Jerry Lawler spoke with WMCActionNews5 from jail earlier today about his early morning domestic violence arrest and subsequent indefinite suspension from WWE.
Lawler said that he wrestled in Memphis last night at an event ironically named, “A Night in the Slammer.” When he got home, his fiancée was drunk and they started fighting.
“When she drinks we get into a little bit of a shouting match and then she wants to leave,” Lawler said over the phone from jail. “I was not going to let her leave in the car, because she was not in any condition to drive. She got more and more upset.”
He and his fiancée told police very different versions of what happened, which is what led to both of them being arrested. When asked if he had a message to his fans about the arrest, Lawler said,
“It’s an unfortunate situation as a result of someone drinking too much. I’m saddened by it and hope we can get past this.”
