Drug Addicted Edward Furlong Currently In Lockdown, Ex-Wife Claims He Was Physically Abusive!

Filed under: Drugs > Legal Matters

Woe is the tragic tale of the former child actor!

Terminator 2 and American History X star Edward Furlong has been placed on lockdown due to suicide threats the actor made to his ex-wife, Rachel Kneeland.

And although Edward doesn't know it yet, Kneeland is about to slap her ex-husband and father of their 3-year-old son with a restraining order, ordering Furlong to remain at least 100 yards away from Kneeland at all times.

According to court documents, Edward has continually been physically abusive to Rachel while battling a severe addiction to cocaine, among other drugs.

"Edward grabbed me, bruised me, pushed me, made threats of more violence, left messages saying he would hire people to come and beat me with chains and bats. He is smoking cocaine and doing other various drugs. He is very unpredictable," says Kneeland in the docs.

Awful.

In the last few days, Furlong sent Kneeland "over 20 messages/text messages in the last 36 hours." She explains that Edward's on lockdown after calling 911 when the actor threatened to kill himself.

Rachel doesn't want to inform her ex-husband of the restraining order just yet, only because she's worried "he would lose it" if she told him while he's still on a 5150 hold.

  12. 12

    How out of it does he look?



  13. 13

    And Hollywood produces another winner.

    That is so sad. I used to be friends with Eddie about 10 years ago and he was a rough addict then, but really- such a sweet, sweet guy. He's just got a lot of problems and a tortured past. His upbringing was really sad. I hope he gets better some day :(



  15. 15

    ..I heard that she was abusive also. She gave him a lap dance and nearly crushed him to death.



  16. 16

    He looks like an abusive and crazy bastard, come to think about it. sorta looks like my ex and for sure he was a PSYCHO IDIOT too! HIs ass was hauled off as well as this moron!



  17. 17

    Didn't he turn down like 5 million to do terminator 3 because he wouldn"t go into rehab.He's ruined his carear!



  18. 18

    How many movies did this guy make? i just remember one of the terminator ones. that was a really good one, by the way, just saying..



  19. 19

    So, she doesn't want him to know she's got a restraining order, so you put it on your website? In today's world, there's a million ways he can get this info. You are a tard sometimes Perez



  20. 20

    she married him while he was a drug addict and screwing.up..why is she so surprised???



  21. 21

    Wow what a shame! He is a brilliant actor. I think he was on CSI or some show like that playing a psychopath I think. He was fantastic! I hope he gets clean. I think he will be the next Mickey Rourke if he smartens up. Tough love is the only way and abuse is never the answer.
