Dancing With the Stars' Artem Chigvintsev Arrested

Artem Chigvintsev, a professional dancer known from 'Dancing With the Stars,' was arrested on August 29 in Napa County, California, on felony domestic violence charges. The 42-year-old dancer, who is married to former WWE star Nikki Garcia, was booked and later released on a $25,000 bail. Following the arrest, it was confirmed that he will not be participating in the upcoming season 33 of the dance competition, where he has previously achieved notable success. Reports indicate that injuries were involved in the incident, and the victim has requested confidentiality. This incident has rekindled past allegations from Fern Britton, a former dance partner, who claimed Chigvintsev displayed aggressive behavior during their time together on 'Strictly Come Dancing'. Garcia had recently celebrated their anniversary on social media, adding complexity to the unfolding situation.
