Farrell gets restraining order
Colin Farrell has obtained a restraining order against the woman who accosted him during his appearance on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno on Thursday. The restraining order bars Dessarae Bradford from coming within a certain distance from the actor pending an August 16 hearing before a judge. An audience member described the odd incident, saying, "She said something to Colin Farrell that no one heard, then he took her by the elbow, led her offstage, asked the cameramen to turn off their cameras and asked for security." Farrell's publicist issued a statement about the incident, saying the woman "has unsuccessfully pursued two fabricated lawsuits" against the Miami Vice actor in the last two years. "Mr. Farrell had never met or spoken to Ms. Bradford until the incident at the Tonight Show."
