Salma Hayek was granted a restraining order Friday directing two women who have allegedly pretended to be the “Frida” star to stay away from the actress, her husband and their daughter.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Pro Tem said Liana Geordie Philippon and Odette Bodagh must remain at least 100 yards from Hayek, her husband, 53-year-old Francois-Henri Pinault and their daughter, 7-year-old Valentina.

Attached to the 48-year-old actress’ petition are copies of numerous text messages in which the two women allegedly impersonated Hayek while communicating with others.

“In one communication, while posing as Hayek, Philippon made a veiled threat regarding kidnapping and ransoming Hayek’s minor child,” according to Hayek’s attorneys’ court papers.

Philippon has a documented history of mental health issues and also has impersonated actress Angie Harmon, according to Hayek’s attorneys’ court papers.

Both Philippon and Bodagh demonstrated “mental instability” during questioning by Los Angeles police investigators, according to Hayek’s attorneys’ court papers.

A hearing is scheduled Sept. 4 on whether to extend the stay-away order.
