Former TOWIE star James Argent has avoided jail in a shocking domestic violence case involving his girlfriend Nicoline Artursson.
The 37-year-old received a six-month suspended prison sentence and a two-year restraining order in Spain.
The sentence followed an incident in a holiday apartment, where Argent admitted to shoving Artursson during a heated argument.
Witnesses reported seeing him throw clothes from a balcony before storming out with a bag.
According to police, the altercation occurred just before midnight, but Argent had left before their arrival.
Artursson’s mother arrived shortly after, finding Nicoline visibly shaken and injured.
A concerned bystander told media that Artursson was crying uncontrollably, calling the situation heartbreaking.
“She said, ‘I’m in total shock… we planned to have a family,’” the witness shared.
Now, medical reports confirm Artursson suffered cuts and bruises to her neck, right forearm, hand, and leg.
She was treated for bruising and abrasions, with healing expected within seven days.
The James Argent domestic violence case concluded with a plea deal on May 5, agreed at the Fuengirola Court.
Spanish authorities confirmed the verdict was final and conditional upon strict guidelines.
As part of his punishment, Argent must complete a ten-week domestic abuse rehabilitation course in Spain.
The course includes hearing testimonies from survivors and learning about gender-based violence.
Despite the controversy, Argent returned to social media this week, smiling in tuxedo photos from a charity event.
He performed with The Arg Band at the Wickers Charity Ball in London, raising over £100,000.
However, critics quickly condemned his cheerful public appearance.
“He’s acting like nothing happened,” one source said. “It’s shameless after what he did.”
Since he had no prior record in Spain, the James Argent domestic violence case resulted in a suspended sentence.
Moving forward, he must avoid contact with Artursson for two years, or risk immediate imprisonment.
The James Argent domestic violence case now serves as another dark chapter in the reality star’s turbulent history.
