He told : “I think it’s unfair to make those kind of blanket statements because we have kids now, you know? I have children.
"My kid goes to the same school her kid goes to. So imagine him when he has to deal with that at school.
“I can go into that and blow up the spot -but I wouldn’t. And I’ve been very responsible in not talking about what that marriage was or what it meant to me.
“Because it happened in the past, you can try to sweep it under the rug, but you don’t stay married to somebody or be with somebody for four to five years and it’s just based off you getting high off of ecstasy, you know what I mean?"

“He told me if I went for child support, he’d never be in the little guy’s life."
