Tragic Details About Lisa Robin Kelly

Publish date: 2024-05-09

Sadly, it wasn't the first time that Lisa Robin Kelly had been involved in a domestic violence dispute. In March 2012, just months before her marriage to Robert Gilliam, she was arrested on suspicion of spousal abuse against her then-boyfriend, John Michas. Speaking to "Good Morning America" following the incident, she claimed that the accusations against her had been fabricated and that she was the one who had been assaulted, not Michas. Speaking to TMZ, the star alleged that her ex-boyfriend had become hostile when she'd tried to leave him. She elaborated, "I am clean and sober and ... I am completely innocent. I weigh 105 pounds. I could never hurt him." Michas didn't respond to the allegations. 

Prior to her death, Kelly had appeared to have reconciled her relationship with Michas. According to TMZ, both he and Gilliam spent some time pointing fingers at each other due to their respective treatment of the late actor. While Michas claimed that his girlfriend's problems had been exacerbated by the alleged physical and emotional abuse she'd experienced from her ex-husband, Gilliam suggested that her boyfriend was simply trying to deflect from his own guilt, stating, "In the last two weeks, she called me 22 times to get away from [Michas]." Her ex-husband further claimed that he was attempting to set her up with treatment at a facility closer to his home at the time of her death.
