Yesterday was a strange day for Christina Aguilera news. First thing in the morning, Radar reported that just days before Christina filed for divorce from Jordan Bratman, Jordan had brought Christina to the hospital with a split lip, plus assorted cuts and bruises. The insinuation was heavy that Jordan could possibly be an abuser, and Radar even released photos of the alleged “split lip” later on Thursday (it looks like she had a small cut just below her lower lip). Anyway, just a couple of hours after Radar’s strange report, Redbook released an exclusive statement from Aguilera, in which she seemed to be asking for our sympathy, and wanting to put herself out there as “the victim” in the divorce. Now some sites are scrambling to answer the question: was Christina a battered wife? The answer everyone keeps coming to? NO.
What a relief! Despite pictures and reports showing Christina going to the hospital to get stitches the day before she announced her separation Oct. 14, an inside source reassures us it wasn’t because of domestic violence!
We have to admit, we were a little scared when we heard that Christina Aguilera, 29, had to go to the hospital after an alleged fall in her home Oct. 12. Our minds immediately began thinking her hubby, Jordan Bratman, 33, had something to do with the injuries. However, HollywoodLife.com exclusively spoke with a family insider that puts our scares at ease!
“Bad, bad timing, but he didn’t hit her. He is not in any way a violent person,” our insider adamantly declared, adding, “Christina would never stand for that kind of behavior ever, plus she wouldn’t hide from it.”
TMZ is also reporting about Christina’s coincidental cut lip, saying, “Sources directly connected with the couple tell us it was not domestic violence!”
We’re still bummed that Christina and Jordan split — but it’s comforting to know Christina doesn’t have to deal with the demons of a abusive husband! That would be horrible.

TMZ’s story is here – they don’t really have any proof to back up their claim that Christina was NOT abused either, but they have some vague sources. My guess is basically the same as yesterday – Christina might have had something wrong with her lip, but it wasn’t from Jordan’s fist, and she released that statement because she wants people to forget about her relationship to Sam Ronson’s Xanadu Vadge plus all of those randoms. I’ll add something else – if Jordan is and was in no way abusive, Christina owes it to the father of her child, and to women who are truly abused by their partners, to speak out herself and refute the claims.
with all due respect only those 2 know, he always looks angry in photoes.
Ok, so the battered wife visiting emergency room story just seems off to me. If she was an abused wife keeping a secret why would she go to the emergency for relatively minor cuts and bruises, to then be met by her personal doc. Wouldn’t she just stay home and have her doc come to her? I think this is just a women who had an accident and like those of us who have never had stitches or fell hard enough to get bruies she went to the emergency room. She got there and once they figured out her lip was cut to the point she would need stiches they called her personal doc so it wouldn’t leave a scar.
In my opinion I just think they’re fishing on this story and it is in no way cool to call a little boy’s father an abuser just to get people to visit your site. So even though I’m sure they are over at Radar patting themselves on the back for beating the pants off of TMZ yet again, I think this was a low blow.
I still don’t know either way but the timing is interesting to me, and the fact that he accompanied her to the ER.
I wish I could remember where I read it, but she did come out last night and say that there was no abuse- no violence in the marriage- she fell, and cut her lip. End of story. I have no qualms about him going to the ER with her or why she’d go to the ER for “just a cut lip”, This woman values her face even more than she values her voice, and I have a feeling her husband has been more of a lackey assistant than a husband to her anyway.
So what exactly happened to her that she had to go to the hospital? I think she is hiding something, she probably pushed his buttons being really bitchy and he smacked her but since she doesn’t want anyone to know her just how bitchy she is,she is denying it.
Christina sure did put on some weight during her marriage. Why do people get so lazy after they wed? The little boy is seriously cute, but his daddy not so much. They stopped looking happy after the child was born. Immature men can’t handle not getting all the attention. Sad.
@Maritza getting your buttons pushed doesn’t excuse slapping or hitting EVER.
@Marjalane I hope you are right.
Well said Kaiser!! I agree totally, Christina should release a statement refuting these claims.
@ lady yes she did put on some weight-thats what happens when you GET PREGNANT! and whats wrong with that anyway?
She did release a statement saying there was no abuse, just a simple fall. It’s the gossip blogs that are continuing to push this non-story and blame her for it, instead of blaming Radar for floating this story in the first.
Does La Lohan have an alibi for the time of the alleged incident? Maybe she got wind of Samantha and Christina creeping on the downlow and took matters into her own hands. She was caught breaking out of rehab.
Why are we pushing her to release the statement she gave last night?!?
She did release a statement yesterday confirming that she in fact fell. So, now all those who posted comments about her leaking the story for sympathy or to detract away from rumors about her and Ronson look really silly right now. But I forgot it’s about Christina so there’s no need for fairness or accuracy.
I think these abuse allegations are awfully convenient days after it was widely reported that Christina was into women and had a fling with Samantha Ronson. I feel like she’s trying to sweep the Ronson scandal under the rug quickly with rumors that her husband was beating her!
I’ve thought for years that she was into ladies….
This reeks of a COVER UP and DISTRACTION from what is really going on. Laineygossip pointed out prior to Aguilera filing for divorce that something big was on the horizon, that something scandalous was going to come out. Behold a week later when news of her being bisexual and having affairs with women while she was married. I found it interesting that she didn’t deny or comment on those rumors but as soon as a potential lover was identified (Ronson) she vehemently denied it saying that Ronson was just a friend. I believe this rumor much more then I believe Jordan was beating her (she has come out to state publicly that he was not beating her) like i said it’s all a DISTRACTION
She doesnt owe anything to anyone. Her life is her life. Whether she was abused or not just because she is a celeb she doesnt owe it abused women to make a statement. Would it be nice if she did – sure but she certainly doesnt owe it to anyone.
