Report of domestic violence
Ratray, who played Buzz McCallisterthe older brother of Kevin (Macaulay Culkin) in the 90s classic, was reported by his partner for Domestic violence.
In 2021, his ex-wife said he punched her in the face, put his hand over her mouth and tried to strangle her. They were in a hotel room and he was drunk.

“The victim had difficulty breathing as she was strangled, while the defendant’s hand covered her mouth.” In turn, it is known that as he attempted to strangle her, Devin allegedly stated: “This is how you die!“, the authorities reported at the time.
