Mickey Rooney has obtained a temporary restraining order against his stepson, who is accused in court documents of allegedly abusing the actor and meddling in his finances.
Lawyers for Rooney obtained a restraining order requiring stepson Chris Aber to stay 100 yards award from the 90-year-old and his home.
Court documents allege Aber has prevented Rooney from leaving the house, forced the actor to sign documents without reading them and has been withholding food and medicine.
The filing describes Aber as making Rooney a “prisoner in his own home”.
The actor’s lawyers also obtained a temporary conservatorship for Rooney to protect his personal and financial interests.
The order allows his legal team to secure Rooney’s financials assets and obtain control of his website and any financial documents in Aber’s possession.
Rooney is described in a news release about the case as still being sharp-witted.
“All I want to do is live a peaceful life, to regain my life and be happy,” Rooney wrote in a statement. “I pray to God each day to protect us, help us endure, and guide those other senior citizens who are also suffering.”
Rooney’s film career spans more than eight decades and he has received four Academy Award nominations and an honorary Oscar.
