THIS IS SOME SCARY SHIZ....
Seacrest's attorneys obtained the stay-away order hours after they say Chidi Benjamin Uzomah Jr. was detained at the E! Entertainment Television headquarters in Los Angeles. The filing claims Uzomah was carrying a knife and was trying to see the popular television and radio host. Uzomah, 25, is on probation for another incident involving Seacrest. Court records show he pleaded guilty in Orange County,
Calif., last month to three misdemeanors: carrying a switchblade knife,
assault and battery. Uzomah was charged after he attacked one of
Seacrest's bodyguards outside an event. "His aggressive and
violent efforts to come into physical contact with me are extremely
frightening to me," Seacrest wrote in a declaration filed Friday. "They
have jeopardized not only my personal safety, but also the safety and
well-being of those around me." Police refused to confirm
details about the incident. Jail records showed he remained in police
custody Friday evening, held on $150,000 bail. The filing
states Uzomah tried to meet Seacrest at radio station KIIS-FM earlier
this month, but Seacrest records his show at the E! Entertainment
Television headquarters. Besides working as the affable host of
"American Idol" Seacrest has numerous other gigs, including producing
E! series such as "Keeping Up With the Kardashians." A court hearing on whether to grant a three-year stay-away order against Uzomah will be held on Nov. 17. LOS ANGELES (AP) - A judge granted "American Idol"
host Ryan Seacrest a temporary restraining order against a
knife-carrying man arrested outside his workplace on Friday, court
records show.
