Adam B. Vary Senior Entertainment Writer Actor Ashley Johnson — star of the popular web series “Critical Role” and video game franchise “The Last of Us” — has filed a lawsuit against Brian Foster, her ex-boyfriend and former “Critical Role” castmate, alleging domestic violence, sexual battery, assault, stalking, gender violence, intentional infliction of emotional distress and civil rights violations.
The suit was filed on Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court, with seven female plaintiffs — six named, including Johnson and her sister, Haylie Langseth, and one Jane Doe — alleging misconduct by Foster over “the last decade” that was “fueled by chronic abuse of drugs and alcohol.” In the suit, Johnson alleges that her relationship with Foster began in October 2012 and he moved into her home soon after.
By 2015, she alleges that, “on a nearly daily basis,” he would go into “a violent fit,” which included “breaking glass, punching through glass doors, breaking a gate, slamming doors, and getting in Johnson’s face screaming obscenities at her such as ‘stupid bitch,’ ‘fucking stupid,’ ‘fucking useless,’ ‘useless bitch,’ ‘fucking bitch,’ ‘fucking cunt,’ and more.” She alleges that Foster’s behavior escalated in 2019 due to her work to support them financially, and that his drinking increased after he was fired from Critical Role in 2021.
After they broke up in March 2023, Johnson alleges that Foster posted a photo to Instagram of the two dogs they shared with the location tag “Robert Blake Garden’s.” (Blake was acquitted for his wife’s murder, and later held liable for her death in civil court.) Johnson interpreted the tag as a threat.
