Artem Chigvintsev granted restraining order against Nikki Garcia

The conflict between former WWE star Nikki Garcia (Bella) and estranged husband Artem Chigvintsev continues to escalate.

A day after news broke that Bella gained a restraining order against Chigvintsev earlier in the week, the former “Dancing With The Stars” dancer gained a restraining order against her as well, filed Thursday in Napa Valley, California.

The dueling orders come after an alleged domestic violence incident between the couple on August 29th where Chigvintesv was arrested with the charges eventually dropped by the district attorney on September 24th due to a lack of evidence.

Garcia filed for divorce on September 11th. The couple share a four-year-old son and will be due in court on October 21st.

Chigvintesv’s statement was contract to Garcia’s that painted him as the aggressor. His statement included an alleged comment by Garcia that his 911 call that day ruined her career. While she said he blamed her for making their son into a picky eater, he claims she was questioning how he was packing their son’s lunchbox and not being an equal partner in parental responsibilities. He claims he tried to de-escalate the situation, but his “calm responses” drove Garcia to “completely” lose it and start screaming at him.

He denies tackling her, but said there was a mutual struggle in which both parents ended up on the ground. He shared pictures with his statement showing various cuts and marks.
