A judge has grantedSelma Blaira restraining order against her former boyfriend.
The actress filed for a protective order on Feb. 25 alleging Ronald Carlson, whom she dated for roughly seven years, physically attacked her on Feb. 22.
She alleges that in response Carlson verbally assaulted her, yelling that she is “useless,” adding: “I don’t f—ing deserve this, I can do so much better than you.”

She says that Carlson then “became enraged” and physically attacked Blair, “jumping on top of her body while she was lying prone on the sofa,” per court documents. She claims he “strangled her, throttling her and shaking her head and shoulders aggressively.”
She briefly lost consciousness before a further physical struggle ensued. Carlson allegedly slapped Blair, pushed the side of her head, “causing her to fall back to the floor and begin to bleed from her nose,” according to the filing.
Carlson left, and Blair called the Los Angeles Police Department, who arrived that evening. While she was speaking with officers, her nose began to bleed, and she passed out. She was taken to the hospital via ambulance for treatment, the documents state.

Blair notes in the filing that she was particularly afraid as she claimed Carlson has an unregistered and loaded firearm in his home and threatened to kill her during the alleged attack.
Carlson later filed for his own restraining order, which was denied.
Lawyers for both Blair and Carlson did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s requests for comment.
