Dessarae is an author and songwriter, who has a restraining order against her by actor Colin Farrell. She first drew attention with her book My S&M Romp with Alec Baldwin. She says that Farrell then began calling her and they began a telephone relationship. When Farrell did not come to see her in person, though, she grew angry with him and sued him in small-claims court for the money she spent on their phone calls. He then claimed he did not know her, and that caused her to write another book, Colin Farell: Dark Twisted Puppy. Dessarae also filed a series of lawsuits against Farrell. In order to serve Farrell with papers from one of the lawsuits, she says, she confronted him on the set of the Tonight Show in the summer of 2006. That’s when he got the restraining order against her.
