Artem Chigvintsev Claims Nikki Garcia (Bella) Made Loss $100K In Income …. After Domestic Violence Arrest
Artem Chigvintsev says his bank account took a huge hit — losing $100,000 in income — after he was arrested for domestic violence against his estranged wife Nikki Garcia (Bella).
According to new court docs, obtained by TMZ, Artem says he was still a working dancer despite Nikki’s claims to the contrary after he lost his gig on “Dancing With The Stars.” Artem says he regularly picked up dance jobs on Saturdays and Sundays, and each project would last 20 weekends.
But, after his bust, Artem says his mugshot spread across the media based on Nikki’s false allegations, and his job opportunities dried up, leading to his $100,000 erosion of income.
Artem added, “I also lost the social media promotion revenue, which [Nikki] continues to benefit from as she was more worried about her career when she lied to the police, than mine.”
As we reported … Artem was-arrested in late August for felony domestic violence after he got into an ugly fight with Nikki as their 4-year-old son, Matteo, was present in their Napa, California, home.
The Napa County District Attorney’s Office investigated, but declined to criminally charge Artem because they felt the case could not be proved beyond a reasonable doubt.
Meanwhile, Nikki filed for divorce from Artem, and now the two are duking it out in court over their assets and custody of their child.
Artem’s attorney, Ilona Antonyanfiled her latest legal docs in response to Nikki’s accusations in her domestic violence restraining order.
