Kate Major Gets Whacking Protection From Michael Lohan

Kate filed the petition for a protective order in Sarasota -- alleging Lohan has also been harassing her with incessant phone calls and texts, threatening to "ruin her career."

A judge issued the temporarily order Wednesday, ordering Michael to stay at least 500 feet away from Kate. The judge also ordered that Michael can't have Kate or her father followed by hired muscle. He also is prohibited from phoning or texting her.
