Former child star Eddie Furlong is cash-strapped and prohibited from coming within 100 yards of his estranged wife.
Furlong, who appears alongside Seth Rogan and Cameron Diaz in the new superhero comedy The Green Hornet, was arrested in Los Angeles Tuesday morning after violating a restraining order taken out by Rachael Bella Kneeland, who filed for divorce from Furlong last year.
Kneeland obtained a three year restraining order several months ago, claiming in court papers that Furlong, 33, was using cocaine and had abused her. She also alleged that her ex — the father of her four-year-old son, Ethan — threatened to “hire people to come beat me with chains and bats.”
Los Angeles prosecutors say Furlong, who says he’s on his last leg financially, pleaded no contest in November to violating the court’s order. A progress hearing Tuesday determined he violated those same terms several weeks later.
He’s since been released on $75,000 bond.
Furlong found fame as a teenager after appearing in the box office action hit Terminator 2.
The Green Hornet opens in theaters Friday.
