The unfortunate incident took place after the hot and heavy couple returned to Jersey after filming a project in LA. “We were actually talking about hooking up and joining the mile high club,” she explained. “Some heavy PDA was involved, just the opposite of what certain people reported they saw."

"After that brief bit of fun between us we prepared for takeoff and I ordered a glass of white wine," she continued.

"We asked why we were being removed from the plane. We complied with everyone involved from the flight attendant to the authorities. Through this entire stressful situation, my husband was nothing but a gentleman and never once lost his composure,” she insisted. “To be crystal clear, there was no complaint of domestic violence, signs of distress or request for assistance made by myself and there was no wrongdoing by my husband."

“Jim and I have been married for 10 years and he has always treated me like gold and we have a beautiful relationship and a wonderful life,” she said. “Every relationship has flaws and we are not perfect BUT these reports are undeniably false and disgusting.”
