Inside ‘How I Met Your Mother’, the actor’s horrific attack on his ex-girlfriend

The criminal case stems from his brutal attack on his ex-girlfriend, makeup artist Allie Shehorn, in May 2024, according to a press release from the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office. Shehorn’s friends told the story KTL that Pasqual broke into his estranged girlfriend’s Los Angeles home at 4:40 a.m. on May 23, 2024, before stabbing her multiple times.

The victim had filed a restraining order against Pasqual at the time of the attack.

Then-Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón said in a statement: “My thoughts and heartfelt condolences go out to the victim of this horrific incident. Our office, including our Bureau of Victim Services, offers her our support and resources as she begins the long and difficult journey of healing from both the physical and emotional trauma inflicted on her. This horrific incident is a stark reminder of the dangers of domestic violence. We will ensure that the person responsible for this egregious act is held accountable for their actions.”

Shehorn’s surrogate mother, Christine White, shared KTL she found her and “had to go to the bedroom where it happened.”

“That wasn’t a pretty sight,” she added. “This is not something that should happen to anyone. You don’t think this will ever happen to you.’

Shehorn suffered multiple lacerations to her neck, arms and abdomen, leaving her in critical condition in the ICU. She also underwent 14 hours of life-saving surgery.

After the attack, her friends launched a GoFundMe page – which will remain open during the case – to help cover living costs and support her during her lengthy recovery.
