We\u2019ve known each other since we were 12 years old. We\u2019ve obviously been through some s\u2014 together. We\u2019ve got three kids.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is one of those situations that\u2019s horrible, I\u2019m embarrassed \u2014 but it\u2019s also one of those situations that right now we\u2019re more concerned about our kids,\u201d he added. \u201cWe have three kids and obviously, since the video popped up, we\u2019ve shown the kids the video and we\u2019re more focused on our family right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m literally making no excuses for this thing at all. It\u2019s never happened before,\u201d he continued. \u201cIt\u2019s the first time it\u2019s ever happened. People are going to say what they\u2019re going to say and it is what it is. Whatever people say is deserved. I deserve it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">What kind of scumbag hits his wife? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/P6Jh1Ybv21\">pic.twitter.com\/P6Jh1Ybv21<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ian Miles Cheong (@stillgray) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/stillgray\/status\/1610088683604176897?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 3, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Anne also gave a statement to TMZ where she corroborated his claim that this type of incident has never happened before.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo say this is out of character for him is an understatement \u2014 nothing like this has ever happened before,\u201d she said. \u201cUnfortunately, we were both drinking too much on New Year\u2019s Eve and things got out of control, on both sides.
