Nikki Garcia claimed estranged husband Artem Chigvintsev grew 'angry' after not being asked back on 'Dancing With the Stars'
Nikki Garcia shared new details about her and estranged husband Artem Chigvintsev’s domestic violence incident in a restraining order filing.
The morning of their August 29 domestic violence incident, Chigvintsev allegedly snapped at Garcia for not toasting Matteo’s English muffin, accusing her of making him a “picky eater.” Garcia responded by throwing one of Matteo’s shoes at her partner. A judge reportedly ruled that Chigvintsev is prohibited from being within 100 yards of Garcia and their son and their former shared home, with the exception of court-ordered visits. The judge also ruled that Garcia cannot leave the country with Matteo until a full hearing is held on October 21.Us can confirm that Chigvintsev filed a restraining order of his own against Garcia on Thursday, October 3, in the Superior Court of Napa.
Chigvintsev filed a response on September 13, asking for joint legal and physical custody of Matteo, requesting spousal support and asking Garcia to pay his attorney fees and costs. Napa County District Attorney Allison Haley shared in a September 24 statement that Chigvintsev would not be charged with domestic violence after a “thorough review” of the case was completed.
Chigvintsev’s attorney Ilona Antonyan claimed to Us in a September 25 statement that the dancer was not the “primary aggressor” in the August 29 incident, adding, “I believe that to be true even if the burden of proof would be the preponderance of evidence, which is the standard of proof in family court. He was protecting himself and Matteo.”
