Story summary
Reality TV star Sam Wood, a 46-year-old Victorian man, was charged with domestic violence offenses after an incident in Noosa, Queensland, where police were called to a home around 9pm on Saturday. He is accused of assault occasioning bodily harm and strangulation within a domestic setting. Wood's wife Snezana posted on Instagram that they are "working through this as a family" and cooperating with authorities.
Wood, who rose to fame in season three of The Bachelor in 2015, built an online fitness business called 28 by Sam Wood, which he sold for $71 million to genomics group myDNA. He was refused bail and is due to appear at the Maroochydore Magistrates Court.
The alleged incident occurred during a family holiday in Noosa at a luxury apartment complex, with his wife, their three children aged 4-8 years old, and Snezana’s daughter from another relationship present.
