Michael Madsen alleges estranged wife DeAnna was abusive in divorce filing... claiming she drove their son to his suicide

As a long-time fan of Michael Madsen, it’s heartbreaking to witness his personal struggles unfold in such a public manner. Having followed his career since Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill, I’ve always admired his acting prowess and resilience. However, the recent events surrounding his life have left me feeling a mix of emotions – sadness, frustration, and a tinge of hope.


Actor Michael Madsen is seeking a divorce from his long-time spouse DeAnna, alleging that he has endured years of abusive behavior at her hands.

In 1996, a 65-year-old actor known for his role in Reservoir Dogs got married to DeAnna, who is also 64 years old. Together they have three children: Kalvin (27), Luke (18), and Hudson, unfortunately, took his own life at the age of 26 back in January 2022 while serving in the U.S. Army in Hawaii.

On a Wednesday, Madsen submitted the divorce papers, stating irreconcilable differences and mentioning that they had already been apart since January 2022.

In his petition, he argued that DeAnna’s alleged neglect, heavy consumption of alcohol, and alcoholism might have played a role in Hudson tragically ending his own life.

In addition to his role in “Kill Bill,” the actor claimed that he had endured a challenging relationship with DeAnna, characterized by elements of abuse, codependency, and toxicity. This situation led to his recent arrest for domestic violence.

In addition, Madsen is asking for a protective order related to domestic violence from his separated spouse within the petition.

The actor was taken into custody at his Malibu, California residence following accusations that he forcefully pushed his spouse and barred her from entering their home.

He was arrested on a misdemeanor domestic violence charge but was released on $20,000 bond.

His attorney Perry Wander insisted that his client was ‘not guilty of domestic violence.’ 

Additionally, he claimed that DeAnna had entered Madsen’s residence unlawfully on Sunday, which is when the supposed event took place.

‘He confronted her and asked her to leave,’ Wander said, claiming that this ‘has been an ongoing problem.’

Wander observed that Michael displayed remarkable patience and kindness, especially toward his separated spouse, during this time. It seems clear to him that Michael is not at fault for any instances of domestic abuse.

In reaction, DeAnna countered with a statement suggesting that her separated partner might be dealing with some private challenges.

She stated, “We’ve done everything we could to help him, and now we kindly ask for privacy.

A mere few weeks after, the Los Angeles District Attorney dismissed the charges against Madsen as there wasn’t enough proof to support them.

His representative expressed their delight that Michael Madsen can move past this issue, and they eagerly anticipate further collaborations with this seasoned and esteemed actor, who promises even more remarkable work in the future.

Madsen is particularly recognized for his partnerships with Quentin Tarantino, notably on films like Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill.
