Ev labeled it an “incident” and said she is “deeply disappointed that Chad has failed to take responsibility for his actions.” Chad allegedly head butted Evelyn. She then ran to a neighbor’s house to flee from her enraged husband who allegedly screamed expletives at her.

Chad denies being the aggressor and says Evelyn head butted him!

Her statement:

“It is with great sadness and much trepidation that I release this statement addressing the domestic violence incident that happened this past Saturday. I am deeply disappointed that Chad has failed to take responsibility for his actions and made false accusations against me, it is my sincere hope that he seeks the help he needs to overcome his troubles. Domestic violence is not okay and hopefully my taking a stand will help encourage other women to break their silence as well. I’m grateful to my family, friends and fans for the outpouring of support during this difficult time.”

On top of this tumultuous time in her marriage, her brother-in-law who–walked her down the aisle–passed away from cancer.
