"I've been a witness to it for two and a half years and their are a lot claims that he is online It's completely untrue I've been here the whole time!!!" the former bartender shared, adding, "He takes care of his mental health and is serious and has been working with a doctor for 2 and a half years and I want to make it VERY CLEAR ABOUT THAT. Because of all the claims about him."
Martin also noted that she's "dropping all charges" against Carter and that she's "going to the doctor to get help with my POST PARDOM DEPRESSION."

She continued, "MY SONS WELL BEING IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO ME IM NOT SURE IF HE WILL FORGIVE ME BUT I WANT HIM TO KNOW IM SORRY AND THAT I SAID THINGS THAT WEREN'T TRUE AND MADE A MISTAKE AND I WANT TO BE HONEST TO EVERYONE and the WORLD AND MAKE THIS RIGHT. BUT AS I SAID BEING A MOM AND TAKING CARE OF MY SON AND MY POST PARDOM DEPRESSION IS MOST IMPORTANT FOR MYSELF MY SON AND AARON."
Martin concluded her note, writing, "I don't know if we can work this out with each other as a couple but I'm hoping he'll forgive me."

As reported by The Blast, Carter was accused of punching Martin during a recent domestic dispute.
In a video posted on the same day as her statement, Martin denied all claims in a video she made with a friend.
"One day is not going to affect me anymore because I'm not going to deal with these people anymore. What they say -- I'm not listening to people's opinions anymore at all. Like, I know what goes down, and I know that he's a good father. I'm a good mother. Like, that's all that matters," she said.
