AceShowbiz - Salma Hayek has won restraining order against two female stalkers who allegedly tried to kidnap her daughter Valentina. Salma said "mentally disturbed" Liana Philippon and Odette Bodagh "have a dangerous fixation" with her and have impersonated her around the town in a bid to get close and possibly kidnap Valentina.
According to a court filing obtained by New York Daily News, Liana and Odette have impersonated Salma in conversations which "give the appearance that they believe that they are friends with Hayek despite never meeting her." The filing added, "Bodagh has expressed her love for Hayek, including stating that she left her husband for Hayek." The women recently tried to contact Valentina directly while impersonating the actress.
Liana allegedly began the harassment in June 2014 when she contacted Salma's brother posing as actress Angie Harmon and asking for Salma's contact information to discuss a script. A month later, Liana contacted Salma's co-star Sasha Alexander while posing as the "Frida" actress. The stalker forwarded an email to Sasha containing "a kidnapping and extortion threat focused on Hayek's daughter," including "I know where her daughter will be How much is her life worth."
A Los Angeles judge granted the "Everly" actress' request for temporary restraining orders on Friday, August 14 and set a follow-up hearing for September 4. Liana and Odette were ordered to stay at least 100 yards away from Salma, her husband Francois-Henri Pinault and Valentina. They were also banned from any communication with the actress' family.
