Former Cheers Star "Cliff" Blames Country Music In Restraining Order

Former "Cheers" actor John Ratzenberger is blaming Country Music for the demise of his relationship with ex-girlfriend Lindsey McGrail. Apparently Ratzenberger is frightened by her affinity for songs with violent undertones. TMZ has reported that in court papers filed by him against McGrail he's claimed "that it is common in many country western songs for women to set the cars of their former boyfriends on fire."

It seems as though he's afraid she's going to exact out the words of songs against him. He also claimed in his filing that she has been making defamatory statements against him and he's been receiving "harassing and intimidating phone calls, emails and text messages." He's requested that she stay at least 100 yards away from him at all times.
