Wood, 46, was charged after police received reports of alleged domestic violence at a Noosa property on Saturday night.<\/p>\n
He is expected to face Maroochydore Magistrates Court and apply for bail on Thursday.<\/p>\n
Wood was charged on Sunday with the domestic violence offence of assault occasioning bodily harm and strangulation in a domestic setting.<\/p>\n
The next day he was stood down indefinitely by the online fitness empire he fronts.<\/p>\n
Wood’s lawyer Matthew Cuskelly said his client would defend the charges after the matter briefly appeared in Maroochydore Magistrates Court on Monday.<\/p>\n
“He’s simply worried about his family. A bail application will be heard on Thursday,” Cuskelly told AAP.<\/p>\n
“The charges will be defended.” <\/p>\n
Wood did not appear in court during Monday’s brief mention.<\/p>\n
A Wood family statement was posted on social media on Monday addressing the charges.<\/p>\n
It was shared with Wood’s 253,000 Instagram followers, saying the family was “working through this”.<\/p>\n
“This is a difficult time for all of us,” the statement read.<\/p>\n
“We are working through this as a family and are thoroughly co-operating with the authorities.”<\/p>\n
His wife, Snezana – who he met on The Bachelor – also shared the statement on social media.<\/p>\n
Wood earned a national profile as a star of The Bachelor’s third season in 2015, launching a successful home fitness business 28 By Sam Wood.<\/p>\n
He reportedly sold it in 2022 for more than $70 million but remained the face of the online platform.<\/p>\n
The wellness businesses behind the platform on Monday said Wood had been stood down indefinitely.<\/p>\n

“DBG Health, the parent company of 28 by Sam Wood, has zero tolerance for domestic violence,” a DBG Health spokesperson said.<\/p>\n
“While the matter is under investigation and before the court, Sam Wood is on indefinite leave from his duties.<\/p>\n
“Our thoughts are with the family and anyone in the community affected by domestic violence.”<\/p>\n
Mark Watkins, 28 Group’s chief operating officer, would lead the business in Wood’s absence, it said.<\/p>\n
“We have all been shocked and saddened by the matters involving Sam Wood,” Mr Watkins said in a separate statement.<\/p>\n
