Starpulse – A restraining order filed against Austin Powers star Verne Troyer by his ex-girlfriend has been dropped, after a judge ruled the pint-sized star is not a threat.
Yvette Monet, who briefly dated the actor after meeting him at a Playboy Mansion party a year ago, obtained a temporary order against Troyer last month, alleging he had bombarded her with abusive phone calls and left her fearing for her life.
Troyer filed a legal response to Monet’s allegations, insisting, “At no time did I ever threaten Ms. Monet or even hint to her that I would harm her in any way.”
Monet’s bid to make her order permanent has been rejected by a Los Angeles judge, reports TMZ.com

The pint-sized Austin Powers star briefly dated Yvette Monet after they met at a Playboy Mansion party in December (08). Last month (Nov09), she claimed he had bombarded her with abusive phone calls that left her fearing for her life.
Troyer insists her accusations are false and has filed a legal response in Los Angeles.
Monet received a protection order last month (Nov09) after she told a judge she feared for her life because members of Troyer’s entourage carry guns.
But Troyer maintains, “At no time did I ever threaten Ms. Monet or even hint to her that I would harm her in any way.”
According to the Austin Powers star, the couple got into a fight after she asked to borrow money to pay her bills, but refused to show him the actual bills.
He eventually handed her a check for $2,000 (£1,250) but they broke up days later, reports TMZ.com.
Troyer denies sending Monet threatening messages, insisting he only found out about the restraining order when he read about it.
Daily Mail – He’s famous for playing Dr Evil’s half-pint henchman Mini Me in the Austin Powers films, but it’s his alleged wrongdoings in real life that have landed Verne Troyer with a restraining order.
The pint-sized star’s ex-girlfriend, model Yvette Monet, claims he has been bombarding her with abusive texts and emails since their split earlier this year.
Yvette, 25, alleges that she feared for her life after the 40-year-old warned she ‘better watch out’ because his friends had guns.

She also says that the Hollywood actor constantly bombards her with abusive texts calling her a ‘hooker’.
‘I have moved on, [but] he keeps emailing me, calling me and texting me awful messages like “I hope God is with you”… Calling me names like hooker,’ Monet wrote in a court declaration obtained by website E! News.
‘He will not stop. I’ve asked him more than 10 times to leave me alone… He said that he won’t stop because he doesn’t want me to see anyone else.
‘Verne’s friend Bart is carrying guns and will do anything he says…his friend Jose is a cop and has guns as well’.
She told a judge in LA: ‘I’m afraid for my life.’
Troyer was temporarily banned from coming within 100 yards of Monet’s home, work or vehicle.

Tiny Hollywood star Verne Troyer is set to star in his own reality TV show. The Austin Powers actor, 39, has already begun shooting the series, and is hoping to attract interest from networks.
Troyer tells Us Weekly magazine, “It’s about being a dwarf in Hollywood.” He will be hoping for a more successful venture into reality TV, after an embarrassing episode on VH1’s The Surreal Life in 2007, when he got drunk and urinated on the floor.

“I feel like I have no privacy. Just because people are seeing something that was meant to be between me and her. That’s the biggest reason that I’m, you know, trying to stop the tape from being released.”
The diminutive actor says he feels “betrayed and hurt” by the release of the tape, and he denies all involvement in its release. Troyer and his attorney, Edwin McPherson, succeeded last week in upholding an injunction to prevent the sale of the tape while they try to shelve the issue entirely.
“I’ve been, for the past two weeks, three weeks probably, spending a lot of money to fight this. I have my lawyer and he’s doing a great job,” Troyer said.
According to Troyer, the couple had been dating about six months when the actor decided he wanted to break up with Shrider. He says this is what motivated her to give the footage to the website TMZ.
“I broke up with her in the middle of June; it was something probably to do with that. It was basically when she decided to give the tape away. I highly doubt that she thought that would get me back with her. Ransom or something,” Troyer said.
And what of claims made by Shrider, like that she nearly drowned the Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me star in a romantic bubble bath?
“There’s no incident like that. She’s coming up with things and telling media anything to make it interesting. I haven’t seen everything she’s done…The things she says just aren’t true,” he adds.
Must be awkward, then, considering the former couple still live together.
“She’s still in the house,” Troyer says, noting that he’s taking legal action to force her out, but their situation “makes it even harder, to, you know, not strangle her.”
According to the actor, his brunette ex has been taunting him.
“I saw her when I left today and she was calling me names and stuff. Uh, so I can’t get away from it,” he said, choking back tears.
Troyer says friends, family and attorney are helping him pull through the mess, but that the embarrassment “has already started affecting [work opportunities].”
