Home Alone star Devin Ratray has reportedly been ‘hospitalized’ amid his domestic violence trial.

A family member revealed that the actor best known for his role as Kevin McCallister’s evil older brother in the 1990 holiday film starring Macaulay Culkin, was ‘in critical condition.’

The New York native, 47, has since been discharged from the hospital and is ‘back home resting on doctor’s orders.’

The jury selection process was initially set to begin on Monday in an Oklahoma courtroom, but has been pushed back to next month.

In December 2021, he was arrested on domestic violence charges after he allegedly strangled his girlfriend in an Oklahoma hotel room.

He reportedly had gotten angry with his girlfriend while the pair had been drinking at a bar after she didn’t charge two female fans for his autograph.

The fight then continued into the hotel bedroom where he allegedly got violent and tried to strangle her.

After they returned to their hotel room at Hyatt Place Oklahoma City, Ratray allegedly pushed her onto the bed before putting one hand on her throat and the other on her mouth.

‘The victim had trouble breathing while she was being strangled and while the defendant’s hand was over her mouth,’ according to an affidavit.

Ratray also allegedly told her: ‘This is how you die’ as he continued to choke her.

His girlfriend then bit Ratray’s hand as she attempted to scream for help.

He then stopped choking her but allegedly began violently punching her afterward.

Ratray also allegedly punched her against a desk when she had returned to the room to collect her belongings.

The victim was found with multiple injuries including bruising under her left eye, marks under her right eye, marks above the left side of her lip, a bruise on her chest and a sore arm, according to KFOR.

The pair broke up following the violent fight.

At the time, a police source revealed that Ratray ‘turned himself in and was processed through and bonded out,’ according to Fox News.

He has since been released from custody after posting a $25,000 bond and denies the allegations.

Last year, news broke that he was also being investigated by New York authorities over allegations that he raped a woman in New York in 2017.

After hearing about the assault case, Lisa Smith contacted prosecutors about a police report she had filed in 2017 accusing that actor of raping her.

She told CNN that she wanted to know why the case hadn’t been pursued and was informed that authorities thought she wanted to remain anonymous and didn’t want to press charges.

Smith claims that she was friends with the actor for around 15 years before the alleged assault, adding that she met her brother and Ratray along with another friend for a drink in New York directly before the assault.

The group then went to Ratary’s apartment for another drink, where he insisted that Smith have a specific glass.

She says that she became exhausted soon after drinking it, and Ratray encouraged her to stay over and sleep on the couch.

Smith believes that she was drugged by the star, saying: ‘I remember waking up and I couldn’t move.

‘I couldn’t really open my eyes, but I could hear what was happening and I could feel what was happening.

‘I knew that the other two people were gone and I was still on the couch.’
