Temporary restrainin­g order for Kardashian

-

LOS ANGELES — A court commission­er on Monday issued a temporary restrainin­g order against Rob Kardashian in response to the reality television star’s posting of explicit images of his exfiancée on social media last week.

Los Angeles Superior Court Commission­er James E. Blancarte issued the order in response to filings by Kardashian’s ex, Blac Chyna. The order will remain in effect until an Aug. 8 hearing.

He said his primary concern was the former couple’s infant baby, who was not listed in Chyna’s requests for a protective order.

Chyna’s attorney, Lisa Bloom, said the restrainin­g order prevents Kardashian from posting anything about her client online and orders him to stay away from her.

Chyna sought the order on Monday, less than a week after Kardashian went on a tirade against her on Instagram and Twitter, including posting explicit images of her. She attended Monday’s hearing, but spoke only briefly in response to Blancarte’s questions.

Bloom has accused Kardashian of cyber bullying.

Kardashian did not appear at Monday’s hearing. His lawyer, Robert Shapiro, apologized on his client’s behalf outside the courthouse.

“We apologize and have offered our regrets for what has taken place in the last few days,” Shapiro said.

He said the former couple remains focused on their daughter, who he said is being cared for by Kardashian.

He said Kardashian agreed to the issuance of a temporary restrainin­g order.

Bloom said in court that the pair has nannies to handle custody transfers while the restrainin­g order is in place.

Kardashian is the younger brother of Kim Kardashian and appeared on several seasons of the family’s reality series, Keeping Up with the Kardashian­s.
