A week after Cameron Diaz's denial, it's Criss Angel's turn to let the world know that his soon-to-be ex-wife has got it all wrong.

In a statement released Sunday, Angel said, “It is with great sadness and disappointment that I feel the need to dignify and refute the inaccuracies, blatant lies and misrepresentations that my estranged wife and her attorney made last week in a New York courtroom and continue to make in the press."

According to Angel, those inaccuracies and lies include allegations of adultery, a marriage kept secret, and lack of financial support. He says, "I have always supported [JoAnn Sarantakos'] every expense in the past prior to her filing for divorce in May of 2006 and continue to do so to this day."

As for claims that the couple's marriage was secret, he refutes, "Our marriage was well known to my friends and all of my fans worldwide. She was featured prominently in the first two seasons of my show. She and her family were thanked and credited in every episode and in my recent autobiography."

And despite the fact that he and Cameron Diaz are not currently in a relationship, Angel defends the Shrek actress vehemently: "The fact that they have tried to use Cameron Diaz to accomplish their ends is a sign of their desperation...Cameron and I met in May of this year at the VH1 Rock Honors show, over a year after JoAnn’s initial filing...Cameron is a good friend and an amazing person and to defame her and myself and paint her as the reason for my marriage’s demise is factually inaccurate, ridiculous and just plain wrong."
