<\/div>\n

A judge has granted Courtney Love<\/a> and her daughter Frances Bean Cobain<\/a> a permanent restraining order (PRO) against her ex-manager Sam Lutfi, the Blast reported<\/a> Wednesday. Rolling Stone<\/em> has confirmed the report.\u00a0Love\u2019s sister\u00a0Jaimee was already protected under Monday\u2019s ruling.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, the judge overseeing the case \u2013 who remembered Lutfi from his legal drama with Britney Spears<\/a>\u00a0in the mid-2000s\u2013 granted a five-year PRO in the case. A PRO typically spans three years, at which point it could be renewed, but given that Lutfi \u201cseems to prey upon people,\u201d as the judge noted, a five-year order was instead handed down.<\/p>\n

In December, Love was given a temporary restraining order (TRO) against Lutfi. When the TRO was granted, Love accused Lutfi of harassing her and her family with emails, texts and phone calls in an effort to recoup money he alleges she owed him.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe escalating verbal harassment and threats of Sam Lutfi left no choice for Courtney and her family but to seek protection,\u201d Love\u2019s attorney, Howard King said at the time. \u201cThe Cobains are grateful for the anti-harassment order issued by the Los Angeles Superior Court against Mr. Lutfi and the powers it provides law enforcement to assure that Mr. Lutfi terminates all contact with the family.\u201d<\/p>\n

Under the terms of the PRO obtained by Rolling Stone<\/em>, Lutfi was ordered to stay 100 feet away from the three women at all times and barred from contacting them. Love\u2019s ex-manager was also warned not to \u201cmake comments on social media\u201d about the women.<\/p>\n

Neither Lutfi nor a rep for Love immediately replied to a request for comment.<\/p>\n

According to Jezebel<\/a>, Lutfi served as Love\u2019s manager since at least March 2012, roughly around the time Lutfi\u2019s three-year-long legal battle against Spears<\/a> and her family came to an end. In a book written by Britney Spears\u2019 mother Lynne, she claimed that Lutfi secretly drugged Britney, cut off her means of communication and limited her mobility, effectively acting as her sole gatekeeper. Those accusations resulted in a defamation lawsuit filed by Lutfi.<\/p>\n

In 2016, a lawsuit accused Lutfi of helping to orchestra the alleged kidnapping<\/a> of Isaiah Silva, Frances Bean Cobain\u2019s ex-husband and current owner of Kurt Cobain\u2019s MTV Unplugged<\/em> guitar.<\/p>\n
