For the past four years of her relationship with her now ex-boyfriend Matt Prokop, Sarah Hyland says she was in an abusive relationship and knew she was in an abusive relationship, but never left. When she did finally break it off with her ex he threatened to kill her and himself and sent hundreds of texts and voice mails threatening her and himself. When Sarah did finally tell Matt she was leaving him she had friends at her house, including her Modern Family mother Julie Bowen who interceded when Matt started to become violent. Shortly after that Matt went to rehab but his doctors advised Sarah to get a restraining order against him because of the danger he posed to her.
This is some scary stuff. This is not a naked woman jumping into Keanu Reeves' pool when he is not home, this is a guy who would all Sarah horrible names when she was dressed in a way he thought was inappropriate and threaten her with violence and actually be violent towards her. When a doctor who is treating the guy calls and warns you about him then you know it must be something serious.
