Former UFC champ Tito Ortiz, who just two weeks ago mysteriously dropped out of his scheduled main event fight with Chuck Liddell at UFC 115, apparently decided to take on a slightly easier opponent: former pornstar and mother of the couple’s children Jenna Jameson. Ortiz was arrested yesterday in Huntington Beach on charges of domestic violence:
According to TMZ, police officers went to the home of the 205-pound, 35-year-old mixed martial arts fighter and the 110-pound, 37-year-old porn star after receiving a 911 call reporting a “disturbance.” Ortiz was soon removed from the home. Later Monday, Jameson, who retired from the adult industry back in 2008, was photographed with her arm bandaged.
However, this morning Ortiz came out with a PR counterpunch of his own, accusing Jameson of being addicted to Oxycontin:
“Jenna has been fighting a battle with OxyContin addiction for the past year. For Tito and her family this has been an uphill battle. Unfortunately this morning she had a relapse,” Ortiz attorney Chip Matthews said. “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.”
Jameson, who had walked back her story to earlier in the day – telling TMZ “He did not beat me. If he would have beat me, I would be dead right now” – promptly reversed her reversal, calling Ortiz a “wife beater.” Doubtless more juicy details will be forthcoming, as this public battle goes in the later rounds. Guess that’s what you get for marrying a pornstar/dude who beats people up for a living.
