B.J. Penn’s mother, Lorraine Shin, has been granted a restraining order against him following his recent arrest.
Penn had been arrested on charges over abuse of a family/household member. The footage showed the arrest took place on May 25 in Hilo, Hawaii. The authorities arrived in Penn’s room, as he was taken by the authorities and then released on $2,000 bail. Penn alleged his family members were replaced by impostors and had been killed. The video below also shows Penn saying that the woman is not his mother.
“This lady right here, look at her ass and legs. She is acting like my 79-year-old mother, but she is not my 79-year-old mother. And it’s interesting when you Google ‘Lorraine Abile,’ our house pops up, ’cause this lady acts like Lorraine Inouye. So, you Google ‘Lorraine Abile,’ and this house pops up, and then you look, and my mom’s name starts popping up..She’s trying to steal everything, and this is not my mother. And I’m putting this out because she’s saying she’s going to get an attorney and try to do something. She’s trying to throw me out and if I attack her, she’ll try to do something, TRO (temporary restraining order) or something else,” Penn said
Shin informed the courts her son has a rare psychological disorder: Capgras syndrome. This causes a person to believe that their close ones are imposters. The order is for at least 180 days. Penn has been told to appear in court on June 10. Penn must be at least 100 feet away from his mother while he cannot contact her. If he breaches the order, he could be jailed.
“I believe my son [B.J. Penn] is suffering from Capgras delusional syndrome [a psychiatric disorder in which a person holds a delusion that a friend, spouse, parent, other close family member has been replaced by an identical imposter]. He believes I’m an imposter who has killed his family to gain control of the family assets,” Shin said
