Rihanna gets restraining order against stalker (Video)

Rihanna has taken swift action against a stalker who broke into a neighbor's home thinking it was hers. The singer obtained a restraining order against Steveland Barrow, who was arrested last week when he broke into a neighbor's home and slept in one of the beds.

Barrow reportedly thought that he was entering Rihanna's home and was under the impression that he was sleeping in the singer's bed as he told police that he was invited into the residence. The intruder not only busted personal bubbles by sleeping in a bed that was not his, but also stole property from the home owners.

RiRi appealed to the courts upon hearing of the incident, telling the judge that she feared for her safety and well-being. The courts subsequently granted her a temporary restraining order that prohibits Steveland from being within 100 yards of her.

Rihanna recently celebrated her 25th birthday with a party and memories. The singer shared a photo of her 20th birthday party tweeting, "My surprise 20th birthday party!! Im an old b--- now! Thank God for His gifts and His endless mercies!" Rihanna was born on February 20, 1988 in Saint Michael, Barbados. This is not the first time the singer has been stalked.
