Nikki Garcia (Bella) Secures Restraining Order Against Artem Chigvintsev, Alleges Acts of Violence
Nikki Garcia (AKA Bella) filed a restraining order against estranged husband Artem Chigvintsev Monday, and a judge signed off, after Nikki submitted a sworn declaration to the court saying in detail how Artem allegedly brutalized her.
In her petition, Nikki says Artem “tackled me multiple times and pinned me to the ground while our child was present.”
She says since Artem was cut from “Dancing with the Stars,” he grew “increasingly angry, snapping at me, and yelling.” She said they had discussions about his need to control his anger, adding on the morning of the incident, Artem went off on Nikki over how their 4-year-old son’s English muffin should be toasted, screaming that she made their son a “picky eater.”
