VIDEO: Tearful Tito Ortiz Denies Domestic Violence Accusations, Claims Jenna Jameson Is Hooked On Pills
Posted on Apr 27, 2010 @ 07:50AM
Fighting back tears, mixed martial arts powerhouse Tito Ortiz said his girlfriend Jenna Jameson's Oxycontin habit triggered the ugly incident which ended up with him being arrested Monday at their Huntington Beach, California home on suspicion of domestic violence.
As RadarOnline.com reported previously, Jameson called police Monday morning complaining about being "thrown down,” leading to Ortiz being taken into custody. The MMA star posted $50,000 bail to get out of jail Monday afternoon.

Ortiz and his attorney Chip Matthews then hosted an impromptu press conference outside of an Italian restaurant in North Hollywood to address the fiasco.

"Jenna Jameson has been fighting an ugly battle with an addiction to Oxycontin for well over a year, and this morning, she had a relapse," Matthews said. "We're here because Tito was trying to help her. Tito Ortiz never laid a hand on Jenna."
Matthews said Ortiz found drugs in the home, which started the fight; he noted that Jameson has called 911 multiple times threatening suicide over the course of the couple's four-year relationship, but that Ortiz has stuck it out in hopes the tough times would pass.
"My parents have gone through an addiction, and I'm seeing a mirror of that," Ortiz, 35, said. "I hold everything dear to my heart that Jenna will be OK."

Jameson, 36, had more to say about the incident on her Twitter account early Tuesday.
"I am officially crushed.... I have so much I could say, but I refuse to ruin tito......I will never be the same, I lost the love of my life," she Tweeted. "Surprised so many of you believe titos allegations....[im going to focus on happiness]. Goodbye xxxxxx."

Yes, file the motion for a drug test. Do not leave her alone with the babies until you do this.

I agree! This woman is not mother material at ALL. Tito needs to protect his kids. They are just babies...oh so sad and scary. They deserve better.

I believe him. She's been on drugs so many times including Oxy. When she lived in Vegas, she was a heroin, cocaine and oxy addict. Got down to 80 pounds and very ill. She changed her story about 4 times yesterday. Then went to Vegas!

The kids should be removed until both parents are deemed clean and safe.

Some women were not meant to be mothers- sadly that is Jenna. She tried forever to get pregnant for years and it never worked, there was a reason. In her isolated case, I curse fertility drugs.

they'll both get out of everything, thats why the lame excuses are coming out, they have money to buy their ways out just like elin and tiger did.

Tito ask your lawyer to file an emergency motion to have Jenna drug tested!!!!!!!!! If what you say is true your first job is to PROTECT those babies!!!!!

Somehow I believe Tito. Jenna seems spacey and out of touch with reality. She is real chatty with TMZ and parading around herself after the incident. Seems to me she is on drugs. How sad. Hope she gets help.
