Former Red Hot Chili Pepper guitarist, John Frusciante, has been successful in getting a restraining order granted against August Elizabeth Thomas, a 32-year-old screenwriter. The restraining order was granted on Wednesday August 24 and will last for two years.

Frusciante filed the order earlier this month  in which he claimed Thomas desperately wanted to write a screenplay about him, and sent several "long, rambling" and "drunk" letters.

Frusciante claims Thomas came to his wife's concerts to harass her about the screenplay and would also turn up at the couple's house and refuse to leave.

Frusciante was worried August "could snap at any moment," claiming, "I fear both for my safety and for my wife's safety."

Thomas can go no closer than 100 yards from Frusicante and his wife until 2013.
