Since his appearance on The Bachelor in 2015, Wood used his television profile to build a successful fitness career, establishing the 28 by Sam Wood online training and nutrition platform.<\/p>\n
The business was sold to myDNA for a reported A$71 million ($88m) in 2022, with Wood remaining its public face after it came under DBG Health\u2019s ownership.<\/p>\n
DBG Health announced Wood had been placed on indefinite leave. <\/p>\n
The company said it had \u201czero tolerance for domestic violence\u201d and confirmed chief operating officer Mark Watkin would lead the business during Wood\u2019s absence.<\/p>\n
Sam Wood used his television profile to build a successful fitness career.<\/p>\n
Meal delivery company Foxes Den, which also worked with Wood, said it was \u201cshocked and deeply saddened\u201d by the allegations and extended its thoughts to those affected by domestic violence. <\/p>\n
The company announced it had parted ways with Wood.<\/p>\n
Wood\u2019s public image has been closely tied to health, family life and wellness initiatives aimed at women.<\/p>\n
Earlier this year, he became the public face of Ollo for Women, a medical weight-loss and telehealth platform aimed at women over 40.<\/p>\n
Several fitness industry figures linked to the brand have publicly distanced themselves. <\/p>\n
Trainer Tania Monk, who worked on programmes associated with 28 by Sam Wood, said she would no longer continue under the brand, citing her long-standing commitment to advocating for women.<\/p>\n
The charges come after a separate legal dispute with the Australian Taxation Office over alleged unpaid tax liabilities exceeding A$7 million ($8.71m). The Herald Sun reported the proceedings were dismissed in September after the parties reached an agreement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Since his appearance on The Bachelor in 2015, Wood used his television profile to build a successful fitness…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":917864,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[9490,64,63,81,96375,17192,21677,23218,2025,48347,336369,16914,134,18137,538,21694,242157,701,578,64935,4031,427,7813,3605,6047],"class_list":["post-917863","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-after","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-australian","tag-bachelor","tag-bail","tag-being","tag-charged","tag-charges","tag-custody","tag-denied","tag-domestic","tag-entertainment","tag-entrepreneur","tag-fitness","tag-former","tag-offences","tag-queensland","tag-remains","tag-sam","tag-star","tag-tv","tag-violence","tag-with","tag-wood"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/917863","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=917863"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/917863\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/917864"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=917863"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=917863"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=917863"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
