However, it seems their relationship was not as idyllic as fans were led to believe. After “many acts of terror” and a history of verbal abuse, Johnson broke things off with Foster in March after allegedly attempting to do so for over two years. Afterward, Foster became even more violent and dangerous. According to Johnson, Foster’s frequent use of narcotics only stoked his unhinged behavior. This eventually led to Johnson fleeing her home and filing an emergency restraining order on May 15.
In the order, Johnson stated Foster was “close to the edge, has the ability to murder, and will cause harm not only to me but to [my family].” Foster allegedly locked Johnson out of the internet and all of her devices and cameras, causing her and her loved ones to fear for her life. Were that not enough, Foster attempted to extort $150,000 fromThe Last Of Usactressshortly after their breakup. The restraining order, which extends to Johnson’s mother, sister, and two nephews, is expected to have a hearing on June 9.
Johnson is perhaps most well-known for her role as Ellie fromThe Last of Usand her cameo as Ellie’s motherin its recent TV show, but she also starred inBlindspotas Patterson andTeen Titansas Terra. She is also featured on the main cast of theDungeons and Dragonsactual play groupCritical Roleand is the president of the Critical Role Foundation.

He hosted multipleCritical Roletalk shows, includingTalks MachinaandBetween the Sheets, participated in several one-shots, and ran theUndeadwoodminiseries.
