LOS ANGELES – A judge has granted Leonardo DiCaprio a three-year restraining order from a woman who he said claims to be his wife and carrying his baby.
During a brief hearing Friday, a Los Angeles judge ordered that Livia Bistriceanu stay 100 yards away from the actor. Court filings state Bistriceanu traveled from Chicago to Los Angeles and acted aggressively when she showed up at DiCaprio's home and business offices recently.
Bistriceanu, who has been twice placed on psychiatric hold, was notified of a temporary restraining order but did not appear in court. The Academy Award-nominated actor did not attend Fridays' hearing. DiCaprio stated in court filings that he was frightened of the 41-year-old woman and that she presented a threat to his personal safety.
