Selma Blair and ex-boyfriend granted temporary restraining orders against each other

LOS ANGELES — Actress Selma Blair was granted a temporary restraining order Wednesday against ex-boyfriend Ronald Carlson, whom she says attacked her last month. Then on Thursday, Carlson and his daughter were granted a temporary restraining order protecting them from Blair, whom Carlson accused of initiating the alleged incident Feb. 22.

The “Anger Management” TV actress said in a Feb. 25 filing with L.A. County Superior Court that that was the only time Carlson had allegedly attacked her. But it serious enough for LAPD officers to seek an emergency protective order to allow Blair time to file for a temporary restraining order.

In her filing, Blair says Carlson came to return a television and her key after she had completed an in-home intravenous medical treatment for her multiple sclerosis. He asked for his spare housekey back, according to the document, then became enraged and attacked her while she was resting on the couch.
