Jenna Jameson's wife Jessi Lawless deletes divorce announcement video, claims she loves her

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: It seems there is still hope left in the married life of Jenna Jameson and Jessi Lawless as the latter took down the video in which she announced their divorce.

Lawless told TMZ, "I don’t want her mental health impacted any more than it already has been. I love her. This is a very delicate time for us." She apparently took down the video after having a candid phone call with her estranged wife. 

Jessi Lawless says she and Jenna Jameson are 'trying to find hope'

Lawless continued, "We’re both heartbroken and trying to find hope for the future. She’s told me she’d never drink again, and I can see at this point that she is in fact sober today and plans to remain that way. I just wanted her to be safe & healthy." 

When asked if she would consider withdrawing her annulment filing, she told TMZ that there would always be hope for her and Jameson as a couple. 

In the now-deleted video captioned "It's done," which was shared on Tuesday, April 16, she noted, "There are a lot of rumors 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," asserted Lawless, who tied the knot with Jameson in Las Vegas on May 23, 2023.

"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," further claimed the entrepreneur and social media personality. 

Jenna Jameson presents her side of the story 

In response to Lawless' claims, Jameson told DailyMail, "Research has shown that empathy and understanding are better responses to addiction than judgment, shaming, and moralizing. 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," added the actress. 

Jameson explained, "Currently, rehab centers recognize 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."
