The Somebody's Watching Me star, and son of Motown record label founder Berry Gordy, was allegedly beaten by ex Leslie Miller on 30 May (16). She was arrested for misdemeanour battery and released from jail on 2 June (16).

Since the incident, Rockwell, real name Kennedy William Gordy, claims Miller has been making threatening phone calls to him and his father, according to TMZ.com.

A judge has reportedly granted him the restraining order, which bans Miller from making contact or coming within 100 yards (91 metres) of him. Rockwell wanted his father to be granted the same protection, but has been told he will have to file his own request.

According to law enforcement sources, Miller wasn't prosecuted for the alleged incident due to insufficient evidence.

Rockwell, 52, was previously married to Nicole Moore, but they divorced after almost three years in 2013.
