Evelyn Lozada Files For Divorce From Chad Johnson, Marriage Shorter Than Kim Kardashian's (Details)
Chad Johnson's wife of six weeks, Evelyn Lozada, filed for divorce in Florida on Tuesday, Aug. 14.
According to TMZ, Lozada filed the petition stating that their marriage is "irretrievably broken." The report also revealed that the couple had a prenuptial agreement.
The reality star just married Johnson less than two months ago on July 4 in Saint Martin. The wedding planning and ceremony was recorded for their reality show "Ev and Ocho" but VH1 announced on Monday that they dropped the show from their fall lineup.
Johnson was arrested for a domestic violence after head-butting the "Basketball Wives" star which resulted in a laceration on her forehead.
The incident report posted on TMZ revealed that Lozada found the receipt for a box of condoms in the trunk of the car she shared with her husband as she was taking groceries into their home. When she questioned Johnson, who recently changed his last name from Ochocinco, about them, he responded with a head-butt to her forehead following an argument.
The report also stated that he yelled, "I don't give a f***! I don't give a f*** about my career!"
TMZ also reported that Lozada ran to a neighbor's home to hide and call police. She was later taken to West Side Regional Hospital and released early Sunday after her injuries were treated. The affidavit stated that the reality star had a 3-inch cut on her forehead that required several stitches. Johnson told cops she said "F*** it!" then butt- headed him but that he did not have any visible injuries.
"She has a pretty good-sized laceration on her forehead," Davie Police Capt. Dale Engle told the Miami Herald.
Lozada released a statement on Tuesday following the incident with her husband Chad Johnson.
"It is with great sadness and much trepidation that I release this statement addressing the domestic violence incident that happened this past Saturday," Lozada said in a statement released to Entertainment Tonight Online.
"I am deeply disappointed that Chad has failed to take responsibility for his actions and made false accusations against me, it is my sincere hope that he seeks the help he needs to overcome his troubles," she added. "Domestic violence is not okay and hopefully my taking a stand will help encourage other women to break their silence as well. I'm grateful to my family, friends and fans for the outpouring of support during this difficult time."
