Tito Ortiz arrested for domestic assault on Jenna Jameson

MMA champion Tito Ortiz was arrested on domestic assault charges today in Huntington Beach, at the home he shares with Jenna Jameson and their twin sons. Several hours after posting bail, Ortiz and his attorney accused Jameson of drug addiction and claimed Ortiz never struck her.

"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," attorney Chip Matthews said. “We’re here because Tito was trying to help her. Tito Ortiz never laid a hand on Jenna.”

Ortiz wept openly at the hastily arranged news conference at an Italian restaurant in North Hollywood, saying the support of his family and Jameson’s father “just means the world to me.” “My parents have gone through an addiction, and I’m seeing a mirror of that,” Ortiz said. “I hold everything dear to my heart that Jenna will be OK.”



For the record, Tito denies beating Jenna as well. What's the real story? Stay tuned, I'm sure this will play out in the news.

Ortiz is a former UFC light heavyweight champion whose celebrity has eclipsed his MMA accomplishments since he began a relationship in 2006 with Jameson, perhaps the world’s most famous adult film actress. Jameson, who crossed into the mainstream after publishing a popular autobiography in 2004, gave birth to the couple’s twin sons, Jesse and Journey, in March 2009.



Tito Ortiz was in front of the cameras late last night talking about his recent trip to jail and defending himself. The charges of Tito Ortiz domestic violence as well as Oxycontin was called into question in front of an eager media audience

According to the attorney of Tito Ortiz, Chip Matthews, the issue isn't with Tito, but with Jenna Jameson who allegedly is addicted to Oxycontin. The two at the press conference says that the former porn star has been battling with the pill addiction for over a year. Feeling the addiction needs to be public to defend the actions of Ortiz, as they say there was no domestic violence only a meltdown due to the discussion of the drugs..

There was also a short discussion on the concerns of what might happen in the future for the couple. Now the oddest thing has to be how the press conference ended. Instead of everyone asking a few additional questions, a reporter from Channel 7 news asked if the couple was planning to get back together. Ortiz instantly got visibly upset and immediately left the podium behind the curtain. On the tape you could hear him break into tears.

The situation with the Ortiz family now includes two young kids, drugs and a court hearing which will be addressing the alleged charges against Tito Ortiz. It definitely is a mess that hopefully can be worked out privately.
