Madsen has had a terrible start to 2022.
Her arrest came just a month after her son, U.S. Army Sgt. Hudson Madsen, shot himself to death on the Hawaiian island of Oahu, where he was stationed with the 25th Infantry Division. Hudson was a veteran of the war in Afghanistan.
Hudson’s death came a week after his wife Carlie underwent surgery to remove a tumor from her breast.
“I’m in shock because my son, who I spoke to a few days ago, said he was happy; my last text was ‘I love you dad,'” she told Los Angeles Times.
“I didn’t see any signs of depression. It’s very tragic and sad. I’m just trying to make sense of it all and understand what happened.”
Madsen said her son’s marriage was “doing well” and that he had recently completed his first tour of duty in the U.S. Army.
Madsen’s arrest came just a month after his 26-year-old son Hudson died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound (pictured together in 2011).
Hudson Madsen shot himself a week after his wife Carlie had a tumor removed from her breast. She called him “very patient throughout the process.”
“He had the typical financial problems that people face in life, but he wanted to start a family. He was thinking about his future, so it’s incredible. I can’t understand what happened.”
Madsen has called for a full military investigation into his son’s death. The actor believes that “officers and enlisted men were shaming” Hudson for wanting therapy. He believes this prevented him from seeking help for mental health issues he had been keeping to himself.
In 2019, the actor was fired from a $100,000 role in the film Confessions of a Serial Killer after crashing his Land Rover into a pole and subsequently being arrested for drink driving. He was later sentenced to four days in jail.
In 2012, he was also arrested for drunk driving, but reached a plea agreement that involved attending AA meetings instead of harsher punishment.
However, after Madsen failed to attend court-ordered Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, his probation was revoked.
