perezhilton.com[Warning: Potentially Triggering Content] Dancing with the Stars alum Cheryl Burke is speaking out after her friend Artem Chigvintsev was arrested on felony domestic violence charges.
In Friday’s episode of her podcast Sex, Lies and Spray Tans, the professional ballroom dancer shared her thoughts on the “shocking” allegations made against her former co-star, who was not set to be involved in the upcoming season of the popular ABC dancing competition.
Expressing her initial thoughts as reports were breaking, she shared: Artem was arrested in Napa County, California on a charge of felony corporal injury to a spouse or cohabitant on Thursday morning and released on a $25,000 bond later in the day.
The identity of the victim has not been confirmed as they requested anonymity — but he has been married to wrestling star Nikki Garcia (formerly known as Nikki Bella) for two years, so seems pretty clear. Related: Artem Once Accused Of Threatening To ‘Kill’ Strictly Come Dancing Partner!
