Zachery Ty Bryan and Then-Pregnant Fiancee Johnnie Had Heated Dispute Months Before His Arrest
usmagazine.comZachery Ty Bryan was arrested earlier this week following an alleged physical domestic dispute with an unnamed woman — and Us Weekly has learned that he contacted police in Eugene, Oregon, months prior about an alleged incident with fiancée Johnnie Faye Cartwright.According to a Eugene Police Department 911 dispatch report obtained by Us, Bryan, 41, claimed while speaking to law enforcement in April that Cartwright, 30, was threatening to stab herself in the stomach.
He claimed she sent him text messages about “betrayal” and “killing self.” Cartwright was pregnant with twins at the time. She gave birth to Parker and Sequoia, whom she shares with Bryan, in May.
The duo previously welcomed daughter Kennedy in April 2022. (Bryan also shares four children with ex-wife Carly Matros: twin daughters Taylor and Gemma, born in 2014, daughter Jordana, born in 2016, and son Pierce, born in 2019.)The report also noted that the Home Improvement alum claimed Cartwright “usually threatens suicide when a decision is made that she does not like,” although he noted she had never attempted suicide before.
Bryan told police he thought Cartwright’s statements were a “facade” and told authorities, “I just make the money.”Law enforcement officials then contacted Cartwright, noting in the same April police report that Cartwright recalled having a heated phone conversation with Bryan, although she denied being suicidal.
