Ex-girlfriend defends Hall

NEW YORK, Dec. 3 (UPI) -- Anthony Michael Hall's former girlfriend says she doesn't believe allegations the U.S. actor assaulted another woman.

Actress Sandy Guerard, who lived with Hall for five years, told the New York Post she doesn't think Hall attacked another ex-girlfriend, Diana Falzone, as the Sirius Radio host recently claimed.

"He has one of the biggest hearts of anyone I know. He is absolutely not violent. These allegations would be laughable if it were not such a serious issue," Guerard told the Post. "Never in over 10 years has this man ever been violent to me. I will stand by him, along with his family, 100 percent. It saddens me to the core that his bipolar disorder, something that is so private, has now become public."

Falzone was recently granted a restraining order against Hall after she filed a police complaint against the 41-year-old star of "National Lampoon's Vacation," "Sixteen Candles," "Weird Science" and "The Breakfast Club."

The radio personality said Hall attempted to kick in the front door of her New York apartment, then smacked her head into a wall.
