Michael Madsen filed for divorce on Wednesday, accusing his ex-wife of driving their son to suicide.
Madsen, 66, cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split, but added a written statement to his court document containing explosive allegations against DeAnna Madsen.
“The ‘irreconcilable differences’ ground in the petition does not adequately describe the divorce case,” her statement said in the petition, obtained by Fox News Digital. “I have been separated from the respondent since my son committed suicide on January 25, 2022. I believe the respondent caused him to do so through her neglect, drinking, and alcoholism.”

Once the bars of the cell close on you, that is the final curtain on any marriage or relationship, and mine was no exception.”
“I have been separated from the defendant since the death of my son by suicide on 01/25/22.”
