Police were called to former Malcolm in the Middle star Frankie Muniz’s house after a fight with his girlfriend turned serious, according to People. His publicist girlfriend, Elycia Turnbow, told police that Muniz put a handgun to his head “possibly with [the] intent of committing suicide.” The actor’s rep countered, saying, “A gun played no part in the argument and was voluntarily given to the police for safekeeping… He was not suicidal.” Ironically, Muniz was the one who called police to the residence, complaining that Turnbow was “throwing things and hitting [him].”
