Sam Wood's fall from fitness influencer to alleged DV offender
The 46-year-old former Bachelor remains behind bars, charged with strangling his wife during a family holiday.
Sam Wood, a 46-year-old television personality, was charged with assaulting and strangling his wife during a family holiday in Noosa. He was subsequently denied bail and ordered to remain in custody. The alleged incident involved the fitness guru throwing his wife against a wall and attempting to strangle her. The prosecutor mentioned a similar incident in Victoria where the accused choked, threw the victim against a wall and floor, and tried to strangle her.
Sam Wood's wife described him as "volatile and prone to angry outbursts," causing her to feel compelled to walk on eggshells around him. The court heard that Sam Wood had a history of severe depressive disorder and had never faced the criminal justice system before. His lawyer stated that he denies the charges and has a history of dealing with mental health issues.
