    The actress feared for the safety of herself and her mother after an obsessed fan claimed to have a metaphysical connection with her

    Blake Lively has been forced to get a restraining order against an obsessed fan.

    In an application to the Los Angeles Superior Court, the Gossip Girl star has requested that Sergei Mifle, who claims to have a metaphysical and spiritual connection with the 24-year-old, remain 100 yards from her and her property.

    The actress' mother, Elaine Lively, who it is said has been contacted by Sergei on numerous occasions, is also protected by the restraining order.

    According to the application, obtained by TMZ.com: 'Respondent Milfe's harassing and stalking behaviour has steadily intensified between February 1 and the present causing Lively and her mother significant distress and anxiety.'

    Lively is apparently concerned that without the restraining order, Sergei will continue to show up at the Gossip Girl set as filming locations can be 'easily obtained.'
