Key Points:

  • Gleb Savchenko accuses his ex-wife Elena Samodanova of forcing their 15-year-old daughter Olivia to take weight loss pills without proper medical oversight or his consent, also alleging emotional abuse including disparaging remarks and punitive actions.
  • Samodanova counters that Savchenko was in contempt of court for enrolling Olivia in a California high school without her permission, leading a judge to grant her final say on school and medical decisions and maintain the children's residence in Hong Kong.
  • The court confirmed Savchenko's custodial time during school breaks and additional visitation rights if he travels to China, while ordering both parents to refrain from speaking negatively about each other to the children.
  • The couple, who divorced in 2021 after separating in 2020, have ongoing custody disputes, including past allegations by Savchenko of Samodanova abducting their children and moving them to China, which she denies, asserting Olivia is thriving there.
  • Since their split, Savchenko has dated others and is no longer part of the current "Dancing With the Stars" season, while the custody battle continues amid conflicting claims about the children's welfare and living arrangements.
