Bachelor star Sam Wood denied bail as police allege he choked woman until she ‘thought she would die’

Court hears police attended Wood’s Victorian home over a similar allegation about three years ago, but the woman had not complained then out of ‘fear of retribution’ The court also heard that police in Victoria had attended Wood’s home in relation to a similar incident about three years ago, but that the woman had not wanted to make a complaint at that time out of “fear of retribution”. Wood, a 46-year-old wellness influencer from Melbourne, was denied bail in a Queensland court on Thursday and will be held in custody indefinitely awaiting trial, after police argued his behaviour was “escalating” and that he posed an unacceptable risk.
