“Reservoir Dogs” actor Michael Madsen reportedly filed for divorce from his wife Deanna Madsen on Wednesday, claiming she has been abusive for years.
Madsen also said he believes “her neglect, drinking and alcoholism” drove their son Hudson to take his own life, according to TMZ. Madsen is seeking a domestic violence restraining order against DeAnna for the sake of his protection, according to TMZ.
Madsen cited “irreconcilable differences” in the legal divorce documents and went on to state that he actually separated from his estranged wife in January 2022, according to TMZ. He also reportedly included a statement with the petition, saying their problems go well beyond not seeing eye-to-eye with one another.
He alleges that DeAnna’s toxic behavior contributed to issues that he had been facing himself, describing the situation and relationship as “abusive, co-dependent, and toxic,” according to TMZ.
