All may by fair in love and war, but everything isn't exactly 100 percent legal. According to the latest gossip news updates, Modern Family star Sarah Hyland is literally fearing for her life after being informed that her ex-boyfriend, Matt Prokop, had been released from rehab. Word has it that Sarah formalized the split from her allegedly violent boyfriend only after convincing the struggling actor to seek help for his supposed dependence on drugs and alcohol. But now, Matt is back out on the streets and Hyland is reportedly scared that her two temporary restraining orders may not be enough to keep her safe.
Apparently, Modern Family starlet, Sarah Hyland has been dealing with the boyfriend form hell for years--quietly dealing with abuse and humiliation behind the scenes of her five-year relationship with fellow actor Matt Prokop.
In court documents from her temporary restraining order against Prokop, Sarah recalled one terrifying incident that she felt lucky just to live though (via OK! Magazine):
"His grip was so tight, I couldn't breathe or speak.
"I was in fear for my life."
A behind the scenes source that spoke with the publication for their October 13, issue claimed that Sarah was so frightened of Matt that she had to make sure Prokop was locked away before trying to breakup with him:
"Sarah pushed Matt into rehab for weed and booze and once he was there she broke it off--she is so sweet and now she in genuinely frightened!
"Despite being obsessed with Sarah, he treated her like crap and cheated on her...Matt's family think he is bipolar, as it runs in the family."
Whatever Matt's issues may or may not be, a friend on the Hyland's told Star Magazine that the 24-year-old actress is absolutely terrified of what Prokop may do next:
"Now that he's out of rehab, Sarah is absolutely beside herself.
"She's completely shaken up and is keeping her phone by her side at every moment, fully ready to call for help if need be."
Right now, Prokow is reportedly back in Texas--where Hyland also has a restraining order--and from the sound of things, everyone pretty much hopes that he will say there...forever.
