'OITNB' Star & Creator File Restraining Order Against Fan
READ TIME: 1 MIN.
"Orange is the New Black" star Laura Prepon and the show's creator Jenji Kohan have filed separate restraining orders this week after reportedly receiving a violent threat from a fan, TMZ reports.
William Austin III allegedly threatened Kohan on Instagram las week with an audio recording that said, "Get ready, violence is coming."
TMZ reports Prepon's court documents don't mention a specific threat, but the celebrity gossip website points to Tweets Austin made: "Here is a recent picture of LauraPrepon my Wifey and Friend." The tweet is full of aggressive emojis: an angry red face, a kiss emoji, a diamond ring, a gun and a butcher knife.
A judge ruled there was enough of a threat to approve the restraining orders for both the actress and show runner. The court order says Austin has to stay 100-yards away from Prepon and Kohan and their families.
