A Los Angeles judge granted the actor court protection from Livia Bistriceanu after a brief hearing Friday. Court filings state that Bistriceanu traveled from Chicago to Los Angeles and acted aggressively when she showed up at DiCaprio's home and business offices recently.

Bistriceanu, who has been twice placed on psychiatric hold, was notified of a temporary restraining order but did not appear in court.

The Academy Award-nominated actor did not attend Fridays' hearing.

DiCaprio stated in court filings that he was frightened of the 41-year-old woman and that she presented a threat to his personal safety.
