Salma Hayek Granted Restraining Order Against 2 Women Who Allegedly Impersonated Her

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — Actress Salma Hayek was granted a restraining order Friday against two women who allegedly pretended to be the "Frida" star.

The order requires Liana Geordie Philippon and Odette Bodagh to remain at least 100 yards from Hayek, her husband, 53-year-old Francois-Henri Pinault, and their daughter, 7-year-old Valentina.

Attached to the 48-year-old actress' petition are copies of numerous text messages in which the two women allegedly impersonated Hayek while communicating with others.

"In one communication, while posing as Hayek, Philippon made a veiled threat regarding kidnapping and ransoming Hayek's minor child," according to Hayek's attorneys' court papers.

Philippon has a documented history of mental health issues and also has impersonated actress Angie Harmon, according to Hayek's attorneys.

Both Philippon and Bodagh demonstrated "mental instability" during questioning by Los Angeles police investigators, according to Hayek's attorneys' court papers.

A hearing is scheduled Sept. 4 to decide whether to extend the stay-away order.
