That sounds like a different injunction?

This injunction was by Russell Brand and against his accuser, Sylvie Berki, who couldn’t afford a lawyer and represented herself against him, and the judge basically steamrolled her and bankrupted her. The injunction explicitly spelled out who she can discuss it with and the list is very short.

It does seem like this specific judge had a problem with litigants-in-person, and he was acting against specific guidance on how to treat them. Regardless, his injunction against her still stands.
