Tito Ortiz: Jenna Jameson Battling OxyContin Addiction
April 27th, 2010
Tito Ortiz has given a press conference following his arrest on Monday morning (April 26), after an alleged domestic disturbance with wife Jenna Jameson, claiming she has been battling an addiction to OxyContin for the past 12 months.
Huntington Beach Police were called to the couple’s Southern California home at 9:53am after Jameson’s father called 911.
The Ultimate Fighting champ was arrested and thrown behind bars until he posted $25,000 bail later in the day.
“Jenna has been fighting a battle with OxyContin addiction for the past year,” his lawyer, Chip Matthews, said in a press conference.
“For Tito and her family this has been an uphill battle. 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.”
He added, “When you’re dealing with people on OxyContin they don’t always have the best sense of balance. Jenna and Tito have two children together, they planned on spending the rest of their lives together. They want nothing more than to work together on this.”
