Former WWE Superstar Nikki Garcia has been a name that has constantly been on the news lately. She had filed for divorce against Artem Chingvintsev following a domestic violence arrest. Now, she has filed a restraining order against Chingvintsev.
The court ruled that Chingvintsev would not be facing any criminal charges for the domestic violence case. Following the judgment, Nikki Garcia has filed a petition for a restraining order against Chingvintsev.
Garcia petitioned that Chingvintsev, “Tackled me multiple times and pinned me to the ground while our child was present.” She also mentioned that he became “increasingly angry” and “snapped” at her after being cut from Dancing With The Stars.
Nikki Garcia’s representatives told TMZ why the former WWE Superstar chose to file for a restraining order.
“Due to the incident that led to Artem’s arrest on August 29, 2024, Nikki has decided to file for a temporary Domestic Violence Restraining Order to protect herself and her son. Although Nikki requested that the Napa District Attorney not file charges against Artem as she did not want him to go to jail, he must still be held accountable for his actions, and Nikki and her son must be protected. Nikki’s number one priority has always been the well-being of her son. She is thankful for all of the love and support she has received and continues to ask for privacy for her and her family during this difficult time,” Nikki Garcia’s representatives said.
