Michael Madsen, the acclaimed actor of films like "Kill Bill" and "Donnie Brasco," has filed for divorce from his estranged wife, DeAnna Madsen, accusing her of driving their son to suicide.

Madsen's divorce filing cites irreconcilable differences but includes the explosive allegations against DeAnna. The actor alleges that her actions created an abusive, co-dependent, and toxic relationship that resulted in him being wrongfully arrested for domestic violence. Madsen states in the filing, "The 'irreconcilable differences' reason in the Petition does not adequately describe the divorce filing. I have been separated from Respondent since my son's death by suicide on 1/25/22. I believe Respondent drove him to this by her neglect, drinking and alcoholism."

Madsen, 66, was arrested for misdemeanor spousal battery after an incident at his Malibu home on August 18th. He was released after posting a $20,000 bond. The arrest stemmed from a family disturbance call, where his wife alleged that he had pushed her and locked her out of their residence.

Madsen and DeAnna married in 1996 and also share two other children, Calvin and Luke. Hudson had two half-brothers, Christian and Max, from Madsen's previous relationship with Jeannine Bisignano.
