It became apparent that actor Edward Furlong didn’t seem to understand what it meant to have no contact with the girlfriend he had a habit of beating up on, so the L.A. Superior Court decided to help him understand — by locking his messy self up for six months.

The Terminator 2 star was officially sent away on Monday for two reasons:

1. acting out his inner Chris Brown on girlfriend, Monica Keena (also an actress) – the same girlfriend he was arrested for attacking twice.

2. violating the court order that told him to stay away from Monica.

Furlong was placed on 3 years probation back in 2010 for violating a civil protective order obtained by his estranged wife Rachael Kneeland. Furlong was required to obey all laws during the course of his probation …

… which clearly, he did not.

Clearly. Well, he’ll have a lot of time to think about it now — and he definitely won’t be able to see his girlfriend for quite some time.

Boo-hoo.
