Statement in Response to the Recent News Story that Aired on "Celebrity
Justice" on 8-11-2003
From Sean Regarding Joanie
Hello Everyone,
I want to Thank You for your support & kindness. Also for not rushing to
judgment over such a disturbing situation. I wish I could say none of this
happened, however some of Joanie's claims are based on a true story. I will
shed more light on what happened when I am able to sit down and type for an
extended period of time. I am using a Kinko's computer , as My Computer is
out of action.
I did want to at least let you know I am grateful for all of your support. I
didn't know what the reaction was going to be to such a damaging story. I
was originally served with a 1 page document that didn't have her statement
on it. That was 2 days later.
I was served with the real copy of the order on Monday. Her story has major
holes in it that I will point out & prove after I have time to get My nuts
together. Even typing this has been exhausting . The Celebrity Justice piece
& The Globe article due out this week are very damaging, and even if She
admits She completely distorted the truth & She was Sorry, The thought of Me
doing the things She claims will be in people 's minds now.
I am curious to know why if She was in hiding from Me and the restraining
order was for August 1st , then why did She have Me take her to the airport
Friday night so She could fly to Chicago for the comic book convention. That
is after we spent the day in bed together at her apartment . She wanted Me
to go with her at that point. Actually I knew She probably didn't, because
She was going there to support a movie project she was in by a comic book
illustrator. A really good guy by the way. I got text messages from her the
next day saying it would be good to be apart. I never saw that one coming
1000 miles away. So I called and said I was in Chicago, just got in. That
made her furious, and I was hung up on.
She told Me not to ruin this for Her & used some very harsh 4 letter words
in a really disturbing tone. She thought I was there & if I was I would have
been nuts out of luck. A day and a half later She finally text messaged Me.
I let her know this restraining order was going to make me look bad. She
text messaged Me wanting the lady's number from the Globe so She could
"smooth things over". I have the text messages saved . She has totally
distorted and manipulated the truth and conveniently left out very important
facts.
I Love Joanie more than I thought was possible. That Love is unconditional .
She could not grasp that concept, so she didn't believe it. But I do. And
this is in spite of the countless times in which She purposely did or said
things to hurt me.
She said I threatened to kill myself. Never in My life have I said I was
going to Kill Myself. I told Her that She was slowly killing me & to just
get it over with. I have definitely seen my lowest point thus far in my
life.
She makes the claim in the report that She thinks I have a drug problem,
because She seen needles in my bag. Well She would know everything in my
bags because She has snooped through all my personal things since the
beginning . Her saying I have a drug problem yet no mention of her own
issues of that nature. I have needles for a variety of things like vitamin b
12 & other things. She has given me a shot in the ass with those needles
more than once by the way. I don't like telling my private matters to the
whole world, but I want it to be the truth if it's going to be public. I can
handle the truth, even when it hurts. I admit my faults, Why the hell can't
others do the same? They have most of the same kinds of flaws as I do. Yet
they seem to think that if they don't admit them , they don't exist.
Bulls***. foar have been accused of being homosexual, and having starred in
pornography. I have been hit by her more than once. I Only used any holds to
restrain her from hurting Me. One friend of ours warned Me that She was
trying to get Me to hit her.
She also mentioned that on July 14th I broke the window out of her passenger
side door. I did break her window after relentless name calling &
provocation.
Notice July14th. Well that's the day after My birthday. She was in Chicago
until the 12th & coming home on My birthday to have a party for Me. She
never once called Me (I called her) I never saw her on My birthday &
definitely no card or gift. I was a cry baby and I should get over it,
according to her. I was so upset by her constantly mocking me, that I asked
her Please back off. Please. She kept on & I lost My composure and smashed
the window out with My elbow. She kicked me out on the side of the street.
That's what happened there. I should have seen the writing on the wall. I am
a glutton for punishment & abuse I guess.
The incident was blown out of proportion by her. I never tried to hurt her
only restrain her & fend her off. However I did shove her to the ground, and
when She ran back at me with her hands in the air as to hit me, I placed my
right foot into her chest & Shoved her back to the ground again. A true kick
to the body would have sent her to the hospital . Joanie is an incredibly
powerful woman, one of the strongest in the world at one time. She bench
pressed 350 pounds plus . The world record was only about 30 pounds
difference. I wrapped her in a rear naked choke (My legs wrapped around her
waist) She has turned this into Me trying to snap her neck. Never did I cut
off her wind pipe. I was trying to keep us both from getting hurt. I do not
mean to offer this as an excuse for My part in this. There is never an
excuse. My wife Terry punched Me over 10 times in the face and I didn't hit
her . So
I wanted to give you a better idea of what happened . I know this is my side
of the story , from my point of view.
I will take a polygraph test to back up my statements. I think it's a good
idea actually. Since My reputation has been damaged by Joanie's claims,
Maybe we could go on "Celebrity Justice" and both take a lie detector test.
I'm not holding my breath for that to happen.
I really must go after 5 hours on this Kinkos computer. I feel like I needed
to get this out for you all to see. I still love Joanie .
People ask what kept me there so long when I should have been gone along
time ago. I asked Joanie to marry me, she made me the happiest man on earth
for the first 3 months or so. I always told her that I would never
give up on her. I kept on hoping that she would come back to being
like she was when we were first together. She is almost a completely
different person. I remember thinking I had finally found my happiness
after years of constant drama from my marriage of over 11 years. Well
my time with Joanie easily outweighs the entire rest of my adult life in the
drama department.
I really must go now. I am ashamed of myself for letting things escalate to
this point. I am ashamed of putting Joanie ahead of my children. They are
the greatest thing I have & I have forsaken them for a woman. That sounds
terrible and it is. Good bye for now.
Yours truly, Sean Waltman
