Laura Prepon Obtains Protection Order From Obsessed 'OITNB' Fan (PHOTO)

"Orange Is the New Black" star Laura Prepon and Jenji Kohan, the creator of the hit Netflix series, were both granted restraining orders against William Austin III, an obsessed fan who has repeatedly threatened the women on social media, TMZ reported.

Prepon and Kohan filed separate restraining orders against Austin, according to Gossip Cop. Kohan's court filing cited a recent Instagram post she received from Austin, which contained a recorded audio message from Austin to Kohan.

"Get ready, violence is coming," Austin threated in the message, according to court documents obtained by TMZ.

Prepon cited a photo that Austin posted on Twitter in her documents. Austin posted a photo of the actress along with an aggressive caption. "Here is a recent picture of LauraPrepon my Wifey and Friend," Austin wrote in a screenshot of the tweet obtained by HNGN. He punctuated his tweet with an angry face, kiss mark, diamond ring, gun and knife emoji.

A judge ordered Austin to stay 100 feet away from Prepon and Kohan, the Daily Mail reported. Both restraining orders also require Austin to keep away from both women's families and homes.

Kohan serves as the executive producer and writer on "OITNB," according to IMDb. Prepon plays Alex Vause and has appeared in 30 episodes of the popular series.
