Audrina Patridge Gets Restraining Order Against Alleged Stalker

LOS ANGELES — A judge granted Audrina Patridge a temporary restraining order from a man recently arrested outside the actress' home, court records show.

Patridge, a star of the MTV series "The Hills" sought and was granted the order on Thursday.

Her filing states that Zachary Loring, 24, first appeared at her home on Aug. 26 and came back over the next several days. Patridge's filings and jail records show Loring was arrested on Aug. 30 and released a day later.

Loring gave Patridge a packet of letters and drawings, including one that showed a woman being strangled when he first went to her home, the court filing states. He appeared three days later and was captured on surveillance footage, according to the documents.

Loring was arrested after Patridge saw him outside her home on Aug. 30. Jail records do not indicate if he has an attorney and a phone number could not be immediately located.

"Ms. Patridge is in great fear of returning to her home and is currently staying outside of Los Angeles County due to her fear for her personal and physical safety," her attorney wrote in the restraining order petition.

The order requires Loring to remain 100 yards away from Patridge and her younger brother, Mark and to not try to contact either of them.

A hearing on a three-year restraining order is scheduled for Sept. 30.

Patridge also appears in the horror film "Sorority Row," which opens in theaters on Friday.

The filing was first reported by celebrity Web site TMZ.

It was all just a big misunderstanding. I'm not a stalker.

in that photo, she looks like she'd be happy to be stalked, i.e. she's that popular now!...lol

The woman put her nude body out for all to see, what did she think would happen? Let's get real here. I am nto saying the stalker had a right to do this, of course not, but she put herself out there, up for grabs, and this is the chickens coming home to roost. Little girl, if you are going to advertise the goods, ya better be ready to deal with the whack jobs out there.

I think the stalking came before the photos. But, anyway.. it's really stupid to claim that as the cause and affect for stalking. Based on your dumb theory everyone who's ever posed for a men's magazine is being stalked and it's their fault. Do you blame children for playing outside if they are kidnapped and molested? Clerks for getting robbed for keeping money in their register? She's famous and someone is mentally disturbed... that's the reason she is being stalked. Not because the chickens are coming home to roost. D'err.
