Justin Roiland’s Girlfriend: A Look into His Controversial Love Life
Justin Roiland's ex-girlfriend accused him of domestic violence, but the case was later dismissed. Following the incident, the actor has kept his love life private, and whether he's seeing anyone is a question that remains unanswered.
Justin Roiland, co-creator and star of the Emmy-award-winning animated sitcom "Rick and Morty," is entirely private about his romantic relationships. Unlike many celebrities who are hounded by paparazzi and whose privacy is often invaded, Roiland has been discreet about his dating life.
However, his ex-girlfriend once accused him of domestic violence, exposing his personal life to the public. The accusation took a toll on the actor's reputation, damaging his career. He was eventually dropped from "Rick and Morty."

Who Is Justin Roiland's Girlfriend?
The voice actor had only one known ex-girlfriend, referred to only as Jane Doe. However, their relationship made headlines in 2020 when she accused Roiland of domestic violence. The actor, who pleaded not guilty, was charged with one felony count of domestic battery with corporal injury and one felony count of false imprisonment by menace, violence, fraud, and deceit.
In March 2023, the charges were dropped after the authorities found insufficient evidence. Following his victory, the 43-year-old voice actor shared a statement on Twitter. He wrote:
"I have always known that these claims were false – and I never had any doubt that this day would come."

He further expressed disappointment in individuals who quickly judged without getting their facts right. The actor concluded by emphasizing his satisfaction with the resolution of the case. He expressed his dedication to his creative endeavors and the restoration of his tarnished reputation as his primary focus.
Two months before the case was dismissed, the "Rick and Morty" star, who played alongside Spencer Grammer and Sarah Chalke, was removed from "Rick and Morty." Adult Swim, the show's distributor, announced on Twitter that they had cut ties with the actor.
