Porn queen Jenna Jameson's baby daddy was charged Monday with beating her up at theSouthern California home they share.
Ultimate Fighting Championship star Tito Ortiz, 35, father of Jameson's 13-month-old twin boys, was hauled off to jail in handcuffs from theHuntington Beach house and charged with felony domestic violence.
Jameson, 36, said she was "completely shocked" that the 6-foot-3, 210-pound Ortiz would assault her.
"Tito is a loving, sweet man. I've always supported him," said the former XXX-rated leading lady. "For him to lash out at me is shocking."
Asked if she was going to press charges, the buxom beauty responded, "Oh, yeah!"
"You have to press charges," said Jameson, who is 5-feet-7 and weighs 110 pounds. "This isn't something you can just get over."
Jameson's father, Lawrence Massoli, an ex-Las Vegas cop, said his daughter immediately got a restraining order against Ortiz.
As three cops placed Ortiz in the back of a squad car, the mixed martial arts brawler denied being abusive to Jameson.
"No," he said curtly when asked by a TMZ.comcameraman if he was being arrested for domestic violence.
Massoli said he was at the house, which Ortiz owns, when the abuse occurred and called 911.
Jameson, with her right arm wrapped in a medical brace, said it was the first time Ortiz hit her.
"I feel completely betrayed," Jameson told reporters outside the house.
Asked about her injuries, she said, "My arm's okay. I'm tough."
She declined to disclose what sparked the abuse, but said, "It wasn't minor."
Police went to the two-story Spanish-style home after getting Massoli's 911 call of a "disturbance" at 9:53 a.m.
Ortiz, a former Ultimate Fighting light heavyweight champ, was booked at the Huntington Beach Jail. He was expected to be released last night on $50,000 bail.
The charges have jeopardized his career. "We're going to be fair, but we could cut him," Ultimate Fighting boss Dan White told TMZ. "Other than going on a killing spree, being accused of domestic violence is the worst thing you can have going for you."
Jameson - the star of such porn classics as "I Dream of Jenna" and "Hell on Heels" - has her own home in Hollywood, but spends most of her time at Ortiz's house.
Ortiz and Jameson began dating after meeting on MySpace.com in 2006, shortly after she divorced her second husband, on-screen sex partner Jay Grdina.
In January 2008, Jameson announced she was retiring from porn performing, but would continue to run her $30 million-a-year Internet porn company, ClubJenna.com.
Jameson gave birth March 16, 2009, to Ortiz's twin sons, Jesse Jameson and Journey Jette. She revealed this month she is launching a singing career.
