He Said, She Said: Tito Ortiz Released From Jail, Alleges Porn Star Girlfriend Jenna Jameson is Drug Addict
The battles between mixed martial arts star Tito Ortiz and porn actress Jenna Jameson are playing out in a public arena, as the troubled couple slings accusations at each other in the media.
Following his release from Huntington Beach Jail last night on charges of domestic violence, Ortiz held a press conference at North Hollywood's Firenze Osteria, where he "claimed that the altercation occurred when he confronted Jameson about her alleged drug use," according to LA Now.
This morning, Jameson refuted those allegations, after having told the media yesterday that she sustained injuries from a fight with Ortiz. The well-known adult entertainment performer and entrepreneur claims Ortiz's aggression towards her was shocking, and turned to Twitter to share her thoughts with her fans: "Its sad tito had to resort to attacking my character. I am being strong for my children, and I hope he feels a bit better now."
Oritz and Jameson have been together since late 2006. The couple have one-year-old twin sons, Jesse Jameson Ortiz and Journey Jette Ortiz.
