As per a report from People magazine, the protective order was filed on February 25 and detailed the events that led to the physical conflict between Selma Blair and her former partner Ronald Carlson. As per the documents obtained by the outlet, Carlson visited Blair's house after the 49-year-old actor was done with her multiple sclerosis treatment a few minutes prior.

The situation escalated from here as Blair claimed that Carlson started verbally assaulting her by remarking that she was 'usless' and he 'can do so much better than' her. The documents further revealed that Blair's ex-partner 'became enraged' and jumped 'on top of her body while she was lying prone on the sofa,'. 

The actor further claimed in her report that Carlson 'strangled her, throttling her and shaking her head and shoulders aggressively'. The actor further recounted that she put her fingers in her ex-boyfriend's mouth and screamed for help. In an attempt to stop her, Carlson alleged pressed his hand on Blair's mouth which caused her 'unable to breathe'. After losing consciousness briefly, the assault further escalated as Carlson struck Blair 'causing her to fall back to the floor and begin to bleed from her nose'.
