Hollywood actor Michael Madsen’s domestic violence case, where he was accused of physically harming his wife DeAnna Madsen, 64, has been dismissed due to insufficient evidence.
The case was dropped, bringing an end to the ordeal that began over a week ago.
Madsen’s representative expressed relief, stating, “We are thrilled that Michael Madsen is able to put this behind him and look forward to our continued collaboration with more great things coming from this veteran and respected actor.”
The 66-year-old Kill Bill star was arrested for domestic violence amid claims he got physical with his spouse and allegedly locked her out of their Los Angeles-area home.
He was given a misdemeanor domestic violence charge and spent part of his weekend in jail before posting a $20,000 bond and being released from custody.

Madsen had previously denied the allegations, with his lawyer, Perry Wander, insisting that his client was not guilty of domestic violence.
The incident occurred on a Saturday night, with police called to the scene in a residential community. Madsen’s wife was reportedly safe with a security team after the arrest.
The actor has been married to DeAnna since 1996 and they have three children together – Hudson, Luke, and Calvin. Tragically, son Hudson died by self-inflicted gunshot wound in 2022.

This recent arrest wasn’t Madsen’s first brush with the law. In 2022, he was arrested for trespassing at a luxury house from which he was evicted.
The incident occurred at a $5.3 million Malibu mansion, where Madsen had been living since the previous year. He was arrested after the owner received a call from the rental house’s security company, saying that someone was trying to break into the house.
