Colin Farrell obtained a temporary restraining order against a woman that approached him at the taping of the “Tonight Show with Jay Leno” on Thursday. The order was issued Friday against Dessarae Bradford, 31, in Los Angeles County Superior Court in Santa Monica.

The documents filed allege that Bradford “accosted me during the taping of a network television show on July 20, 2006. I am concerned that her harassing behavior has escalated and may pose an immediate threat to my well-being and the well-being of my family," according to TMZ.

The temporary restraining order is good until a hearing on August 16^th. The request also asks Bradford to stay away from Farrell’s two year-old son James and James' mother Kim Bordenave.

Bradford sued Farrell in May for libel, assault and slander seeking $10,000 damages. Previous cases in small claims court and state court have already been dismissed. Farrell’s publicist, Danica Smith said Bradford “Has unsuccessfully pursued two fabricated lawsuits” against Farrell during the past two years.

According to the National Ledger, Danica said "Mr. Farrell had never met or spoken to Ms. Bradford until the incident at The Tonight Show." Audience member Molly Mattaini, 16, told reporters ““She said something to Colin Farrell that no one heard, then he took her by the elbow, led her off stage, asked the cameramen to turn off their cameras and asked for security.” Colin Farrell Sex Tapes
