A story running over at TMZ, has been circling around the Internet today and claims that Ivan Moody’s (Five Finger Death Punch) wife, Holly Smith, filed for divorce from the vocalist, due to infidelity. Then this supposedly turned into a violent altercation. After being reported on numerous other sites, Five Finger Death Punch’s Zoltan Bathory shot it down, saying Moody doesn’t even have a wife. You check out the TMZ report and Bathory’s statement below.

TMZ report:

“Holly Smith confronted Ivan in a Vegas hotel room and accused him of infidelity after finding texts on his phone from various women.

She says she eventually went to sleep, and woke up with Ivan‘s arms around her neck in a Jiu-Jitsu submission hold. She says he then repeatedly punched her and choked her with a blanket.

Moody was arrested for domestic violence but the charges were dropped.

The rest of the divorce docs paint a similar picture of abuse, with injuries that include a bloody eye and busted blood vessels.

Holly wants financial support, and says Ivan has plenty to give … she says he banks around $66k a month with his heavy metal act.”

UPDATE: Some photos have apparently surfaced showing Moody and Smith together. There is also another TMZ report saying Moody’s sister, Sandra Dykes, has gotten a restraining order against him. You can read that report below:

“In the docs Dykes claims Moody has a history of violence with women that spirals out of control when he drinks and drugs. She says she was forced to take action when Moody started falsely accusing her, their mother, and even his own daughter … of stealing his money.

A judge granted Dykes and her 2 kids restraining orders. She says her mom and niece are filing for their own.”
