Michael Madsen, after facing recent legal issues, is ending his 28-year marriage with DeAnna Madsen.

Madsen, who was arrested for domestic violence last month, filed for divorce on Wednesday in Los Angeles County Superior Court, as reported by YSL News.

In his divorce application, Madsen alleges that DeAnna has been abusive toward him and claims she played a role in their son’s death. He also states that his arrest in August was related to an alleged trespassing incident involving DeAnna.

According to Madsen’s attorney, Perry C. Wander, “Michael is eager to spend time with his children and continue his career in acting and poetry, now that he is free from a harmful and abusive marriage.”

A representative for DeAnna was unavailable for comment when YSL News reached out.

As part of the divorce process, Madsen is asking the court to deny any spousal support for DeAnna and revoke her rights to his pension. An agreement on the division of their shared assets will be decided later.

Madsen has also requested a restraining order against DeAnna to “ensure his safety and well-being” during their separation.

This marks Madsen’s third marriage; he was previously married to Georganne LaPiere and Jeannine Bisignano. With DeAnna, he has three sons: Calvin, Luke, and the late Hudson. He shares two additional children, Christian and Max, with Bisignano.

Michael Madsen accuses wife of break-in leading to domestic violence charge

In the restraining order, Madsen recounts several incidents of physical and verbal aggression from DeAnna, including an alleged break-in on August 17 that resulted in his domestic violence arrest.

The court documents describe how DeAnna allegedly entered Madsen’s home and “invaded his personal space” by coming into his bedroom. Authorities from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department reportedly had to be called for help.

Following the incident, Madsen was arrested and booked at the Malibu/Lost Hills station, facing a misdemeanor charge of domestic battery. He was later released on a $20,000 bond.

The “Kill Bill” actor asserts that the charge was eventually dropped. YSL News has contacted the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office for more information.

“I am a victim in an abusive, dependent, and toxic relationship that ended with (DeAnna) breaking into my home and causing my wrongful arrest for (domestic violence),” Madsen declared in his divorce filing. “When the cell doors shut behind you, it’s the final act for any marriage or relationship, and mine was no different.”

In an earlier statement to The Hollywood Reporter on August 22, DeAnna commented, “Michael is dealing with his own personal challenges. Our children and I have been supportive as much as we can. We request privacy during this time.”

Madsen’s restraining order also includes their 18-year-old son Luke, as he is “deeply worried about both his and his son’s safety, especially after the tragic loss of his other son to suicide.”

In his court statement, Madsen blames DeAnna for Hudson’s death, attributing it to “her neglect, drinking, and alcoholism.”

If approved, the restraining order would prevent DeAnna from contacting Madsen and Luke, require her to keep at least 300 feet away from Madsen’s residence, vehicle, and workplace, and mandate that she complete a 52-week domestic violence intervention program.

A court hearing regarding Madsen’s case is set for October 9.
