Artem Chigvintsev Says 'The Truth Has Prevailed' After Dropped Domestic Violence Charge

Artem Chigvintsev feels a lot lighter following the new development in his domestic violence case!

The professional dancer finally got his domestic violence charges dropped by prosecutors, and he is convinced it is a step in the right direction.

Artem Chigvintsev was taken into custody after local authorities responded to a distress call from his residence and discovered injuries on his estranged partner, Nikki Garcia's body.

Chigvintsev spoke on the decision by the prosecutors not to file charges after he was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence a month ago.

The dancer noted that he was "incredibly relieved and grateful" and added that it has been an "extremely difficult time for him," but he remained "thankful that the truth has prevailed."

E! Online reported that the "Dancing With The Stars" alum reiterated his commitment to raising his 4-year-old son, Matteo, and placing him at the center of his focus. He added:

"He is my world, and being his father is the greatest blessing in my life. All along, my main concern has been for him. I am committed to continuing to provide him with the love, support, and care he needs as we move forward."

Chigvintsev also expressed optimism about securing an equal custody arrangement for their son with his estranged wife to help them move on amicably.

He expressed gratitude to his loved ones and legal team for their support during a challenging time in his life. "Your support has been invaluable, and I am thankful to everyone who believed in me and saw the truth for what it was," Chigvintsev noted.

The dad of one concluded his statement by stating that he looks forward to moving past the whole chapter and finally focusing on continuing to be the best father to his son.

Chigvintsev’s hope to co-parent might be shortlived, as The Blast reported that Garcia already demanded full legal and physical custody of Matteo in her divorce filing.

The former WWE star cited irreconcilable differences as her reason for filing for a dissolution of the union. She also listed August 29 as the official date of their separation.

The date also matched the day Chigvintsev was arrested for felony corporal injury to a spouse or cohabitant. Garcia indicated her wish to block the court’s ability to award spousal support to either of them in the divorce petition.

While Chigvintsev may not get his golden wish, Garcia is willing to grant him the right to visit Matteo, according to the details of her filing.

Garcia's body language during Chigvintsev's arrest was loud and clear. She was spotted boarding a private jet with a female shortly after he was taken into custody.

Garcia was then pictured without her wedding ring during an appearance on Netflix's Joey Chestnut vs Kobayashi hotdog-eating contest.

She also reportedly began looking for a divorce attorney a day after his arrest. The former wrestler finally employed the services of Evan Craig Itzkowitz to handle the divorce proceedings.

The couple also stopped living together after the episode. Garcia reportedly stayed at their Napa Valley home with Matteo while the dancer squatted with a friend.

Before his case was dropped, the Napa County Sheriff dispatched it to the Napa County District Attorney's office for a deeper investigation and review.

A source from the D.A.'s office shared that they would arrive at a final conclusion after reviewing the case, and then a public statement would be issued on the next step.

Things to review included witness statements, footage and images that may have been captured at the scene, and any evidence connected to the case to help tie up loose ends.

Artem Chigvintsev's arraignment was initially scheduled for November 4, but that is old news now, as he is as free as a bird!
