Though Sarah Hyland has moved her from her abusive relationship with Matt Prokop, her ex is clearly not over the split.
Amid news that the Modern Family star has gotten matching tattoos with new boyfriend Dominic Sherwood, her former beau took to Twitter — because, you know, he has a restraining order filed against him when he verbally and physically attacked Hyland — to shade his former girlfriend and her current flame.
In a series of not-so-subtle subtweets, he wrote:
Never make permanent decisions based on temporary feelings.

I'll be honest. It hurts like hell watching someone you care about slowly ruin their life. When you can't do anything to help. #FallenAngel

Sometimes you just have to laugh…

Hyland and Prokop, both 24, began dating after meeting at an audition for High School Musical 3: Senior Year. They were in a relationship for for five years before calling it quits in August 2014.
Later, a request for a temporary restraining order filed Hyland revealed that Prokop had “terrorized her both verbally and physically during the last 4 years of their relationship.” The document claimed Prokop had also “threatened to set one of [Hyland’s] homes on fire and threatened that she would never see her dog (Barkley) again.”
Prokop has since been ordered to stay 100 yards away from Hyland, her home and her dog at all times. He is also forbidden to own or possess a gun or ammunition and to go near his ex’s job or workplace.
