Both Dana White and his wife commented on the regrettable incident, stating that alcohol was to blame. Witnesses said that both were drinking heavily before the incident. Dana said that “there’s never ever an excuse for a guy to put his hands on a woman, and now here I am on TMZ talking about it.”
Anne White had a longer statement:
“Dana and I have been married for almost 30 years. To say this is out of character for him is an understatement — nothing like this has ever happened before. Unfortunately, we were both drinking too much on New Year’s Eve and things got out of control, on both sides. We’ve talked this through as a family and apologized to each other. I just hope people will respect our privacy for the sake of our kids.”
