Los Angeles, Jan 22 (IANS): Actress Christina Ricci has received a restraining order from the court against estranged husband James Heerdegen.
The actress, who had a court hearing earlier on Thursday, submitted proof of physical injury on her body and revealed that James had physically harmed her on multiple occasions, reports dailymail.co.uk.
