Businesses, influencers and colleagues are severing ties with former reality TV contestant and businessman Sam Wood after he is charged with domestic violence offences. Multiple outlets report that partnerships and professional relationships are being ended in response to the charges.

The reports say the reaction is coming from brands and people who have worked with Wood, including fitness and influencer networks. ABC Australia and other outlets frame the decision as a separation occurring after the criminal charges become public, rather than as an outcome of any conviction. The coverage focuses on the immediate business response, with little detail provided across outlets beyond the fact of the domestic violence allegations.

Across the different sources, the core point is consistent: Wood’s public profile is affected by the charges, and several businesses and associates discontinue connections. The outlets differ mainly in emphasis and phrasing, with some referring to his fitness influencer work and others to his reality TV background, but they describe the same general severing of ties following the domestic violence charge.
