Pop star Justin Timberlake was awarded a permanent restraining order today in L.A., according to TMZ.

The judge initially said Timberlake had to show up in person and testify. The singer/actor’s attorney argued that Timberlake was under contractual obligation to be on set for a movie.

Eventually, the team submitted a declaration on his behalf and later Karen McNeil was ordered to stay 100 yards away from him, his home and car.
