‘Home Improvement’ alum allegedly threatened to kill ex-girlfriend: restraining order

Zachery Ty Bryan’s former girlfriend has been granted a five-year restraining order against him after the “Home Improvement” star allegedly “punched her in the head.”

The victim first contacted police after the actor, 44, allegedly hit her in the right temple of her head on July 3 after she playfully bit his nipple, per court documents obtained by TMZ.

Days later, the woman told law enforcement that she was scared for her safety when she and Bryan got into a verbal altercation.

She claimed he threatened to end her life and told her to, “Shut the f–k up or I’m gonna shut you up.”

Also during the verbal incident, she claimed to police that Bryan took their dog, locked himself in a room and punched the door, splitting it from its frame.

During the pair’s relationship — which she noted only lasted three months — the former sitcom star allegedly sprayed the dog in the face with bleach.

Reps for Bryan were not immediately available to Page Six for comment.

Bryan has been involved in several instances of domestic violence with his previous partners.

In October 2020, he was arrested after he allegedly choked his former fianceé.

Bryan was hit with two felonies and six misdemeanors, although he later claimed the incident was “blown out of proportion.”

“We got really loud. We were screaming and because we were in a townhome that had [thin walls], everybody could hear,” he told the Hollywood Reporter in 2023.

He added that they “didn’t even really get that physical.”

The “True Heart” star, who agreed to take a deal and pleaded guilty to menacing and fourth-degree assault in February 2021, told the outlet he “got two misdemeanors and called it a day.”

“At the end of the day, [the police] throw a bunch of counts at you because they ultimately want you to plead to something,” Bryan continued. “I could’ve fought it… but that’s more stress and drama.”

In his latest run-in with the law, Bryan was arrested for second-degree domestic violence in January after police found he had gotten into a physical fight at a residence in Myrtle Beach, S.C.

During the altercation, the troubled actor allegedly “punched a woman multiple times and threatened to kill her” before being arrested on New Year’s Day. Page Six can confirm that this case is still pending.

A mugshot obtained by Page Six showed Bryan disheveled with scratches and red marks on his face at the time of the arrest.
