Selma Blair Claims She Was 'Strangled' By Ex Ronald Carlson, Files for Protection

“Cruel Intentions” actress Selma Blair is filing a restraining order against ex-boyfriend Ronald Carlson after his domestic violence arrest. In documents obtained by The Blast, Carlson is also filing a restraining order against her as well.

In the court documents, Carlson says he was granted a temporary order of protection against Blair from February 25 through March 22. He alleges that she caused him emotional or physical harm on February 22.

In the document, he asks for the judge to keep her 100 yards or 300 feet away from him, his home, his job, his vehicle, and his daughter at all times. Carlson is also seeking protection for his daughter, age 12. He is also requesting a no-contact order and a stay-away order, stating that she lives only four miles away from him and that her son attends the same school as his daughter.

Carlson is requesting that she “be enjoined and restrained from contacting me and my daughter via email, social media, text message or by telephone.” He has also asked for Blair to be prohibited from contacting his daughter at school and claims that she has sent his daughter unsolicited text messages following the incident.

In the court documents, Carlson alleges that Blair “attacked me at her home, causing injuries to my face and body. Unfortunately, even though Selma was the aggressor and the one who initiated the attack, and I was the victim, she called the police after I left her home and falsely claimed that I had attacked her.”

He claims that this caused him to be arrested in front of his 12-year-old daughter. He claimed that Blair had called his daughter “a f---ing loser” before she “swung at my face with her right arm and struck me in my left eye.”

“We were still seated on the couch when she began to attack me with both arms, scratching and flailing toward my face,” he wrote. “She hit and scratched my nose, eyes, and cheeks numerous times.” He alleges that he took two photographs of his face which show scratches under his eye and his nose. He also claims that his left eye was “black and bruised and swollen.”

Selma Blair also filed a restraining order asking for protection for herself and her 10-year-old son. Her restraining order has already been approved. “My son lives with me and this attack occurred in my home,” she wrote in the documents. “Respondent is the father of a child who goes to the same school as my son. I am scared for the safety of both my son and myself following this attack.”

She is also asking him to stay away 100 yards or 300 feet away from her, her home, her workplace, her car, her son, and her son’s school, where his daughter also attends. She also sought protection for her dog, Pippa, a rescue mix.

According to the documents, Carlson went to her home to drop off a TV set on February 22, when Blair was heavily medicated due to her Multiple Sclerosis treatment. She says that he screamed, “You f---ed up, you can’t do anything, you can’t love anybody, you’re f---ing useless, you cripple” in the court documents. She claims that she responded, “I don’t f---ing deserve this. I can do so much better than you.”

She claims that while she was lying on the sofa, he lunged at her “and strangled her, throttling her and shaking her head and shoulders aggressively.”

According to the documents, Blair says that she stuck her fingers into his eyes and mouth to try to fend off his attack. She claims that she lost consciousness during the assault. When the police came to her house, Blair says that her nose began to bleed and she again lost consciousness.

During the encounter, Blair alleges that he said things like, “F--- you, you f---ing loser, I’ll get you, you are so done” and “I will f---ing ill you” multiple times. Photographs noted in the LAPD Investigative Report list “One photo from her full face, three photos from the red marks around her neck and under her chin, and three photos from the red marks on her left and right hand.”

She also indicated that she believes that Carlson is in possession of an unregistered loaded firearm and claimed that he had previously shown her the weapon. Carlson claimed that Blair's bloody nose was the result of an ongoing problem and attached a text message exchange that allegedly took place two days before the incident.
