According to court documents obtained by E! News, Hyland stated in her filing that Prokop "relentlessly bombarded me with vile, threatening and emotionally disturbing texts and voice mails including his own suicide threats" after she broke up with him.
The 23-year-old actress alleges in the filing that, during an argument in May, Prokop pinned her against a car and repeatedly called her the c-word while choking her.
"His grip was so tight that I could not breathe or speak," she states in the documents. "I was scared and in fear for my life."
Reps for Prokop have not yet returned requests for comment.
Lee A. Sherman, Hyland's attorney, said in a statement released to E! News by her rep: "On September 19, 2014, Ms. Hyland obtained a Domestic Violence Temporary Restraining Order against Matthew Prokop. The documents filed speak for themselves. Out of respect for the court, the process and all parties, I have advised Ms. Hyland not to comment on the matter. We request that you respect the parties' privacy during this time."
As for the TRO also protecting her dog, Hyland's petition alleges that Prokop threatened her at one point that she would never see her dog again.
