Charlie Sheen's ex gets temporary restraining order against him

Former Two and a Half Men star Charlie Sheen's ex-fiancee has been granted a temporary restraining order against the actor after he allegedly threatened to pay US$ 20,000 to have her "head kicked in".

Brett Rossi filed for an emergency stay-away order last week after Sheen's alleged threat, reported New York Daily News.

"Honestly, she's terrified. He said he was going to pay someone US$ 20,000 to kill her. Lots of people might say, 'That's just Charlie being Charlie,' but we've lived through OJ. We don't take this as a joke," a source said.

50-year-old Sheen's lawyer Marty Singer said, "The TRO was obtained without notice to Charlie Sheen or his attorney. I believe it is the first time someone obtained an order based on a story in a tabloid."
