Terri SeymourTerri Seymour, best known for being “American Idol” judge Simon Cowell’s ex and for being an “Extra” correspondent, has filed for a restraining order against Janice Thibodeaux.

Seymour says she was “viciously assaulted” by the 33-year-old woman, in the document. She also added that Thibodeaux has since “sought publicity for her wrongful act and stated to the media that they were intentional and that she does not regret them.”

Seymour is asking Thibodeaux to stay 100 yards away from her place of work, home and car. As for her reason for attacking Seymour, Thibodeaux told Radar Online that she wanted to get back at Simon Cowell for pretending to choke fellow “Idol” judge Paula Abdul during the show.
