Danielle Staub Granted Restraining Order Against Husband After Weird Garage Incident
It is official, and also a tad bit frightening:
Danielle Staub and Marty Caffrey have the most dysfunctional relationship in all of Hollywood.
Sorry, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Jen Harley. But it’s true.
In the latest example of their chaotic romance, Staub was granted a temporary restraining order against her husband after a serious fight in their New Jersey home ended with police intervention on Tuesday night.
Radar Online was the first to confirm these details.
According to court documents obtained by this website, Staub arrived late yesterday to see Caffrey “standing in her garage.”
That may sound fairly innocent on its own, but…
“He appeared to be under the influence of alcohol, agitated and confrontational,” reads these legal papers.
“[Plaintiff] wanted to avoid any argument with [Defendant] so she proceeded to her bedroom.”
As previously detailed in frightening fashion, Staub has a number of reasons to avoid talking to Caffrey.
He recently WENT OFF on his wife, describing her as emotionally unstable and accusing of her various forms of abuse.
Yet, for some reason, Caffrey has remained in the marraige.
Here is another excerpt from the approvedrestraining order:
After hearing a disturbing noise in another part of the residence she walked downstairs and found the [Defendant].
She then realized that several of her family portraits of her children and other sentimental framed photographs had been taken down causing her to become upset and suspected that def had removed them.
Upon speaking with the responding patrol officers, the missing portraits and photographs were later located in the [Defendant’s] vehicle parked in the garage.
So… Caffrey took down some of Staub’s family portraits and put them in his car?
That’s abnormal behavior.
Staub’s husband was ordered to not “stalk, follow or threaten to harm” Staub in the wording of the restraining order, which lists Caffrey’s “criminal offense” as “verbal abuse.”
He’s been banned for now from the home he’s been sharing with Staub and may not visit her at her place of employment, either.
Moreover, Caffrey was ordered to stop all “oral, written, personal or electronic communication,” with Staub and was prohibited from “making or causing anyone else to make harassing communications.”
The estranged couple have an August 20 court date.
Staub and Caffrey got married in May.
There were reports of a split just two months later, but neither side has taken the actual step of filing any divorce papers.
Instead, they simply bash each other in the press and seek protective orders from each other in court.
“There’s just not a better feeling in the world,” Staub told People Magazine after she exchanged vows with Caffrey, adding this past spring:
“I’m still crying over it… it was beautiful.”
Now, sadly, Staub is also crying.
Just for a very different reason.
These two really need to go their separate ways. Like, NOW.

Adam Lind: Legal Troubles Continue as Stasia Huber Is Granted Restraining Order
Even when he’s already behind bars, Adam Lind manages to find new and creative ways to get in trouble with the law.
Earlier this week, Lind was arrested for allegedly violating an order of protection attained by an ex-girlfriend.
While Lind was being held without bail in a South Dakota jail, a restraining order against him was granted to a different ex, Stasia Huber.
News of Lind’s latest legal trouble comes courtesy of Radar Online.
The site reports that Lind will be forbidden to make any sort of contact with Huber for a period of five years.
“The judge granted the protection order for Stasia against Adam,” the Clerk of Court for Minnehaha County Circuit Court tells Radar Online.
“It is for five years.”
Because he was behind bars at the time, Lind did not attend the hearing.
“Because he wasn’t there it was granted,” says one insider.
“She still wanted to go through with it.”
In court documents filed last month, Huber provided a shocking account of Lind’s violent and abusive behavior.
“While under the influence of drugs, alcohol and steroids, he fractured my forearm, locked me in the house saying I couldn’t leave, smashed my phone and once he realized what he had done, he broke down crying and took me to the ER,” she wrote.
“We broke up for a while after that,” Huber added, noting that shortly thereafter, she and Lind separated for good.
This is just the latest in a long line of legal troubles for the troubled Teen Mom 2 star.
Back in June, Lind tested positive for methamphetamines just prior to a scheduled visit with his youngest daughter.
Lind has refused to check into rehab, despite frequent pleas from his loved ones and legal counsel.
Though she has yet to challenge his visitation rights, Lind’s ex Chelsea Houska has taken steps to ensure that he will not be permitted to drive with their daughter in the car.
It’s unclear what will happen to Adam from here, but it looks as though a stint behind bars may be in his near future.
Watch Teen Mom 2 online to be reminded of just how egregious Lind’s behavior has been over the years.

O.J. Simpson Granted Parole; Notorious NFL Star to Be Released From Prison in October
One of the most infamous public figures in America will soon be a free man once again.
O.J. Simpson was granted parole moments ago after delivering a rambling account of his crimes and his time behind bars to a committee of prison officials.
Simpson has served nine years behind bars on armed robbery charges stemming from a 2007 arrest in Las Vegas.
Simpson told the parole board that he had no intention of committing a crime on the day in question, but was simply trying to retrieve items that he believed had been stolen from him.
He maintained that it was only by sheer coincidence that he and the victim wound up in the same city on the same day.
“As a perfect storm we all ended up in Las Vegas, you know?” Simpson said with a laugh.
“I was there for a wedding and [was told that] the property was there.”
Simpson often contradicted himself during his testimony, offering excuses and justifications for his actions one moment, then telling the parole board that he takes “full responsibility” for his crimes the next.
“When I came into the [hotel] room I noticed spread out everywhere was my personal property,” said in his account of the robbery.
“The only thing I saw that was on display that wasn’t mine was some baseballs, and I made it clear to everybody those are not mine. All I want is my property. … I wasn’t there to steal from anybody.”
In response to allegations that he pointed a gun at the robbery victim, Simpson stated, “I would never, ever pull a weapon.”
Bizarrely, Simpson told the board that he’s lived a “conflict-free life” and that his primary regrets are being unfaithful to his wife and turning his back on his religious beliefs.
“I had some problems with fidelity in my life, but I’ve always been a guy that pretty much got along with everybody,” Simpson said.
“I was always a good guy, but could have been a better Christian, and my commitment to change is to be a better Christian.”
Over the course of the past year, there’s been a sudden resurgence in the public’s interest in Simpson’s life and crimes, in part due to a popular FX miniseries about his murder trial and an award winning biographical documentary.
While there were some concerns that Simpson’s parole might be in jeopardy due to recent behavior behind bars, but most legal experts who speculated on the matter predicted that Simpson would be deemed eligible for parole.
Simpson was convicted of armed robbery 13 years to the day that he was acquitted of the murders of his wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman.
The former NFL running back, sports commentator, and movie star may be released from prison as early as October 1.

Bethenny Frankel Granted Restraining Order Against Jason Hoppy After Stalking Arrest
Bethenny Frankel has been granted an order of protection against her ex-husband Jason Hoppy, according to multiple media reports.
A spokesperson for the Manhattan District Attorney’s office confirms that the order was sought after Jason Hoppy’s arrest for stalking.
According to TMZ, the order forbids Hoppy from contacting Frankel and orders him to stay away from the reality star’s place of residence.
He is also not permitted near her business, or their daughter’s school, for six months. The order also requires Jason to stay radio silent.
That means no communication with Bethenny whatsoever.
The only exception for Hoppy, obviously, is if a judge allows him access to locations where the two are trying to reach a custody arrangement.
(How hard they’re trying to actually reach said agreement, versus just spiting the other and racking up billable hours for lawyers, is debatable.)
Additionally, Jason is not permitted to have any “third party contact,” with Bethenny, though the order does not specify what that means.
It seems safe to assume, as TMZ notes, that it includes Bethenny’s boyfriend, Dennis Shields, who was with her when Jason got arrested.
Hoppy, 46, was arrested after he contacted Frankel, 45, “numerous times via email and FaceTime, and approached [her] making verbal threats.”
According to the New York Post, Hoppy was arrested after he allegedly showed up at six-year-old daughter Bryn’s Manhattan school.
That was on Friday, and he allegedly threatened Frankel.
During the confrontation, he supposedly claimed he would “destroy” her, and sources say he previously sent a series of abusive emails.
After emails and FaceTime calls “numbering in the hundreds” and after a cease and desist letter was sent” last fall, authorities made an arrest.
According to the crazy NYPD report filed afterward:
“On Friday, January 27, the suspect approached her and a friend at her child’s school at around 8:15 a.m. and tried to provoke a fight.”
“He said, ‘I will destroy you, you can get all the lawyers you want, you’ve been warned,’” and hours later, Hoppy was charged with harassment.
Hoppy also faces charges of stalking in the fourth degree, a spokeswoman for the NYPD says; Hoppy denies all charges against him.
His attorney Robert C. Gottlieb said, “There are no words to express how saddened Mr. Hoppy is over his ex-wife’s unjustified actions.”
“His only concern is his daughter and intends to vigorously fight these false charges … we fully intend to do our talking in the courtroom.”
Frankel finalized her divorce from Hoppy in July 2016.
It was a contentious, four-year court battle, unlike almost any we’ve covered – and we’ve seen a lot of nasty splits, by celebrity standards.
“The hardest parts have been anything that seems negative for my daughter,” she said last year, calling it “really challenging for me.”
“You know, you kind of have to look inside, find your strength,” Frankel added, insisting she is committed to putting her daughter first.
The couple, whose romance, marriage and road to parenthood were documented on RHONY and two spinoffs, both fall short of that.
Why do we say that? Isn’t it obvious?
If they really wanted to, couldn’t they stop fighting, strike a peace treaty or a non-aggression pact and move forward without this ordeal?
Or are they so pridefully stubborn they will stop at nothing – even sacrificing Bryn’s long-term happiness in the process – to “win” this?
Think about it.

Stevie J Granted Restraining Order Against Joseline Hernandez
Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta star Stevie J says Joseline Hernandez is a vindictive crazy person out to defame and destroy him out of revenge.
Well, yeah. What else is new, right? But the situation has gotten so out of hand that he requested, and was granted, a restraining order.
According to Stevie J, his longtime partner Joseline is out to ruin his character, and has gone way, way beyond a typical online feud.
If you missed it, the allegedly pregnant Joseline called Stevie J a child molester who abuses his six-year-old daughter with Mimi Faust.
Mimi has called B.S. on that, for what it’s worth.
Sources close to the VH1 star say Stevie feels Hernandez’s claims are nothing but a sick attempt at revenge from a bitter individual.
Stevie, somehow, has taken the high road and remained quiet about the claim until yesterday, when he filed for a restraining order.
Calling Joseline volatile, jealous and filled with an evil sense of revenge after the couple’s nasty split, he asked the court for protection.
The order means Joseline, who also says Stevie watches gay porn, must stay at least 200 yards away from the producer at all times.
However, she can still swing by and pick up her Rolex and diamond ring from his house – so long as the police accompany her. Phew.
As for whether she’s really carrying his baby?
Does that look like a baby bump to you? At all?
Earlier this month, Hernandez shared a shot of her alleged baby bump, and claiming that Stevie J disavowed the baby, and good riddance!
She then shared the above pics, followed by a sonogram photo … which she deleted amid rumors that Joseline’s pregnancy is fake.
Why should Hernandez pull such a maneuver?
Beyond the fact that she’s a pathological liar?
We’re not sure, but she claims to be a few months along, and based on the photos above, at least … she doesn’t exactly look like it.
Stevie J, for his part, reportedly doubts she is.
The two have always played fast and loose with the truth (including about their own relationship status and pregnancies), so who knows.
What we can tell you is that it’ll be getting worse.
All of this comes on the heels of a nasty breakup and even nastier Twitter feud (mostly one-sided), with tensions escalating by the day.
Doesn’t look like any end is in sight, either.

Terminally Ill STAR WARS Fan: Dying Wish Granted
Prepare for the feels.
Daniel Fleetwood, 32, was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer in July, and given only a few months to live. His dying wish was to see STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS, the franchise’s latest installment.
So, Fleetwood’s wife, Ashley asked Twitter for a little help.
“#forcefordaniel help my man get his last wish, to see a screening of Star Wars before cancer takes him. @bad_robot,” she tweeted.
According to Entertainment Tonight, Fleetwood, who has been a STAR WARS fan since he was a kid, was afraid he “wouldn’t make it” until the December 18th release.
Through the power of social media, director J.J. Abrams saw the tweet, and put things into motion for Fleetwood.
“It was an amazing experience!” Ashley told ET of Daniel’s big day. She went into more detail via Facebook:
“To all our wonderful supporters, friends, family and awesome strangers: Daniels final dream was just granted!!! Today the wonderful Disney, Bad Robot and Lucasfilm teams made his final dream come true, Daniel just finished watching an unfinished version of Star Wars: The Force Awakens!!!
“We would like to thank the awesomely talented JJ Abrams for calling us yesterday to tell us Daniel was getting his wish granted! Lastly I want to thank ALL the amazing people who helped make this happen!!! May the force be with you all smile #forcefordaniel.”
