Josh Brolin Arrested for Spousal Abuse
December 20, 2004

Diane Lane and Josh Brolin are known as one of Hollywood's most beautiful and loving couples, but early Sunday morning, a domestic dispute between the two actors went public when Brolin was arrested on a charge of spousal abuse after an argument at the newlyweds’ Los Angeles home.

Harvey Levin, producer of the TV show “Celebrity Justice,” gave “Extra” inside details. “The fight happened after a wrap party for Diane’s new movie,” Levin told us. “He pushed her when she was downstairs, she then got upset, went upstairs, went to bed. He then followed her upstairs, said, ‘How can you go to bed in the middle of this?’ pushed her out of the bed, and that’s when Diane Lane called the police.”

Brolin was arrested at the couple’s home, handcuffed and taken to the police station where he was fingerprinted and then released.

The 39-year-old actress, who was nominated for an Oscar for her performance in “Unfaithful,” married Brolin, the son of actor James Brolin and stepson of Barbra Streisand, just last August. The two told “Extra” at the time how much they meant to each other. “I'm very happy, I'm getting all blushy,” Diane laughed, while James told us, "I had to go through a few to get this one, but I got lucky."

Today, the couple's spokesperson spoke to “Extra,” telling us that Diane did call the police, but that she was not hurt and, "did not want to press charges and asked them not to arrest him.”

An insider has told us the couple is back at home together and, "are embarrassed the matter went this far."

A spokesperson for the city attorney's office confirmed to us that no charges have been filed.
