Kill Bill & Reservoir Dogs Star Michael Madsen Arrested for Domestic Battery

As a longtime admirer of Michael Madsen’s versatile acting career, it’s deeply disheartening to witness such personal struggles unfold. His roles as Mr. Blonde, Donnie Brasco, and many others have brought immense joy and entertainment to millions over the years. It’s unfortunate that his life off-screen seems to be fraught with turmoil.


A popular actor, Michael Madsen, who has worked extensively with Quentin Tarantino and in films like “Thelma and Louise” and “Donnie Brasco,” was taken into custody over the weekend due to accusations of domestic battery. On Monday, a report from The Wrap stated that Madsen allegedly shoved his wife, Deanna, out of their Malibu residence and locked her out. The Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff’s Station confirmed the arrest, which occurred around 1:15am, with charges of misdemeanor domestic battery being filed. After posting a $20,000 bond, Madsen was released and later returned to his home, according to his representative.

According to Madsen’s representative, there was a dispute between Michael and his spouse, but we fervently wish that they can find a solution beneficial for both parties.

As a former law enforcement officer with over two decades of service, I have seen my fair share of individuals who seem to repeatedly find themselves in trouble with the law. However, the case of Madsen is particularly troubling, given his history of multiple run-ins with the legal system. In 2012, he was arrested for a DUI, and again in 2019, ultimately resulting in a prison sentence of four days. More recently, in February 2022, Madsen was arrested for trespassing, just a month after his son Hudson’s apparent suicide.

In simpler terms, Madsen shared with The Times that he was utterly surprised when his son, who we had spoken to not long ago and had texted ‘I love you dad,’ said he was content. There were no indications of depression, he stated. It’s heartbreaking and bewildering. I’m struggling to comprehend the events and figure out what led to this. He faced common struggles regarding finances, but he desired a family. He seemed optimistic about his future, which makes it even more confounding. I just can’t fathom what transpired.

1957 marked the birth of Madsen, who’s since carved out a distinguished career in the entertainment industry. His journey began with theater performances in Chicago, before he made his mark on cinema, playing “Mr. Blonde” in Quentin Tarantino’s first directorial effort, Reservoir Dogs. He then appeared in several of Tarantino’s films such as Kill Bill: Volume 2, The Hateful Eight, and Once Upon a Time in… Hollywood. Beyond his collaborations with Tarantino, Madsen’s filmography boasts titles like Thelma & Louise, Free Willy, Donnie Brasco, Die Another Day, Sin City, and Scary Movie 4. Additionally, he has lent his voice to video games such as Grand Theft Auto III, Narc, and Dishonored.
