The Skinny Confidential He and She Podcast
Julie Bowen recognizes that he helped his “Modern Family” co-star Sarah Hyland left an abusive relationship in the past… and also says he didn’t even think twice.
The actress opened up about her 2014 split from Sarah on Monday’s episode of “The Skinny Confidential Him & Her Podcast,” and when it was pointed out to her that SH had yelled at her for helping her at the time, Julie made it seem like it was a no brainer and NBD.
Julie explained that her intervention was the obvious thing to do, just a case of “a responsible adult being around at the right time.” She says she was sure others would have done the same.
The actress didn’t reveal who the other person in Hyland’s relationship was — something online fans felt was the perfect response to respecting her costar’s privacy. Of course, everyone seems to have an idea of who it is… because it’s been well publicized.
TMZ broke the story at the time… Sarah obtained a restraining order against actor Matt Prokop in 2014 – claiming in court documents that he suffocated her and also said he would kill himself if she broke up with him.
She also stated that she asked Julie to come to her house to intervene and help her end the relationship peacefully. Sarah later received a three-year restraining order against Matt.
Prokop faced a similar complaint against him last month… you may recall, TMZ reported that he was arrested in Texas after his girlfriend claimed he assaulted her. Officers told us she suffered enough injuries to warrant an arrest.
