The 5\u2019 3\u2019\u2019 mother of two allegedly assaulted her 6\u2019 6\u2019\u2019 partner, professional volleyball player Bobby Jacobs, in front of hotel security, who immediately called the police.<\/p>\n

\n

On Wednesday, Stanton broke her silence via her PR team in a statement to US Weekly<\/em>. She claimed she was \u201cembarrassed and ashamed this happened\u201d and apologized to hotel security and the Las Vegas Metro Police Department.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cAmanda is a gentle, respectful person who has never gotten physical with anyone under any circumstance. That evening she had a few drinks at a bachelorette party and when hotel security asked her and Bobby to quiet down, she got a bit rambunctious,\u201d the statement said, while also describing the assault as \u201cwhat [Stanton] thought was a playful shove.<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite Bobby explaining this was not an ill-intended shove, the police still had to do their job which Amanda completely respects and understands,\u201d added the spokesperson.<\/p>\n

Serious Potential Fallout<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Las Vegas Metro<\/a>\u00a0said officers responded to a battery domestic violence call at approximately 3:15 a.m. Upon their arrival at the hotel room, another \u201cphysical altercation\u201d allegedly took place between Stanton and Jacobs in front of police officers.<\/p>\n

Stanton was arrested, transported to Clark County Detention Center, and later released. TMZ<\/em> reports that the couple are still happily together and believe something may have been \u201cslipped into her drink\u201d during the party.<\/p>\n

Domestic battery is really taken very seriously in Nevada so if convicted,\u00a0Amanda\u00a0could face up to six months in jail and $1,000 in fines,\u201d Las Vegas Criminal Defense Attorney\u00a0Cristina Hinds\u00a0told Hollywood Life.<\/em><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cShe could also be required to attend six months of court-mandated classes. The problem is that if\u00a0Amanda\u00a0lives in Southern California, then she would have to travel back to Nevada every weekend to attend these classes,\u201d Hinds added.<\/p>\n

Concerned for Kids<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Stanton finished fourth on Season 20 of ABC\u2019s The Bachelor<\/em>, before returning for the spin-off, Bachelor in Paradise, <\/em>which she won. She became engaged to bachelor Josh Murray after the show, but they broke off their engagement in December 2016.<\/p>\n

Murray took to Twitter on Tuesday to say he took no pleasure from the news of his ex-fianc\u00e9e\u2019s arrest, and was worried about her children.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201c[I’m] sad actually, and concerned for the little ones like I\u2019ve always been, not worried about all my scars — I hope she\u2019ll get better for them, she can do it,” the former Bachelor<\/em> wrote.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
