Jenna Jameson's Wife Jessi Lawless Confirms Divorce Rumors

The breakup season strikes again, as former adult film star Jenna Jameson is heading down the divorce route nearly a year after she said her vows.

The media personality's wife, Jessi Lawless, recently announced the news in an emotional TikTok video — confirming she decided to pull the plug on their marriage following her partner's struggles with alcoholism.

In the heartbreaking video, Jessi films herself looking somber in an all-black ensemble featuring a beanie over her short blonde hair and a sweater. She takes a deep breath before kicking off a lengthy explanation about the end of her marriage, saying:

"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."

Jumping into the reason for their breakup, Jessi added, "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," the heartbroken spouse laments. "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."

Jessi recalls confronting Jenna about her drinking at the Chicago event; however, her partner allegedly refuted the claims. The story changed when the former claimed she had pictures of her holding a glass of champagne.

Although Jessi never had proof of Jenna's drinking, the latter believed her and finally came clean about giving in to her addictions. Unfortunately, she had zero remorse about it — a carefree attitude that broke her wife's heart.

"She has no remorse. She told me point blank, 'I'm not sorry. I don't feel sorry,'" Jessi recalls. "I'm crying, I'm literally…tears running down my face, begging for some sort of remorse from her, and she had none."

Apart from allegedly having no remorse about drinking, Jessi claims Jenna tried to twist the narrative and avoid responsibility for her behavior. Recalling their conversation, the former adult film star's wife said:

"She just wanted to turn it around and blame me. I don't know how it's my fault, but maybe I shouldn't have had such high expectations."

Nonetheless, Jenna had crossed a line, and there was no room for negotiation in Jessi's book. "But that's it, I filed for an annulment, and it shouldn't take long to finalize," she added before concluding the video with a final message to her soon-to-be ex-spouse, saying:

"I'm sure you'll see this, Jenna. I love you with all of my heart, and I really hope that…I really hope the best for you."

Jessi's divorce announcement received multiple supportive comments from fans who resonated with her struggle. One TikTok user penned: "I hope that you can heal your heart and wish you the best!!" Another wrote:

"I'm so sorry for what you are going through but proud that you are sticking to your boundaries. You are a strong person. Keep it up."

A third TikTok user addressed the situation from a personal perspective, stating: "Feel your words about your journey within my soul. Thank you for sharing your authentic self. Somehow, this just helped heal parts of my soul. Been right there years ago."

"My heart is breaking for you and Jenna. My prayers are with you both. Keep your chin up, pumpkin," a fellow supporter added.

Jessi's divorce announcement comes one month before the couple's first wedding anniversary. She tied the knot to Jenna in a Las Vegas ceremony on May 23, 2023, after the pair dated for about five months.

At the time, Jenna raved about their blossoming connection in an interview, saying:

"I found the person that I truly should have always been with. I try to go over in my mind why I ever dated or married men, and it's selfish and bad to say, but I think my driving force [was] children."

Three months into her married life, the former pornographic film actress doubled down on her claims about Jessi being the perfect partner for her. She told PEOPLE:

"[Jessi] just feeds my soul, and I'm happier and happier and happier every day I wake up next to her."
