07/10/09 - Jenna Jameson responds to yesterday's comments
Jenna Jameson has responded to comments made about her yesterday by Mark Coleman’s manager and sponsor, Michael DiSabato. He made disparaging comments (although he has since withdrawn them) about former adult actress Jameson and her husband Tito Ortiz after Ortiz referred to Mark Coleman as a ‘sissy’ for pulling out of their UFC 106 fight.
“I am sad to see that Mark Coleman must rely on his mouthpiece to do his cleanup work for dropping out. He feels that taking personal stabs at my character, will help him get a payday with Tito,” Jameson wrote on Twitter.
“I chuckle at the fact that Tito’s opponents are so desperate, that they need to say terrible things about me,” she added. “Go ice your knee, Mark. Its a sad day in MMA when a fighter and his "manager" attacks a new mommy in order to get attention - wish him luck with rehab.”
It should be noted that Coleman himself had nothing to do with the comments made yesterday. And DiSabato contacted Fighters Only near the end of yesterday to say that he regretted making such “emotional” comments in the heat of the moment.
“When I said what I said, I was very emotional. It was me responding without thinking, and that’s not really my style,” the businessman said.
“Where that came from was, I have been a friend of Mark Coleman for over 20 years, we were in college together, and I just jumped right in to defend him. I feel he deserves a lot of respect for his achievements in this sport and I feel he does not always get the respect that he deserves.”
“But in retrospect I should not have made those comments. It is not my style to talk about another man’s wife like that and it is not something that we want associated with Mark Coleman. Those comments were mine and not Mark’s but it is still not the kind of thing this sport is about.”
Despite his own elite-level trash-talking skills, Ortiz himself has not yet made any response to the comments DiSabato made yesterday. His latest Twitter update, posted in the early hours of this morning, says only, “I’m in Big Bear Ca. Getting ready for anyone who I have to fight. Hell months start tomorrow till nov.19th. 7month of work.”
