'Diff'rent Strokes' Star Todd Bridges Accused of Threatening Ex with a Crossbow, Firing a Taser at Her

An ex-girlfriend of "Diff'rent Strokes" star Todd Bridges claims he threatened her on various occasions — with weapons ranging from a crossbow to a taser — and now she's afraid for her life.
A woman named Tiffany Wolf was granted a temporary restraining order against Bridges, barring the former child star from coming within 100 yards of her or her pets (more on them in a bit).
According to Wolf, she met Bridges on a dating site and she claims that during their second date, he "took out taser and zapped it several times inches from my face."
Apparently undeterred by that incident, Wolf continued to see Bridges and claims the first time she spent the night at his house, he showed her a crossbow and "quickly removed the gun & bullets under his pillow." She also claims that Bridges told her he "had beaten up homeless people trying to break into his house."
A few weeks later, Wolf claims Bridges pointed the crossbow at her and then two weeks later "pulled gun on dog because he thought someone was breaking in."
She also claims he told her that "he had shot someone before & did not know whether they lived or died."
Wolf says she ended things in May and claims beginning in July, he started harassing her on Twitter. She claims to have received harassing messages from Bridges and also claims his best friend started tweeting about her.
As a result, Wolf says she broke out in shingles and has gone on anti-anxiety meds.
"I am in fear of my life because I know Todd is mentally unstable and has weapons," she writes, "including a crossbow he says he has so he can 'sneak up on people' and a small loaded gun."
Bridges was also ordered to stay 100 yards away from Wolf's cat and dog because she fears "he might harm them in retaliation for my police report and TRO request."
If that sounds familiar, that's because Bridges claimed the same thing in his TRO request against a different woman last week.
As The Blast first reported, Todd Bridges claims his porn star ex-girlfriend, Melissa Hill, has been harassing him since they split up. Bridges believes Hill “will attack my dog if she’s not able to get to me. She could easily throw poisoned food over my fence.”
Bridges and Wolf have a hearing set for later this month.
A source close to Todd Bridges tells The Blast he has not seen Wolf in months and he believes she is working with Hill to harass him. We're told while he does own a crossbow (it's hanging up in his house) he denies ever using it to threaten her.
UPDATE
August 16 2:55 PM PT — Bridges' lawyer tells The Blast he plans to file a restraining order of his own against Wolf.
