Artem Chigvintsev, known for his role on Dancing With The Stars and his marriage to former WWE star Nikki Bella, has recently been in the spotlight due to his arrest on domestic battery charges. Now, an audio clip of the 911 call made by Chigvintsev has surfaced online, shedding more light on the incident.
The incident began early in the morning when Chigvintsev made a 911 call from his home around 8:30 AM, initially reporting a “medical emergency.” However, a second call was made shortly after to cancel the request for emergency services. Despite the retraction, the situation escalated, prompting deputies from the Napa County Sheriff’s Office to arrive at the scene by 10 AM.
Upon arrival, officers observed visible injuries on the alleged victim, leading to Chigvintsev’s arrest on felony charges of causing harm to a spouse or cohabitant. He was subsequently booked into Napa County Jail with bail set at $25,000 and has since been released. Reports indicate that the victim is cooperating with authorities.
A new tweet by TMZ on X (formerly Twitter) has brought the audio clip of the 911 call to public attention. In the clip, the dispatcher is heard explaining the situation to local authorities. According to the dispatcher, Chigvintsev mentioned that Nikki Bella had thrown shoes at him, which may have contributed to the escalation of the incident. The dispatcher also noted that a child was present at the scene and that Chigvintsev and Bella were physically separated at the time of the call. Despite the cancellation of the medical request, law enforcement responded due to the serious nature of the situation.
“Just came in as the RP [reporting party] requesting medical, but now the RP is stating that he got in an argument with his wife and his wife threw shoes at the RP. There is a child on scene. There’s an active 415 [disturbing the peace] in the background responsible. The responsible is going to be a Nicole Garcia. I’m trying to get both parties separated.” The dispatcher later added, “RP is stating no medical is needed now.”
This incident has garnered significant public attention, raising concerns about the couple’s personal lives. In response to the media coverage, Nikki Bella’s representative has requested privacy during this challenging time as the situation continues to develop. It remains to be seen whether both parties will release an official statement regarding the incident.
