Story summary

Sam Wood, a former Bachelor contestant and fitness influencer, is appealing a court decision to refuse him bail after being accused of domestic violence against his wife, Snezana, in Noosa, Queensland. Wood was arrested on October 3 following allegations that he strangled and assaulted her during their holiday there. His legal team initially pushed for bail, citing no history of domestic violence and claiming he would avoid confrontation, but the Supreme Court in Brisbane denied him bail on October 30 due to concerns about his risk of reoffending. Wood’s fitness empire has quietly rebranded amid the controversy, aiming to retain customers despite the charges against its founder. His appeal is now pending before a higher court.
