Reports have stated recently that Ryan Seacrest, most well known for hosting “American Idol,” is seeking a restraining order against Chidi Benjamin Uzomah Jr. after he was arrested outside of Seacrest’s work. Uzomah has allegedly been stalking Seacrest and had previously pled guilty to multiple misdemeanor charges. These charges stemmed from an event involving Seacrest also. One of Seacrest’s bodyguards was assaulted by Uzomah during the previous incident. Ryan Seacrest had a temporary restraining order against Uzomah and was granted a permanent restraining order at a hearing in November which is designed to keep Uzomah away from Seacrest for 3 years.
