Paula Abdul might have bigger problems than her unintelligible ramblings and Simon’s nasty remarks on “American Idol.” The former Laker Girl broke up with her boyfriend, entrepreneur J.T. Torregani, back in March, but apparently, J. T. didn’t take the news very well. Since the breakup, sources say that Paula has been getting phone calls, texts and unwanted visits from J. T. and is even thinking about issuing a restraining order against him.

Paul Abdul has told ex J.T. Torregani to stay away- and she’s even threatening to have him served with a restraining order because she claims he has violent outbursts and is stalking her!

The “American Idol” judge says 33-year-old restaurateur J.T. tried to kick down the door of her Los Angeles home- and she’s now so scared she has hired a bodyguard, according to pals.

“Paula says she’s terrified over what J.T. might do,” a source close to the performer told The Enquirer. “She claims they broke up after eight months and she put him out of her house. J.T. started harassing her.

“Paula complained that J.T. left dozens of voicemails and text messages on her phone, and when she didn’t reply, the messages became more and more menacing.”

Paula also claims J.T. has been showing up at shops and restaurants she frequents, looking for her, added the source.

Sometimes a restraining order makes the situation even worse- especially if the police don’t take the stalker’s threats seriously. Paula definitely has some issues and may even be a looney, but she still deserves her privacy and to be free from harassment. Hopefully, if this story is true, Paula will get cooperation from law enforcement and make it clear to her ex that it’s over and he needs to move on. She really does have bad luck with men, doesn’t she?
