(10/23/03, 4 p.m. ET) --Hollywood power couple Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith have filed a restraining order against a former employee. According to PeopleNews, the actors allege that Mike and Marilu Cooley--who were their employees until last year-have made threats against the Smith's children. Documents filed to support the request specify that Mr. Cooley approached the children while they were playing in a park and attempted to use them as, quote, "pawns in his attempts to extort money," and also threatened to disclose, quote, "embarrassing allegations" about the Smiths unless he was paid a, quote, "outrageous" sum of money.
Marilu Cooley also has an outstanding lawsuit against her former employers, whom she says owe her $175,000 in unpaid overtime and back pay.
