Crispin Glover has claimed he was violently attacked by his former girlfriend and that photos included in a restraining order filing show the aftermath.
According to court documents filed in Los Angeles County and obtained by TMZ, the Back to the Future actor alleged that his ex forced her way into his home in March 2024 after he told her to stay away while he placed her belongings outside. He claimed she then contacted someone and threatened him before allegedly assaulting him.
Glover alleged the incident left him with visible injuries, including a cut on his face and bruising. Photos included in the filing reportedly show blood running down his cheek following the confrontation.
Law enforcement confirmed that the woman was arrested on suspicion of felony domestic violence in connection with the incident, though she was later released.
Glover also described a separate altercation from late 2023, alleging that his ex threw a suitcase at him, which he said caused pain but described it as less serious. In addition, he accused her of secretly recording a private conversation and later playing it back, leading him to believe she was trying to use the audio against him.
Despite filing for protection, Glover said he was unable to move forward with the restraining order after he could not locate her to serve the paperwork. The request was eventually dismissed when neither side appeared in court.
The legal battle between the two remains complicated. Glover’s former girlfriend has filed her own lawsuit, accusing the actor of abuse, manipulation, and wrongful eviction. She claims she was financially dependent on him and was left without housing after their relationship ended.
Glover has denied her allegations and maintains that he was the victim of violence. The dispute is ongoing, with both sides presenting starkly different accounts of what happened.
