MODERN Family star Sarah Hyland has spoken publicly for the first time about her allegedly abusive ex-boyfriend Matt Prokop.

Appearing on The Meredith Viera Show in the US, Highland quoted from two poems when asked by Viera how she had coped with her experience.

"There are two quotes that I want to say," the 23-year-old told Viera, who was also the victim of domestic abuse in her early twenties.

"One is a Dylan Thomas poem: 'Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light,' which is one of my favourite poems. It just strikes a chord in me."

Hyland also cited a Robert Frost quote: 'The only way out is through' as helping her through her difficult time.

"People have to go through things in order to become the person they are today, and that's that," she said.

Hyland was granted a restraining order against Prokop, which also states that he must stay away from the actor' dog, Barkley Bixby (who appeared with her on the show).

Hyland was initially granted a temporary restraining order against the actor after accusing him of terrorising her verbally and physically during the last four years of their relationship (the ex-couple were together for five years).

Prokop also allegedly pinned her against a car during an argument about her outfit in May before repeatedly calling her a 'c**t' and choking her.

The Emmy Award-winner stated in the court documents: "His grip was so tight that I could not breathe or speak. I was scared and in fear for my life."

Following their split, Hyland claimed that Prokop "relentlessly bombarded me with vile, threatening and emotionally disturbing texts and voicemails including his own suicide threats".

They later starred together in the Disney Channel film Geek Charming in 2011
