Sandra Bullock Gets A Restraining Order

And no, it’s not against ex husband Jesse James. Sandra Bullock has received a temporary restraining order against Thomas James Weldon, a guy she alleges has been stalking her off and on since 2003. Bullock’s lawyers obtained a document on Monday at a Los Angeles court to protect her from him and to keep him from trying to contact her at any of her homes and movie sets. Weldon was permanently ordered to stay away from her in 2003 after repeated attempts to send her messages and gifts and Bullock was granted an extension in 2006, but it expired last year.

Per TMZ:

Bullock’s attorney, Ed McPherson, got the TRO against Thomas Weldon — who was first busted for stalking Bullock across the country back in 2003. At the time, Weldon’s family admitted he suffered from mental illness. Weldon was institutionalized in 2003.

According to docs, in July, 2010, Weldon told mental health workers he drove from Tennessee to Wyoming, “just to meet with [Bullock] at her home in Jackson Hole,” adding his “delusions and fixations concerning [Bullock] had not subsided.”

After the first restraining order, Weldon checked himself into a Tennessee psychiatric facility. Bullock later sued the state in 2006 to guarantee that she’d be notified when he was released. But that apparently didn’t happen. Per her filing in Los Angeles Superior Court, an unmedicated Weldon showed up in a Wyoming emergency room last month complaining of anxiety and exhaustion and told the staff he’d spent all night driving from Tennessee to get to Bullock’s home in Jackson Hole, admitting he had not been taking his medication and claimed he had been communicating with Bullock telepathically. In addition to Bullock, the request lists her adopted son Louis, her nanny, housekeeper and assistant as people who need protection from Weldon. On a side note, in the restraining order paperwork obtained by TMZ, Sandra lists James’ three kids as people who live with her part time.

A ‘permanent’ restraining order only lasts 3 years? So many crazies out there – no wonder entertainers of all types have a zillion bodyguards.
