Frankie Muniz Addresses Fight with Girlfriend

Relationships can be tricky, especially when held under the media microscope, and Frankie Muniz cleared up some misconceptions about a recent argument he had with his lady.

The “Malcolm in the Middle” actor recently engaged in an altercation with Elycia Turnbow, though he says it really wasn’t a big deal.

“It was funny to read the stories or hear what was going on because it was so far from the truth. The media takes something and runs with it as far as they can, and it was comedy for us. Things were exaggerated times a million.”

Frankie added, “We’ve been amazing for almost four years now. I mean, all couples have arguments.”

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

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."

Frankie Muniz and Girlfriend Still Together After Gun Incident

For a while, it looked like TV's Malcolm was in the middle of one big mess.

Last week, police investigated a disturbance at the Phoenix home of Frankie Muniz and his publicist girlfriend Elycia Turnbow. When it was all over the actor had handed over a gun to officers.

Muniz’s rep Lauren Tobin tells PEOPLE the duo now "are fine" and "as far as they are concerned, their issues are resolved."

The Malcolm in the Middle star, 25, and Turnbow, are "still very much a couple," Tobin says. "Neither one is 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."

Tobin also clarified reports that Muniz held a gun to his head during the argument with Turnbow.

"He was not suicidal," Tobin says, noting that Muniz’s gun was "voluntarily handed over" to authorities for safekeeping. Neither person was arrested and no charges were made.

Since Malcom ended in 2006, Muniz took a step back from Hollywood and concentrated his race car driving.

He then moved to Phoenix and joined the independent band You Hang Up early last year. Since the Feb. 11 incident, Muniz has resumed performing with the four-person rock group for which he's the drummer.

"He gets along great with the other guys," the band's manager, Todd Erickson says. "They’re friends in addition to being in a band together. They’re all a really good group of people."

Erickson describes the post-TV Muniz as "hard-working and multitalented" with "opportunities in a lot of different directions. I have nothing but good things to say about him."

Frankie Muniz Denies He Was Suicidal During Fight with Girlfriend

A lovers' quarrel turned ugly for former Malcolm in the Middle star Frankie Muniz and his girlfriend.

The actor, 25, allegedly put a handgun to his head "possibly with [the] intent of committing suicide" in a heated domestic fight on Feb. 11, his girlfriend told Phoenix, Ariz., police.

Elycia Turnbow, Muniz's publicist girlfriend, also alleges that the sitcom star "punched her in the back of the head," a police report says.

Muniz's rep denies to TMZ that the actor was suicidal, "A gun played no part in the argument and was voluntarily given to the police for safekeeping," the rep says. "He was not suicidal."

Muniz called police to a Phoenix-area residence Friday around 10 p.m. after a fight over "prior relationships" with Turnbow got out of hand, according to the report.

In his call, Muniz had complained that Turnbow was "throwing things and hitting [him]."

The couple began fighting earlier in the day at around 2 p.m. with "yelling and screaming" but nothing physical. Muniz told police that at one point during the argument, he accidentally fell and hit his head, and fearing a concussion, he called a friend to take him to the hospital.

After he returned and went to sleep, Turnbow allegedly woke him up by "yelling at him and hitting him in the face about prior relationships" and had demanded his laptop computer. The two tussled, and during Muniz's attempt to get his computer back, Turnbow "fell to the ground and started to kick the bedroom door."

Turnbow told one of the officers that Muniz, prior to going to the hospital, "grabbed a gun and held it to his head" in what she thought was a threat of suicide, according to the report. Turnbow claimed she called one of Muniz's band mates because she "worried about his safety."

After Muniz returned from the hospital, Turnbow claimed he punched her and "threw her into a wall while in the downstairs bedroom."

Muniz denied to an officer that he put a gun to his head, saying he only grabbed the gun case. Asked if he punched Turnbow, he replied, "No. I love her too much. She is the woman I want to marry."

The report added that Turnbow "showed signs and symptoms of drinking alcohol."

Police confiscated Muniz's .380-caliber handgun and because neither showed evidence of physical injury nor was there damage to the residence, both were given a warning and neither was arrested.
