(Newser) – Verne Troyer, better known as Mini-Me from Austin Powers, has already had a sex tape leaked—now he can add restraining order to his list of scandals. Ex-galpal Yvette Monet got the order last month after claiming she believes Troyer has a gun and she fears for her life, Radar reports. Troyer contacted her constantly after their breakup and eventually sent threats, the former beauty queen says in court documents.

I just wonder what it was that first attracted young beauty pageant winner Yvette Monet, to millionaire Verne Troyer?
