Uriah Shelton, who is best known for his characters in "13 Reasons Why" and "Girl Meets World," is now facing a restraining order after he allegedly kicked a female friend in her stomach. According to a TMZ report, the two had an argument and the actor responded with a kick to her midsection.
The woman said she tried to stop Uriah Shelton from getting into his truck when he kicked her in the gut and that caused "inflamed intestines and bruising to muscles." On top of that, the actor and singer reportedly threatened her and reminded her about his firearms.

He said that this tends to make a person realize the need to use his or her actions and words for the right reason.
He also discouraged manipulation, abuse, hurting other people, "and if you do accidentally hurt someone, make things right with them. It may be hard, but it's the right thing to do," he said.
When asked if he will be back for the second season of "13 Reasons Why" Uriah Shelton said he was still unsure of his character's fate in the Netflix series.
