Yesterday afternoon when I read about the arrest of Tito Ortiz for domestic violence I thought about posting something, but I figured that between then and now something juicy would come out because people would start really digging. It turns out that no digging was necessary because Tito himself provided the juice.
Last night after getting out of jail, Tito had a press conference. At it he said that Jenna was addicted to hillbilly heroin, otherwise known as OxyContin. I have never understood that brand name. Everytime I hear it I think of acne medicine.
Anyway, this is what the now twice arrested for assault and MMA fighter Tito had to say through his attorney.
"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. 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."
Apparently Tito found some drugs and Jenna denied they were hers leading to an altercation. Tito swears he didn't touch her though. Well, this seems pretty simple. Have Jenna take a drug test to make sure their very, very young kids are safe. If she tests positive, let the kids stay with someone who isn't abusing a highly addictive drug and only give them to Tito if he is found not guilty.
Tito's attorney did say that Jenna's family has sided with Tito in this despite the fact that it was Jenna's dad who called 911 although he was not at the couple's home when he called.
When I heard about Tito's comments I could relate. My husband has been battling a pill addiction for many years. He just recently relapsed again. He would stumble and fall frequently and when I would confront him he would get very angry and deny it - he even denied when I found the empty pill bottles with his name on it. I hope that Tito didn't really push or hit her because I don't condone violence against women and especially someone who is an MMA fighter who could kill her. If she is on drugs, I hope she gets the help she needs for her sake and the sake of her children. And if Tito really did abuse her I hope he goes to jail for a very long time.
ReplyDeleteI don't think Jenna tried to commit suicide. The women was obsessed with having kids for years.
ReplyDeleteI think this is a mix of Tito trying to save his career and maybe in some backwards way trying to make Jenna get help. I know how easy it is to get addcited to pills I have had friends go down that slippery slope.
I don't know who to believe.

ReplyDeleteon Dlisted there is a pix of Jenna, she is not looking good.
ReplyDeleteI call BS on Jenna. If he did beat the crap out of her like he said, what the heck is she doing out on the streets just hours later making statements to the press.
ReplyDeleteSomething smells fishy here
Yeah, I can relate, too. I can also think of many times when my husband has "relapsed" where I felt like kicking his butt. In any case, I'm hoping this gets resolved soon, for the kids' sake.
ReplyDeleteThe name is a combination of the words "Oxycodone" and "Continuous release."
ReplyDeleteShit is no joke, either. I refuse to take one and hope never to need one.
If she tore ligaments in her shoulder, as she claims to have, there is no way she is picking up that baby, trust me, I work in physical therapy. And that broke ass brace she's wearing in the pics on Dlisted is for epicondylitis, or strained elbow, not a shoulder injury. Having known and loved many OxyContin addicts, she looks hooked. Even has the tell tale "Oxy Bloat". I feel bad for everyone involved.
ReplyDeleteShit. Sounds like there's some truth on both sides, but "twice-arrested"? I totally agree on the drug-testing thing. Stupid privacy laws.

ReplyDeleteI need my eyes checked because for a hot second, I thought that was Tiger standing next to Tito.
ReplyDeleteAt any rate, I think there is a grain of truth to both sides of their stories. Poor kids.
That dude's head looks like a circus peanut.
ReplyDelete@Ashlea - that was my first thought! there's no way she would be able to pick up her child.
ReplyDeleteI believe him but I also think there's some truth in Jenna's story and he's a freaking MMA fighter! one hit and she's down.
Story sounds bogus, especially since she was on TMZ yapping to the paps and taking pics holding the babies. If you have a torn ligament in your shoulder WHY are you wearing a brace on your elbow and how in the HELL are you carrying your baby?! I call BULLSHIT on this story.
ReplyDeleteAlso, about that torn ligament story...when exactly did she get an MRI and have a doctor confirm that that's what it was?
ReplyDeleteLet's just say I was beaten up by my spouse. I would either be holed up in my house mad, crying, or humiliated and sending my friends or family out to the CVS to pick up my medical brace, which she did only hours later.
She has been on SOMETHING for the last couple of years, that's for sure. I think his version of the truth sounds the most plausible for now.
ReplyDeleteHer story has stunk from the get.
ReplyDeleteDlisted reported that the Tito was sobbing after the press conference. It could be an act but Tito's image is to look tough so I doubt it's an act. I'm believing Tito's side of the story since it's a good point that it would be hard to carry two two year olds after you hurt your shoulder.
ReplyDeleteTeam Tito
ReplyDeleteI tore my rotator cuff in one of my shoulders, and could not pick up an empty skillet or a half gallon of milk for weeks. Thank God for some good physical therapists like you, Ashlea.
ReplyDeleteHope Jenna gets the help she needs.
it's like there's a 'celebrity apprentice' curse...jesse, brett, now tito...
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of inclined to believe his side of the story, something just seems fishy. And if true, she's quite a hypocrite for badmouthing Kendra for having a night out.
ReplyDeleteif she fucked up her shoulder, why does she have an elastic bandage wrapped around her upper arm? she'd be wearing a sling. that bandage looks like something her lawyer told her to put on before she got her picture taken.
ReplyDeletei believe him. totally has the ring of truth to me.
WHY do her parents have custody of the babies?
ReplyDeleteNothing against the fine folks at GoodWill Industries but that's where he looks like he should be working.
ReplyDeletePlease explain to me how, after being arrested for domestic felony assault having a press conference accusing the person you beat of being an oxy addict, is keeping his family's privacy? Shifting the blame on the person you beat up and hurt? It's legitimate drug that can be responsibly used and prescribed, is Tito a doctor now?
ReplyDeleteHe's a cheap low-life who got caught beating a woman a third of his size, injuring her. Now she really will need pain meds, so how exactly did he help a situation, if in fact there is one in the first place? Jenna is saying she wants to reconcile, but he's proven he will attack her, and try to humiliate her if it's convenient for him to excuse his bad behavior. In other words, he's a pussy who beats women and will throw her under a bus to justify his brutality.
She's a whore and whores unfortunately get beat up sometimes. I think it goes with the terrortory(spelled on purpose).
