His successful home fitness business 28 By Sam Wood has since cut ties with its namesake and, on Thursday, rebranded to evvr, while his family has reportedly returned to Melbourne.<\/p>\n
Wood has been accused of throwing his wife into a wall, choking her and banging her head on the floor at a holiday unit at Noosa, north of Brisbane.<\/p>\n
He will take his case to the Brisbane Supreme Court on Friday morning.<\/p>\n
Wood lost a bid for a non-publication order last Friday that would have blocked media from seeing court files relating to his proceedings.<\/p>\n
Wood’s stepdaughter Eve Markoski-Wood, 21, called police on October 3, alleging he had harmed her mother, fellow Bachelor star Snezana Wood, at a unit on Noosa’s Hastings Street tourist precinct.<\/p>\n
In an earlier bail application at Maroochydore Magistrates Court on October 8, police prosecutor Jeanette Grigoris submitted photos of injuries Ms Wood allegedly sustained.<\/p>\n
The alleged victim had given strong evidence of claims she was choked to “cessation of breath” before her head was banged on the floor, Sergeant Grigoris said.<\/p>\n
“She thought she was going to die … she is in fear of retribution,” she said.<\/p>\n
Snezana Wood had allegedly been seriously assaulted by her husband three or four years ago in Victoria but he was not charged, the court heard.<\/p>\n
“She refers to that matter as being similar in nature and involved choking and trying to strangle her,” Sgt Grigoris said.<\/p>\n
Wood, 46, posed a risk of not attending court if released, she submitted.<\/p>\n

“He has no connections to Queensland,” Sgt Grigoris said.<\/p>\n
“He does have the resources to essentially flee the jurisdiction.”<\/p>\n
Wood’s lawyer Mathew Cuskelly told the court his client had no criminal record and his version of events indicated he might be entitled to a self-defence argument, saying there had been “hostilities”.<\/p>\n
“He pushed her away. There is denial of any strangulation,” he said.<\/p>\n
But Acting Magistrate Janelle Boegheim refused bail, describing the prosecution case as relatively strong and saying consideration for bail could be revisited if the case strength changes.<\/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 platform was rebranded on Thursday as evvr, removing references to Wood.<\/p>\n
