Former adult star Jenna Jameson has now broken her silence after her wife announced that they had split after just 11 months of marriage earlier this week.

The businesswoman, 50, only got hitched to Jessi Lawless on 23 May last year, but the pair have already called it quits.

She tied the knot with the inked-up internet star, 41, at the Little Church of the West in Nevada, Las Vegas, which is the same place where the ex-adult star's parents said their 'I do's'.

Jameson and Lawless walked down the aisle to 'Ring of Fire' by Johnny Cash, and opted for an impersonator of the country star to conduct the ceremony rather than the standard Elvis Presley lookalike.

They then drove off into the sunset in a neon green Lamborghini, however, it seems like they aren't getting the fairytale ending they had hoped for.

On Tuesday (16 April), Lawless shared a video to TikTok and Instagram alongside a broken heart emoji announcing she was separating from her wife.

The former barber, 41, said: "This is a very difficult video for me to make. But here it goes, There are a lot of rumours going around that Jenna and I are getting a divorce and I am making this video to confirm that.

"I told her in the beginning of our relationship that I was drawing a hard line and that drinking had led to so many problems in her life, that I would not tolerate it at all under any circumstances.

"And this is the first time that she went to an event without me since we've been married. This is the first time she's been away from me.

"I've been keeping her on the straight and narrow and she goes to Chicago and she starts drinking."

Lawless claims that she 'confronted' her spouse about her alleged booze habit and claimed that she was 'definitely trying to lie about it', before adding that she later 'admitted it' but had 'no remorse'.

"She told me point blank, 'I'm not sorry. I don't feel sorry'," Lawless continued to claim.

"She just wanted to turn it around and blame me. I don't know how it's my fault but, maybe I shouldn't have had such high expectations. But that's it, I filed for an annulment and it shouldn't take long to finalise.

"I'm sure you'll see this Jenna. I love you with all of my heart and I really hope the best for you."

Jameson has since released a statement after her wife's video started to go viral.

She began by saying that she hopes 'anyone struggling with addiction or trying to stay sober has access to an empathic and loving support system'.

Jameson told the Daily Mail: "Research has shown that empathy and understanding are better responses to addiction than judgement, shaming, and moralising.

"Expressing your unconditional love and support may be one of the kindest things you can do. Let them know that you are there for them—relapse or not, ten days sober or 200.

"Unfortunately, in the past, due to cultural attitudes surrounding addiction, tactics such as shaming, humiliating, shouting and 'attack therapy' were commonplace.

"Currently, rehab centres recognise that this approach would constitute malpractice and would have no place in the delicate process of treatment.

"It is much more likely that clients will experience greater success when empathy is placed at the forefront of the client care process."

In a statement provided to LADbible, Jameson added: "My health is the best it has been in years. I am back at work and have a number of exciting projects in the works, including a documentary.

"Sadly, some individuals who have not lived with addiction can judge others harshly, but I remain fully committed to my sobriety and shall continue to strive for a positive future. I sincerely wish Jessi all the best."

LADbible has contacted Lawless for comment.
