Zachary Ty Bryan’s Ex Granted 5-Year Restraining Order After Alleged Abuse
Actor Zachary Ty Bryan’s ex-girlfriend has accused him of physical and verbal abuse, leading to the granting of a five-year restraining order against him. The incident reportedly occurred in July, although no criminal charges have been filed as of yet.
According to court documents, the couple got into an altercation after the woman playfully bit Bryan’s nipple while they were lying down together. In response, Bryan allegedly punched her in the head, prompting her to seek legal protection.
After the restraining order was issued, Bryan expressed remorse in an interview with TMZ, taking full responsibility for his actions and expressing deep regret for any harm he may have caused. He emphasized that domestic violence is unacceptable in any form.
Bryan, who is 44 years old, opened up about his struggles with early fame, addiction, and poor decision-making, which have led to legal issues in the past, including DUIs and previous domestic incidents. He acknowledged that the recent situation has been a wake-up call for him.
In a statement, Bryan said, “The truth is, I’ve struggled with the lasting effects of early fame, addiction, and poor decision-making, which have hurt people I care about and led to repeated legal issues, including DUIs and past domestic incidents. This latest situation, involving a restraining order and serious accusations, has been a painful wake-up call.”
