Judge Extends Restraining Order Against UFC Star B.J. Penn Filed by His Mother
- A judge in Hilo extended the temporary restraining order filed on May 27, 2025, by 79-year-old Lorraine Shin against her son, B.J. Penn, mandating that he leave their shared residence and maintain a distance of at least 100 yards.
- The restraining order follows multiple incidents, including Penn's May 25 assault arrest and allegations of abuse, theft, and delusional behavior with Shin claiming he suffers from Capgras syndrome.
- During Tuesday's court session, Shin signed the revised eight-page restraining order that denied Penn's request to stay in the residence, while Penn appeared as required but declined to provide his signature on the order.
- Penn faces three criminal charges with $6,000 bail, must attend court hearings Wednesday, and prosecutors seek a court-ordered mental health exam after he posted links suggesting cognitive decline.
- The extended restraining order and ongoing legal actions highlight continued family conflict and concerns over Penn’s mental health and compliance with court-ordered protections.
