Kim Kardashian has been granted a restraining order against Dennis Shaun Bowman, a man who has been allegedly stalking the reality TV star.

NYDN reports that Bowman would show up at Kim's events in LA wearing joker face paint, and he apparently believes he's in a relationship with her! At one point NYDN reports that Bowman tweeted at Kim and apologized for missing an imaginary dinner date planned in Atlanta. Sounds like the restraining order was definitely warranted!

Bowman began sending Kim creepy Twitter messages last fall, and get this - he then moved from Georgia to Calabasas, California to be closer to her! Bowman even tweeted at Kim's boyfriend Reggie Bush, and understandably, Kim says she believes Bowman is an immediate threat. Under the restraining order, Bowman must stay 500 yards away from Kim and stop contacting her.
