW SHE WANTS HER PRIVACY? TOO BAD IDIOT. YOU CANT HAVE THE FAME AT YOUR CONVENIENCE.

13. Looks like a picture of that useless whore and drug addict Lindsay Lohan.

Posted at 11:43PM on Oct 30th 2009 by Riri

14. Lohan should go to a drug rehab, or Wisconsin.

Posted at 11:45PM on Oct 30th 2009 by Lmao

15. agree. Lohan and Mischa Barton seem in serious denial.

All others have straightened up, including Nicole.
