Artem Chigvintsev: I lost $100,000 income after ‘false’ domestic violence allegations

After more than a dozen seasons of “Dancing With the Stars” glory, Artem Chigvintsev continued to hustle for professional dancing gigs, as he and his estranged wife Nicki Garcia tried to build a happy life for themselves and their 4-year-old son in Napa Valley.

But now those dance gigs have disappeared, after Chigvintsev said he was falsely accused of domestic violence in an Aug. 29 incident in Yountville, which led to the collapse of his two-year marriage to the former WWE wrestler.
