Fans of actor Devin Ratray are very worried. Although the American performer had a moment of glory in the industry and many experts predicted a promising future for him in cinema, the last few years have been especially hard and complicated for him.
The 47-year-old artist, known especially for his role as Buzz McAllister in Home Alone, is immersed in a legal case in which he is accused of a crime of domestic violence (among other things). However, the trial against the actor has had to be postponed because he was "in critical condition" in the hospital, as his lawyers explained.
A person close to Ratray's family has informed the American media TMZ that the situation has improved and that the doctors at the New York hospital have already discharged the artist, so he is currently at his residence. However, the doctors have ordered Ratray to rest and rest completely.
At the moment, the real causes that led Devin to the hospital are unknown, as well as the date on which he suffered the episode that endangered his life. As published by the aforementioned United States media, thanks to court records we can know that the actor was out of state when the medical emergency was reported.
As we have already explained, the trial that Devin Ratray is facing has had to be postponed due to the medical inconvenience. According to TMZ, the legal process will resume over the next month.
Devin Ratray's legal 'nightmare' began in 2021, at which time his ex-girlfriend accused him in court of having beaten her while drunk. The woman explained to the Police that the actor pushed her violently, punched her in the face and strangled her until she suffered different wounds in the area of her throat and mouth.
Devin was arrested and booked on felony domestic assault and battery by strangulation, as well as misdemeanor domestic assault. The actor did not spend much time behind bars, since he was released on bail after paying the $25,000 they were asking for. In his first appearance before the Judge (in 2022), Devin appeared confident, defended himself and pleaded ''not guilty'' to the crime.
