Evelyn Lozada has filed for divorce from her husband, Chad Johnson, following his arrest on Saturday night on suspicion of head-butting her, her rep confirmed to the Associated Press. Evelyn best known for role on Basketball Wives.

Lozada claims in her divorce filing, submitted this morning in Florida, that her marriage is "irretrievably broken." The couple exchanged vows on July 4. In an exclusive statement to ET, Lozada opens up for the first time about the incident that led to the split.

"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," she tells ET exclusively in a statement.

Johnson, formerly known as Chad Ochocinco, has since been charged with battery, with a bond set at $2,500, and was cut from the Miami Dolphins football team.

VH1 also pulled the couple's upcoming reality show, "Ev & Ocho," from its lineup Monday.

"Due to the unfortunate events over the weekend and the seriousness of the allegations, VH1 is pulling the series 'Ev and Ocho' from its schedule and has no current plans of airing it," VH1 said in a statement.

*Whether the person be rich or poor, tall or short, angry or passive- Domestic Violence has no place in our lives. Anger does not give you the right to put your hands, or in this case head-butt another individual. Other resolutions can be used. Being physical is just a quick way to unlease angry feelings at another person's expense. As the title of this article says DV is never Okay. So you see that it not only is an option

taken in the poorer neighbohoods today. It knows no boundaries. Be careful, and be safe. Be aware of what is going on around you and watch for signs that these behaviors are possible in those you socialize with, work with, live with, fellowship with. Report any type of suspected abuse

going on. It could mean the difference in someone getting the help they need, or perhaps even saving someone's life. Beaware. God Bless!
