The relationship between Nikki Garcia and her estranged
husband Artem Chigvintsev got more complicated after Garcia
file a restraining order against him this week.
A judge signed off on the request following Nikki’s sworn
declaration to court according to TMZ.COM.
Nikki wrote that her husband tackled her multiple times and
pinned her to the ground when their son was present. She
also said that since he was removed from Dancing with the
Stars, he grew increasingly angry, snapping at her, and
yelling a her.
On the day 911 was called and police showed up to arrest him
for domestic violence, she did admit that she threw their
son’s toddler-size 7 shoes at him and hit his leg, but since
they’re light and small, no damage could have been done.
Nikki also detailed what happened that same day and when
police showed up, their four-year-old son told them that
daddy hurt his hand.
Imposing the restraining order, the judge has prohibited
Artem from contacting or coming within 100 yards of Nikki,
their son, and their home with the only exception being for
visitation or exchange of the child per court-ordered
visits. The judge denied Nikki’s request to travel out of
country with their son pending a full hearing on October 21.
