Zachery Ty Bryan's controversies

Bryan had previously faced serious accusations involving Johnnie Cartwright after an alleged violent incident in 2020. He was charged at the time with felony strangulation, menacing, assault and harassment.

According to Page Six, a police report revealed that Cartwright claimed that she woke up to Bryan pulling her hair and hitting her during an argument that reportedly began over missing phone chargers. She also alleged that the abuse had started weeks earlier, accusing him of choking her to the point where she struggled to breathe.

Later, Bryan was convicted only of menacing and assault charges.

Later, he reacted to the situation, insisting that it had been “blown out of proportion”, reported Page Six. He reportedly claimed that it “didn’t even really get that physical.”

“We got really loud. We were screaming, and because we were in a townhome with thin walls, everybody could hear,” he said in a June 2023 interview with The Hollywood Reporter.

Earlier this year, Bryan was taken into custody after he allegedly “punched a woman multiple times and threatened to kill her", reported multiple news portals. However, it remains unclear if the woman was Cartwright.

Reportedly, an ex of the actor was granted a five-year restraining order against him earlier his month. It is believed that she had accused him of “punching her in the head” in July.
