Martial arts star Tito Ortiz claims Jenna Jameson's addiction to Oxycontin led to his arrest on suspicion of domestic violence Monday.
At a press conference Monday, his lawyer Chip Matthews announced that Jameson, 36, "has been fighting a battle with OxyContin addiction for the past year.
"For Tito and her family this has been an uphill battle," he told reporters. "Unfortunately this morning she had a relapse. Tito was trying to help her. She has threatened suicide before. Tito has done everything in his power to protect her privacy and the privacy of their children.
"When you're dealing with people on OxyContin they don't always have the best sense of balance," Matthews continued. "Jenna and Tito have [13-month-old twins sons] together. They planned on spending the rest of their lives together. They want nothing more than to work together on this."
Looking tired, Ortiz told reporters that the support of his friends and family has meant "the world" to him.
"My parents have been through an addiction and I see it in the mirror again," he said. "I am not going to let my family go through that. I speak from my heart, I hold everything dear to my heart that Jenna will be OK." Jameson hasn't commented yet on Ortiz's drug claims.
On Monday, she told TMZ that Ortiz, 35, threw her to the ground at their Huntington Beach, Calif., home, tearing ligaments in her arm.
She said she was going to file a restraining order. Later, she told Radaronline.com that she was "going to work it out for the sake of the kids."
Tell Us What You Think
20I agree with Jes and What. I believe Jenna falsely accused Tito of domestic violence. She was probably scared to death of losing her pills as he was flushing them down the toilet. And she did whatever it took to be able to keep taking her pills. It didn't matter to her what she did to Tito in the process because the oxycontin is the most important thing to her. SHAME on her for falsely accusing him. I saw her on TV as she was packing his stuff in the trunk of a car, yet also saying she wanted to work things out. She's not afraid of him hitting her -- she was weirdly confident (thanks to the oxycontin) and self-assured. She's addicted to pain pills, it'd be nothing for her to injure herself while she's hopped up on oxy and not even flinch. Hopefully, Tito won't let her off the hook and insist she tell the truth that he didn't hit her at all.
IF ALL THE D*CKS THAT WENT IN JENNA WERE OUT HER SHE WOULD LOOK LIKE A PORCUPINE. THE WAY SHE WAS FAMEWHORING IN FRONT OF HER HOUSE WAS SICK WHEN THE MEDIA WAS TALKING TO HER SHE SEEMED LIKE A NAIVE LIL GIRL...DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IS SERIOUS AND SHES MAKING A CIRCUS OUT OF IT...SHE HAS ALOT OF ISSUES AND WOULDNT DOUBT IF ANYTHING HE SAID WAS TRUE....HES SICKENING TOO WITH HIS BIG A$$ BULLDOG HEAD...ONLY PEOPLE WHO MATTER IN THIS STORY ARE THE KIDS, BEST OG LUCK WITH YOUR STD CARRYIG MOM, AND ROID RAGE FATHER
Guilty: Pot calling the kettle black!!! Just a week ago or longer, Jenna J. was putting Kendra(love her, the show, and her family) about the way she was dancing at a 2 Short concert. Now look whose in the media for all the wrong reasons. I found nothing wrong with Kendra's dancing and having fun. In all truth i can't stand Jenna J. and my advice to her would be don't throw stones at someone else house when your own is made of glass.
when people are addicted to drugs they completely lose their minds. i'm sure she went CRAZY when he was trying to get rid of the drugs and started being abusive so he was trying to get her under control and hold her down. i DOUBT he was being abusive. when people are on drugs they will say anything to defend themselves!
@ Frankie, I'm sure his mother is not proud he married a PORN STAR! That made me laugh. I tried but I couldn't conjure up any feelings for this ex porn star. Not to say she deserved it, I really don't know what happened, but still I had no feelings either way. Hope he smartens up and releases the scum of the earth.
I agree with "What". No one of us were there, and media is so quick to blame the male figure. It could have been something as simple Ortiz found them, and was trying to flush them, she tried to intervene him. There are many ways in which this could have happened.
Reply to Dylan, exactly what I was thinking,having an addiction is no excuse for domestic violence.
The original West Coast loser Tito Ortiz, yes by all means make excuses for using physical force against the mother of your children. your mother mst be so proud
Why do these people have children? A drug addict porn star and a mixed martial artist who abuses her are not fit parents. Same thing with Charlie Sheen and his moron wife. People have children for the most selfish reasons.
So basically Tito found her oxy, went to flush it and she fell into the tub while trying to get it back.
Ummm...actually, why is the man always to blame? Were you there? Are you sure that he threw her to the ground. Were there any witnesses to him throwing her to the ground. Now, certainly the police need to make sure she is ok, but I can assure you, women lie. And I am a woman, so please don't assume that I am a guy.
So, in order to help her with her OxyContin addiction, you needed to injure her? Why? So she wouldn't injure HERSELF? I call B.S. on this one. She might have a problem with drugs, she might not. I don't know. But it seems a little far fetched that her addiction lead to domestic violence. Maybe they both need help.
That's sad!
'IF' she has an addiction problem it's still no excuse for domestic violence! Way to blame the victim Tito. Gross.
hey flo it says for the past year, and the twins are just over a year old. IF she even has an addiction its probably because the Dr's gave her the pills when she was healing from having the kids. She may have a past but that doesnt mean that she cant grow up, change and mature.
Yes surely she is haunted by her past. She certainly acted odd on Oprah. As if she didn't know how to really live her life. Probably doesn't outside of porn.
What a hot mess. Raising more f-ed up kids = good job!
Is anyone surprised? I'd be addicted to drugs too if I've had to live with her past -- eeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwww -- imagine the nightmares that s.l.u.t. must endure? To think of everybody she's done . . . . S I C K ! Not mother material -- so frightening. Anybody in her "industry" should be FORCED to have her tubes tied.
If she has been addicted for 2 years then she endangered the babies lives while pregnant and should have been charged as such.
Kind of surprised to hear that but kind of not. I thought she was healthy more so now then she was a while back when all you could see was bones sticking out of her body. But as I said in a earlier article about them...Maybe they should get together with Brooke & Charlie...they seem to have a lot in common!
