Michael Pitt, a 44-year-old actor from the American historical crime drama 'Boardwalk Empire,' was arrested last Friday (the 2nd) on charges of sexually assaulting and attacking his ex-girlfriend. He is accused of assault with a weapon for sexual purposes, strangulation, sexual abuse, and coercion. According to court documents, Michael allegedly attacked his then-girlfriend four times at his New York residence between April 2020 and August 2021, reportedly using a wooden board and a brick in separate incidents. Michael denies all charges and was released on bail for $100,000 (approximately 420,000 MYR).
Michael was a main character in the first two seasons of 'Boardwalk Empire,' but his character was killed off reportedly due to difficulties in collaboration. In July 2022, he was arrested for allegedly assaulting a man multiple times and stealing his phone. In the same year, he was accused of throwing objects at passersby from a rooftop and was hospitalized for emotional distress.
