His victim was his then-girlfriend Johnnie Faye Cartwright. In a recent interview with “The Hollywood Reporter,” Bryan claimed that the incident was “Blown out of proportion” by the media.
He further alleged, “We didn’t even really get that physical. We got really loud. We were screaming and because we were in a townhome that had [thin walls], everybody could hear,” he also said his then-girlfriend “Johnnie was, at the time, just really upset about my situation.”
“At the end of the day, [the police] throw a bunch of counts at you because they ultimately want you to plead to something. I could’ve fought it… but that’s more stress and drama. I got two misdemeanors and called it a day,” added Bryan.
Meanwhile, the police told “E! News” at the time that Bryan, “Assaulted the victim, impeded her breathing, and [took] the victim’s phone from her when she tried to call 911,” but Bryan claimed that Cartwright was out to “ruin his career.”
