Rose McGowan Granted Restraining Order Against Louis S. Santo III

LOS ANGELES — A judge has granted Rose McGowan a three-year restraining order from a Connecticut man who she says threatened her agent and others in attempts to contact her.

The former star of the TV series "Charmed" did not attend Friday's hearing. She wrote in a court filing that she has been "severely unnerved" by the actions of Louis S. Santo III.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Kenji Machida ordered Santo to stay away and not try to contact the actress until March 2014.

McGowan's attorney, Aaron Shelden, says a man he believes was Santo called him recently and threatened him because he was representing the actress.

The 36-year-old Santo told The Associated Press in February that he had written a script for McGowan. He did not appear in court Friday.

Love the Rose. Had to endure facial surgery from her car accident. Now a stalker.
Come back Rose.

Now I feel bad for thinking she botched her face by choice.

actually the repair work is nicely done - its the lip augmentation that was done by choice that messes it up.

At least Rose McGowan's restraining order against fame is working like gangbusters.

She was in a car accident. And she's still beautiful.

With all due respect, the result of the car accident is a small scar under her right eye.
The botox and lip injections have nothing to do with it.

Rose is gorgeous, now and before the surgery.

I have an ex-girlfriend who once got in a fistfight with Rose McGowan.

Cool story bro. Who won? And please don't tell me they were fighting over you.

It was two (hot) girls fighting, so I'm guessing the winner was every guy standing around watching. And it happened before I met her.

What the heck happened to her?
She used to have the face of an angel?
I remember her dating that Manson singer and thought she was adorable no matter
how 0gly her boyfriend choice was.
What a travesty.
"the beautiful people....the beautiful people..."

Do restraining orders work?

I once had a crazy roommate threaten to kill me in my sleep (in a poem he wrote, no less), and called the police and then moved out. In response the crazy roommate's parents filed a restraining order against me preventing me from coming within 500 meter of their son (who, again, threatened ME, not the other way around).

As you might imagine, that restraining order worked wonders. I have never made any attempt to be anywhere near the guy who wrote about watching my blood spray in arcs across the walls as he stabbed me in my sleep.

But I'll admit my case is atypical.

It's time to lay off the Botox and plastic surgery honey, not a good look. Why do women insist on doing this to themselves?? It only hurts your appearance, it does NOT help!

Lots of people get plastic surgery after a car accident. What a hateful thing for you to say.

How is it hateful if I had no idea she had a car accident? I doubt that's common knowledge...I take back what I said about her, but not other women who mess up their faces with plastic surgery!

I thought it was the frozen botox look from the eyes up.

She used to look like a cupie doll...now just looks somewhat surprised.
