Audio After The Jump
The 911 call placed by Chad Johnson's neighbor after his domestic incident with his wife Evelyn Lozada has been released.
On the call the neighbor calmly tells the dispatcher that he has somebody there that was in a domestic dispute with their husband and that the police probably need to be sent out. The neighbor says the incident involved a "high profile person." He requests the police not to make a big scene when they come. He also adds that Lozada will probably need stitches for the cut to her forehead.
At this point it isn't clear who initiated the headbutt that caused the three-inch laceration to Lozada's forehead. Both Johnson and Lozada are blaming each other.
Lozada issued her first public statement today through her publicist regarding the incident. She says Johnson needs help.
"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."
**UPDATE**
TMZ is reporting that Evelyn Lozada is filing for divorce from Chad Johnson putting an end to their marriage of six weeks.
Lozada filed legal docs moments ago in Florida, claiming her marriage is "irretrievably broken." The couple had a prenup according to the report.
Johnson is now headed for divorce court and out of two jobs after being released by the Miami Dolphins and having his VH1 reality show cancelled.
The fight that led to all of this drama was reportedly sparked after Lozada found a receipt for a box of condoms in Johnson's car.
