Frankie Muniz 911 Call: 'She's Hitting Me in the Face'

By PopEater Staff Posted Feb 18th 2011 05:41PM

Frankie Muniz's 911 call has been released a week after police came to his Arizona home amidst a domestic disturbance with girlfriend Elycia Turnbow, with Muniz reportedly holding a gun to his head and threatening suicide.

"My girlfriend is drunk and she's going crazy and she's trashing my house," a breathless Muniz tells police on the call. "She's hitting me in the face. I don't know what to do, I'm about to lose control."

Muniz refuses to give his name at first, saying "I don't want there to be a big deal, 'cause I'm a celebrity."

The Feb. 11 fight is audible in the background of the call. Muniz, 25, tells longtime girlfriend Turnbow, 33, "Babe, you just damaged the house. You're still damaging it."

RadarOnline.com founder and executive vice president David Perel tells PopEater, "This is a wild and chaotic 911 call. You can clearly hear how distressed he is. The call places you right in the middle of their explosive fight. Forget reality TV -- this is true unscripted celebrity drama."

Muniz, who seems to have willingly dialed 911, begs the responder, "I don't want any charges, I just want her to stop throwing stuff. I don't wanna make it a big deal, please. I actually don't want you guys to come out. I just need ... can you talk to her and tell her to calm down?"

Pressed for details, a clearly conflicted, emotional Muniz says: "We had a pretty bad day, but she came in and punched me in the face and then started throwing anything she could get her hands on."

Muniz says Turnbow was "throwing $10,000 art pieces around."

Turnbow can be clearly heard yelling. "Now the love of my life hates me because she's having a bad day," he says before confirming Turnbow had been drinking. "We're partially going through a breakup, but we're trying to figure everything out."

On Feb. 14, three days after the fight, Muniz posted a photo on Twitter featuring a romantic dinner, writing, "I love @elyciamarie."

Since the initial police report hit, rumors of suicide attempts and assault have popped up and since been denied. Muniz's rep, Lauren Tobin, released a statement reading:

"Frankie and Elycia had an argument a few days ago. The police were called to the residence. A gun played no part in the argument and was voluntarily given to the police for safekeeping. There were no bruises and neither left the residence. He was not suicidal. She was not assaulted. They have been together since the incident; are still together and are moving forward with their lives and with their relationship."

Tobin also told PEOPLE the pair are not "interested in finger-pointing at the other. It was a situation that escalated beyond a point that it needed to be. If anything, they will look back at this as a learning opportunity."

I dont understand whats wrong with what I had wrote.
Others are saying horrible things about this man, and its going through for them. If I write Frankie is a loser creep, will that go through aol?
I dont get why I cant say what Frankie does, race car driver, a drum player in a band, and he is starring in a new movie.
I just dont see why this is negative, or in bad taste, rude, nothing wrong with this at all aol.
aol, I have offended you in any way I do apologize.
But I dont get it, I really dont.

thank you.

From what I am reading of the incident, it could be that they just had a huge fight (probably) or she might be borderline abusive to him and insecure.

The worst part of this is, if SHE called 911 and reported HIM, he'd be behind bars so fast he wouldn't know what hit him. Domestic violence has a zero tolerance ... but only when women report it against men. Men who call authorities with a report of domestic violence are mocked, ignored, or they themselves get charged. Women hold virtually all the power in these situations.

I am a woman by they way, and sick of this double standard. Women demand equality, but only when it suits us.
