In 2019, Tyler Christopher was placed under guardianship following a fall and head injury during an episode of alcohol withdrawal. As reported by People, while Christopher recuperated in the hospital, his sister, Susan Asmo Baker, sought guardianship for him. Given the circumstances at the time, it was barely a surprise that Baker's request was granted.
Sadly, as in many conservatorship stories, things did not go well for the actor. Though the legal arrangement ended in 2021, it was not until 2023 that Christopher opened up about what went down while Baker was his legal guardian. In a court filing, the actor accused his sister of misappropriating his funds, alleging she used roughly $40,000 of his finances to pay off personal debts and buy her son a laptop. "I never thought in a million years that I would be taken advantage of by a family member," he told Bloomberg Law in July 2023.
But while Christopher doubled down on his claims, Baker insisted on her innocence. "If I hadn't been his Guardian he'd be DEAD!" she told the outlet of the actor's claims. Similarly, shortly before the guardianship came to an end in 2021, Baker reportedly shared her disappointment over Christopher's lack of trust in her. "I would have never done you wrong, not before your injury, during or after, and for some reason you think I need your money ... I DO NOT TYLER! Sad that you don't even trust me. That's what hurts the most," she wrote.
