Celebrity Justice
Justin Wins Permanent Restraining Order

Posted Nov 9th 2009 5:30PM by TMZ Staff

Justin TimberlakeJustin Timberlake didn't show to court this afternoon -- but he still got the permanent restraining order he was after.

Karen McNeil was ordered to stay 100 yards away from JT, his home and his vehicle. She is not allowed to contact him -- directly or indirectly.

Justin's lawyer, Marty Singer, gave the judge a written declaration from his client that apparently was good enough for the judge, who had requested a courtroom cameo earlier today.

McNeil testified for a bit, as did a few of JT's security guards.

2. The courts ALWAYS show favoritism for the rich & famous. Is anyone really surprised.

Harvey, How many of the straight males @ TMZ who have seen the Carrie Prejean tape have masturbated to it, while viewing?

8. Karen McNeil doesn't need a restraining order she needs serious psychiatric help. It's unfortunate who mentally ill people just get thrown in the judicial system and are forgotten. Karen McNeil really needs help.

9. Man, sometimes it's not always the dude. Girls are crazy! I'm glad he's got his petty restraining order (those never really do very much anyways). You know what, I'm sure Goumba Johnny will have something to say about this, just call in on his show or wirte a comment on the chat thread on SHOVIO.COM. His show is on from 1pm-2pm M-F (EST). Go there today!!

Stalkers like having the "Power" of forcing a celebrity/ target to make an appearance to THEIR (the stalker's) courtroom proceedings.

The stalker feels empowered that a celebrity/ target is attending something on behalf of the stalker - Deepening the fictional relationship.

Smart move on Justin Timberlake NOT appearing !!

12. Good for him!

13. #12: I see your point and you raise a good one; however, the judge was right the first time, though; JT is no more important a person being stalked than you or I. Your ex-BF or GF might take just as much perverse pleasure in making you appear to court but you would still have to go. At least JT has the luxury of bodyguards and is actually out of town anyway for the moment. I still think it's wrong for him not to have to follow the rules like everyone else. Then again, it's not really his fault the judge was dazzled by a celebrity either, though.

14. You know what Justin hasn't won? A spot on Top Twits Blog. His tweets are boring, maybe it's because he was "busy" being stalked.
