"He’s definitely not guilty of domestic violence" Michael Madsen’s representatives have responded after the Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill actor was arrested on charges of domestic battery . The actor was reportedly taken into custody following “a disagreement” with his wife, DeAnna Madsen, on Saturday morning (August 17). The pair had separated following the death of their son, Hudson, in 2022.
The BBC reported that authorities were informed of the “family disturbance”, with the local department claiming a woman alleged “her husband pushed her and locked her out of their residence”. Now, however, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter , Madsen’s attorney Perry Wander has claimed that DeAnna “broke into” Madsen’s home in Malibu, causing the start of the disturbance that led to The Hateful Eight star’s arrest. “Michael has shown immense compassion and restraint during this period towards his estranged wife,” Madsen’s attorney continued.
“He’s definitely not guilty of domestic violence.” In a statement to Variety , an additional representative for Madsen said: “It was a disagreement between Michael and his wife, which we hope resolves positively for them both.” Madsen was released after posting a $20,000 (£15,400) bond.
