A Los Angeles judge has granted Nicole Richie a temporary restraining order against paparazzo Bam Bam as well as his partner, Ivon Miguel.

The paps have been given the order to stay at least 100 yards away from Richie, as well as her kids Harlow and Sparrow, at all times.

According to legal docs filed by Nicole, the two paps would regularly "sit outside [her] house, waiting for [her] to leave," and "scream at [Richie] in an attempt to her [her] reaction," as well as chasing Richie in their car.

Nicole alleges that their abuse has caused her "severe emotional distress" and she fears that if the restraining order were to not be granted, another accident may happen, but "this time with [Richie's] infant children in the vehicle."

Seriously!

Nicole and the paps are due back in court on November 16th to decide whether or not to extend the restraining order.

We say yes!
