'Choker' told to stay away from Cowell's ex
Simon Cowell’s former girlfriend was granted a temporary restraining order against a woman accused of choking her outside the 'American Idol' finale.
Terri Seymour, a correspondent for 'Extra', sought the protection on Tuesday.
Police arrested Janice Thibodeaux last week after officers say they saw her try to choke Miss Seymour outside the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles where 'American Idol' is produced.
Miss Seymour says she remains scared of Thibodeaux because she has been released from jail.
In an interview with RadarOnline.com, Thibodeaux said she did not regret her actions which she said were in retaliation for Cowell playfully choking fellow Idol judge Paula Abdul on the show.
