James ‘Arg’ Argent returned to social media days after receiving a suspended sentence for assaulting his girlfriend. The former TOWIE star posted on Instagram, posing in a black suit and bowtie at a charity gala.
In the image, he stood beside a friend while performing at the Wickers Charity Ball. “It was an honour to perform,” he wrote, referencing the event that raised over £100,000. Despite recent legal troubles, he smiled confidently while entertaining the crowd with The Arg Band.
This public appearance came just days after his sentencing in Spain. Authorities charged him following an altercation with Swedish model Nicoline Artursson. James Argent’s assault case stemmed from an incident at their holiday villa in La Cala de Mijas.
Eyewitnesses said they saw him throwing belongings off a balcony. One reported hearing shouting before Argent stormed out with a bag. Nicoline remained behind, visibly shaken.
Sources say a passerby comforted Nicoline on the street after the confrontation. She reportedly cried and expressed disbelief at the sudden violence. “We planned to have a family,” she told the witness, still in shock.
The disturbance happened around 11pm. Soon after, police and Nicoline’s mother arrived. Officers arrested Argent and took him into custody. Later, he faced the Court of Violence Against Women in Fuengirola.
The court gave Argent a six-month suspended sentence and a two-year restraining order. He must not contact or approach Nicoline. Additionally, he may attend a ten-week domestic violence rehabilitation course.
Following the ruling, James Argent’s assault case has drawn widespread attention. Yet, in his statement, Argent insisted he had not relapsed. “I am still three years and four months sober,” he claimed.
Although he expressed devastation, the court outcome remains a stark chapter in James Argent’s assault case. The future of his public image now lies in how he responds to this controversy.
