Violence — Over Baby Formula

Two time AVN “Best Performer” actress, Tori Black, and her
fiance, Lyndell Anderson, were arrested and booked early Friday
morning at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas for domestic
violence, with the couple allegedly disputing over baby formula
for the five month old son they share.
According to the police report, Black (real name: Michelle
Chapman) told police that while in town at the AVN awards, she
came back to the hotel after a night of drinking, with Anderson
and their infant son waiting in the room. Allegedly, the
fighting ensued when Tori told police that Lyndell didn’t have
“enough breast milk.” She then reported that Anderson called her
“An unfit mother” which is when according to reports—Black
admitting to punching Lyndell in the back of the head, however,
stating that she did so in self defense as he shoved her against
a wall.
Police reported that Tori had bruises on her arm and later,
reviewed the tape in which TMZ reported that “[they]saw Lyndell
push Tori with such violent force that she flies across the
hall.”
Ominous Speculations stirred earlier in the night when Tori’s
friends said she missed hosting an AVN party at RPM Nightclub on
Friday night.
As of press time, no further information on Tori Black or
Lyndell Anderson’s arrest have been made public.
UPDATE from AVN.com on January 25
AVN spoke with Black this afternoon, and she offered the
following statements regarding Friday morning’s events:
“I went out to host a party at Sapphire nightclub, and I was
hanging out with Alexis Texas and Asa Akira, and we were all
having a great time, just sitting having a few drinks, and
anybody who knows what happens when you stop drinking for a
really long time and then start drinking again, is that you
realize that your tolerance has gone way down. Before I realized
it, I was getting pretty drunk.
“So we got in the limo and headed back to the hotel, and I
stopped at the bar with a friend, and we were having a serious
conversation, and I had another few drinks, and by that time, I
was way past my limit and not really thinking about what I was
drinking. By the time I got to my hotel room, I was going in and
out of blacking out, and essentially what happened when I got to
the room was, I wanted to cuddle with my baby, as usual—that’s
the first thing I want to do when I get home—and his dad was
worried that I might hurt him by accident because I couldn’t
even walk straight, I couldn’t think, I was really, really quite
drunk.
“By the time he told me that he wanted me to sober up before I
held the baby, I got very defensive, I was embarassed because I
knew how drunk I was, and I thought he was going to take the
baby away from me for good, just because, you know when you’re
drunk, you just don’t think straight. So I kind of went a little
berzerk and tried to get the baby, and everything he did was
just to restrain me.
“The police were called because I was screaming for help because
I wanted my baby. I just wanted to hold him and did not realize
how far gone I was, and Lyndell just wanted me to compose
myself. You know, if I’m trying to lay with the baby, you never
know what could happen, so he was just trying to take care of
both of us. [TMZ] said he used excessive force, which is not
true, and from anybody who knows me, I am a tough girl, and
trying to restrain me takes excessive force. Essentially, that’s
the story, and that is the whole story, and the most important
thing to me is my family, and I made a very big mistake, and to
them I apologize. I apologize to the people that came to see me
at AVN and didn’t get a chance to say hello, because I was
otherwise occupied. I apologize to the companies that I let down
and the engagements that I was supposed to have. I let everybody
down, and it was a mistake that I made, and I apologize. I
apologize to Lyndell, obviously, because the first thing that
people want to say is that I’m being abused by the person that
I’m with, and that’s just far from the truth, so I just wanted
to go on record and straighten it out and say essentially it was
more of me being too drunk. From what I hear from Lyndell, I
punched a wall and not his head, so it was blown pretty far out
of proportions.
“The most important thing is that my family and I are OK and
they forgive me, and we are working on moving forward.”
Black added that she and Anderson do have a court date scheduled as a
result of the arrests, but that she expects no charges to be
pressed, as no damage was done to the hotel property, nor were
any complaints made of public disturbance.
