Sam Wood, a former Bachelor contestant turned fitness influencer, is appealing for bail in Queensland’s Supreme Court after being denied it on domestic violence charges at the Maroochydore Magistrates Court. The incident involves allegations that Wood threw his wife against a wall, choked her, and hit her head on the floor at a holiday unit near Noosa. His solicitor indicated that Wood will argue for bail in the higher court, maintaining there was no strangulation and potentially invoking self-defense.
