Chuck Liddell with his wife Heidi Northcott
Just a few days after his arrest following domestic violence, Chuck Liddell has filed for divorce from his wife Heidi Northcott. The UFC Hall of Famer was arrested by the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department deputies on Monday, and was held on a $20,000 bond. He was released that same day.
Following his release, Chuck Liddell took to Instagram to claim that he was the victim of abuse, blaming it all on his wife Heidi Northcott. Liddell also hinted at separating from his view: “I was the victim of the incident last night at our family home, as details of the case will reveal. The deputies informed me that my wife would be arrested, as I did not respond to her assault while I sustained bruising and lacerations.
He further wrote: I volunteered to go in her place. It has become painfully apparent that this cannot continue, as our private life has now reached a public breaking point.”
