Former Model Zahnita Wilson Reveals Domestic Violence, Husband Arrested
PETALING JAYA: The husband of former model and actress Zahnita Wilson has been detained by authorities following her shocking revelation on social media about being a victim of domestic violence.
Kuantan District Police Chief, Assistant Commissioner Wan Mohd Zahari Wan Busu, confirmed the arrest but provided no further details.
“Yes, the suspect was arrested today,” he told Kosmo! Online.
Zahnita, whose full name is Zahnita Dorothy Hussein Wilson, 39, previously uploaded a photo showing a bruise on her left eye, allegedly caused by her husband.
The actress, known for the film Gila-Gila Pengantin Remaja, admitted she has long been a victim of domestic abuse. The latest incident reportedly occurred after Zahnita questioned her husband about the presence of a third party in their marriage.
It is understood that Zahnita is currently in Kuantan, Pahang, awaiting her lawyer from Kuala Lumpur to discuss her next steps.
This is not the first time the couple’s marriage has faced challenges. In 2013, Zahnita filed for divorce at the Shah Alam Syariah Lower Court after their relationship began deteriorating in late 2011. However, their marriage, which started in 2005, was saved at the time.
The couple has four children together.
