Tito Ortiz was arrested on April 26,2010 for domestic violence at the home he shares with porn star Jenna Jameson. When you have a story like this with such a popular and successful woman being allegedly attacked in some way by Tito Ortiz,a man who is no less than a trained weapon, you would expect the overwhelming press to side with her behalf. However this does not seem to be the case, the next day after being arrested Ortiz breaks news announcing that Jenna Jameson (represented by his lawyer of course) has been battling an addiction to Oxycontin for over a year. As soon as this news breaks press the focus quickly shifts to Jenna Jameson, in fact Tito Ortiz effectively discredited Jenna Jameson"s word in one fell swoop. News articles began coming out with very different depictions mostly framed around her role as mom. This point grabbed so much attention Tito was even awarded full custody of their kids for a time. But you have to ask why was it so easy for Tito Ortiz to sustain his public image after this event with one move, and the only variable worth seeing seems to be her prior occupation as a porn star. This one variable already has Jenna Jameson at the very brink of social acceptance on mainstream news, and with the "addiction" on the table it was all too easy to draw her morals into question further and dismantle her claim. While this to could be seen as the beginning to the end for Jameson as her abuse of drugs and alcohol to this day is questioned, Tito share her struggles. So I guess if you want to rough up your wife a little, make sure you can make everyone believe she's a crazy whore, easier done than said in this case.Saturday, April 19, 2014
Is the woman always right?
There is no way you can be a boy growing up and not hear one way or another the truth that women are always right in the eyes of the law this phrase entails that a women's word carries more weight than a man's in cases where the women are the victims such as sexual assault cases or domestic dispute. While this phrase is often told to boys as a precautionary tale of women lying and something to avoid, one man right or wrong faced this problem head on and showed its flaw.

I interned for the National Network to End Domestic Violence, so this blog post caught my eye. It's an interesting story of how someone, Ortiz in this case, abused his wife and wanted any easy way out. Watching the video of Ortiz's lawyer telling the audience about Jameson's addiction really shows his manipulation: he's crying and looking down, acting like he is the hero in the case. The red flags of domestic violence are previous signs of abuse, he was arrested in 1998 and pleaded guilty to "battery with serious bodily injury;" takes no responsibility for their actions, which Ortiz doesn't seem to be doing in the lawyer video from TMZ; and blames the failure on the relationship on their partner, which Ortiz does with Jameson by claiming this happened because of her drug use.
