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."

Matthews stated many times that Ortiz did not lay a hand on former porn-star Jameson. Speaking through sobs, Ortiz added, "It means the world to me, my friends and family for their support. My parents have been through an addiction and I see it in the mirror again. I am not going to let my family go through that. I speak from my heart, I hold everything dear to my heart that Jenna will be okay."

The whereabouts of the couples 1-year-old twin sons Journey and Jesse is unclear, but they are reportedly being well looked after. In conclusion to the press conference, Matthews said, "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."
