**Napa Valley, CA** – Dancing with the Stars professional dancer Artem Chigvintsev and former Total Bellas star Nikki Bella have been granted restraining orders against each other, following an alleged domestic incident on August 29.
According to reports, the estranged couple filed for the orders within days of the incident. Bella filed on September 30, alleging that Chigvintsev became increasingly angry after being eliminated from Dancing With the Stars. She claims that during an argument in front of their 4-year-old son Matteo, he tackled her to the ground and held her in a way that made her feel like she was suffocating.
Chigvintsev filed for his restraining order on October 3, claiming that Bella “completely lost it” and escalated from verbal abuse to physical assault. He states that there was a struggle, resulting in both of them falling to the ground. Chigvintsev called 911, but was subsequently arrested on charges of corporal injury to a spouse. However, the Napa County District Attorney later decided not to file criminal charges against him.
Bella filed for divorce on September 11, ending their two-year marriage.
This incident highlights the complexities of domestic violence and the importance of seeking help. The National Domestic Violence Hotline can be reached at 1-800-799-7233 for support and resources.
