Professional dancer Artem Chigvintsev, a contestant on Dancing With the Stars, has spoken out about his recent domestic violence arrest. In a statement released on Instagram, Chigvintsev denied the allegations, stating that ‘the truth has prevailed.’ The incident occurred on October 30, 2020, when police were called to his home in Encino, California, following a report of a disturbance. Chigvintsev’s girlfriend, former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Paulina Slagter, accused him of pushing her during an argument. Chigvintsev was arrested and charged with misdemeanor battery. However, the charges were later dropped due to insufficient evidence. In his statement, Chigvintsev expressed his relief that the truth has come to light and thanked his fans for their support.
