Judge Grants Protective Order Requiring Djimon Hounsou To Stay 200 Yards From Ex, Children

The ruling responds to dueling allegations, with a hearing set for early February.

Overview

  • Ri'za Marie Simpson obtained a temporary order barring Hounsou from contact and requiring a 200-yard distance from her and the children until the court date.
  • Simpson sought protection after her mid-January arrest, alleging wrongful detention, financial abuse, and an attempted illegal eviction in court filings.
  • Police reports reflect Hounsou’s account that Simpson struck him during a December dispute, leading to her January 16 arrest for simple assault and obstruction.
  • Authorities also accused Simpson of providing false information, with an additional custody action recorded on January 20.
  • Simpson released audio from the December incident about access to keys and alleged in filings that Hounsou slammed a car door and yelled; Hounsou has not publicly commented.
