Former UFC light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz called a press
conference in North Hollywood, Calif., Monday night and said an alleged
domestic abuse incident with longtime girlfriend Jenna Jameson was
prompted by Jameson’s addiction to the prescription opiate OxyContin.
“Unfortunately, Jenna relapsed this morning and suffered the
consequences of that,” Chip Matthews, Ortiz’s personal lawyer, said at
the press conference. “We’re here because Tito was trying to help her.”
Ortiz denied harming Jameson during the incident, which allegedly took
place Monday morning at the couple’s home in Huntington Beach, Calif.
