Paramedics called to ‘DWTS’ pro Artem Chigvintsev’s home for ‘medical emergency’ before domestic violence arrest

Chigvintsev was booked under California Penal Code Section 273.5(a) PC, which “makes it illegal to injure a spouse, cohabitant or fellow parent in an act of domestic violence. This offense is also referred to as domestic abuse, domestic violence, or corporal injury to a spouse.”

The “DWTS” regular will not be returning for the show’s upcoming Season 33. “There were no plans for Artem to be a part of Season 33,” a source said. Chigvintsev joined “DWTS” in 2019 and appeared on every season except for seasons 21 and 28.

Chigvintsev is married to TV personality and retired WWE diva Nikki Bella, professionally known as Nikki Garcia.

The pair had just celebrated their second wedding anniversary on Monday, August 26.

In a video Bella posted on her Instagram showing footage from their 2022 nuptial preparations and celebrations , Bella quoted the lyrics to the song “Fools Rush In” in her caption.

She added, “This song is our love story. I’ll never forget where I was when I asked Jesus about Artem. Having a conversation with He & God. How my feelings felt too soon. It all felt too fast. And then this song came on. And that’s when I knew that I was falling in love with him and that it was all meant to be.”

News of Chigvintsev’s arrest comes just one month after past allegations of verbal abuse made against the pro resurfaced.

English TV presenter Fern Britton, who competed on the 2012 season of “Strictly Come Dancing,” the British version of “DWTS” that kicked off the global franchise, spoke out about her experience working with Chigvintsev in 2015.

“He was like, ‘Shut your face. Go home before I kill you,'” she recalled Chigvintsev allegedly telling her while speaking with the Times.

“I would say, ‘Oh please just kill me, it would be easier.’ Or what was his other one? ‘If you go for a cup of tea now, I will blow off like an atomic bomb,'” she recalled. “I thought, ‘Well, I won’t correct him on that one.'”

Chigvintsev contended with Britton’s version of events. “I believe I treated Fern with respect and genuine care and these claims about me are the opposite of everything I believe in and the person I am,” he said in an interview with The Daily Express at the time.

The Post has reached out to reps for Chigvintsev and Bella.
