Critical Role star Ashley Johnson has filed a restraining order against her ex-boyfriend Brian W. Foster, citing numerous acts of domestic violence and "acts of terror" against her and her family. ComicBook.com has reviewed several legal documents, including a temporary restraining order request filed on May 19th. According to the request, Johnson states that on "May 15, 2023, the police issued an [Emergency Protective Order] due to [Foster] having attempted to extort $150,000 from me (television/film actress), his history of verbal abuse, his very unhinged mind from his addictive use of narcotics, and several other reasons." Johnson stated that after Foster was forced to leave her home on May 15th, she found a "garotte and several airsoft guns" in a bag that she claims he carried with him after the pair broke up earlier this year.
