“While the information about this case will be revealed in due course, I believe it is important to convey and clarify a few facts about the situation,” Liddell wrote in the statement. “I was the victim of the incident last night at our family home, as details of the case will reveal. The deputies informed me that my wife would be arrested, as I did not respond to her assault while I sustained bruising and lacerations. I volunteered to go in her place.”
“This was one of the many times I have tried to shield a family mental health issue from the public purview. It has become painfully apparent that this cannot continue, as our private life has now reached a public breaking point. Please respect our privacy as I help to navigate our family through this difficult time.” Three days after his arrest, Liddell filed for divorce from his wife.
