Los Angeles (CNN) -- "Modern Family" actress Sarah Hyland asked for and received a temporary restraining order against her ex-boyfriend, actor Matthew Prokop, her lawyer said Tuesday. "The documents speak for themselves," attorney Lee Sherman said in a statement sent to CNN. He declined to give details of what happened to bring the case before a Los Angeles judge. CNN was unable to obtain the judges order Tuesday evening, but celebrity news website TMZ published quotes from the document. "His grip was so tight that I could not breathe or speak," Hyland, 23, said in a sworn statement. "I was scared and in fear for my life."
