Everything would have been better had Anthony Michael Hall stayed his scrawny lil' lovable self, but the one-time geek had to grow up. Page Six reports today that the now 41-year-old has been ordered to keep his distance from ex-girlfriend Diana Falzone, "after he allegedly stalked her and attacked her in her New York apartment."
Falzone, a Sirius Radio host and HuffPo relationship columnist, slapped the restraining order on her ex, who suffers from bipolar disorder. It states he must "refrain from assault, stalking, harassment ... menacing, reckless endangerment ... intimidation."
This comes after Hall kicked down her door during an early morning unexpected visit, which according to police reports was followed by him bashing her head against a wall.
