Jenna Jameson shares statement after wife Jessi Lawless confirms they're getting a divorce
Jenna Jameson has spoken out in the wake of the breakdown of her marriage to Jessi Lawless.
Jameson, a former adult star and Playboy bunny, wed social media personality Lawless last year.
But their marriage seems to have now come to an end in light of a reported relapse by Jameson.
The adult film star has been extremely candid about her sobriety journey over the years.

She's recently undergone a huge body transformation too, with Jameson saying that she's 'crushing her goals' after shedding 80lb.
While Jameson is succeeding in life, it seems the same can't be said for her love life.
Addressing the rumors that the celebrity pair have broken up, Lawless took to Instagram and TikTok to issue a statement via video.
"This is a very difficult video for me to make. But here it goes, 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," she told her 111,000 followers.
"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 went on to allege that her wife was 'trying to lie about' her alleged drinking.
She has since filed for an annulment of their marriage.
Lawless concluded that she's 'sure' Jameson 'will see this', adding: "I love you with all of my heart. I really hope the best for you."
In light of Lawless' video that she posted yesterday (April 16), Jameson has released a statement herself.
A representative for the ex-porn star told UNILAD that Jameson didn't want to comment on her marriage status at the this time.
She did express her hopes that 'anyone struggling with addiction or trying to stay sober has access to an empathic and loving support system', however.
"Research has shown that empathy and understanding are better responses to addiction than judgement, shaming, and moralizing," Jameson continued.
"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 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."
UNILAD has also contacted Lawless for comment.
