UPDATE 4:01PM: A representative for Evelyn Lozada confirms to The Huffington Post that Evelyn has filed for divorce from Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson.

UPDATE 3:00PM: Radaronline is now reporting that a Boston woman claims she had a heated affair with the former New England Patriots player.

Beverly Shiner, 30, says she dated Johnson from January until May this year, while Evelyn was planning the couple's wedding--and she claims that Ochocinco didn't even try to hide his deceit. She said their relationship went on for three months.

On Saturday, Dolphins wide receiver Chad Johnson (AKA Chad Ochocinco) was arrested on a domestic violence charge, accused of head-butting his newlywed wife ("Basketball Wives" star) Evelyn Lozada during an argument in front of their home outside Miami.

Three days later, Evelyn has finally released an official statement about the incident.

“It is with great sadness and much trepidation that I release this statement addressing the domestic violence incident that happened this past Saturday," the reality star wrote in an email via her publicist. "I am deeply disappointed that Chad has failed to take responsibility for his actions and made false accusations against me, it is my sincere hope that he seeks the help he needs to overcome his troubles. Domestic violence is not okay and hopefully my taking a stand will help encourage other women to break their silence as well. I’m grateful to my family, friends and fans for the outpouring of support during this difficult time," she wrote.

The official statement comes just one day after VH1 announced it was pulling Chad and Evelyn's new reality show, "Ev and Ocho," from its fall schedule (the reality series -- a spin-off of "Basketball Wives," -- was slated to premiere on September 3rd).

"Due to the unfortunate events over the weekend and the seriousness of the allegations, VH1 is pulling the series Ev and Ocho from its schedule and has no current plans of airing it," the network said in a statement Monday.

According to The New York Times, eleven episodes about the couple’s engagement and wedding were taped this year, including a two-part season finale.

In other bad news for Ochocinco, the Dolphins terminated his contract Sunday night, 24 hours after his arrest.

According to People.com, Lozada was treated for a "pretty good sized" laceration at a nearby hospital in Davie, Florida on Saturday night.

The Associated Press reports that the head-butting incident -- which happened Saturday after Lozada found a receipt for a box of condoms in her Miami Dolphins wide receiver husband's car -- took place in front of the couple's home.

Evelyn and Chad got married last month in Miami.

It has been a tough week for the Lozada family. On Monday night, Lozada's brother-in-law Anthony Ochoa passed away following a long battle with cancer.

Evelyn dedicated a message to Anthony on her website this afternoon. "I can’t put into words how much you meant to us and your life was taken far too soon," she wrote. "I promise to take care of my sister Sylvia and your beautiful girls Mia and Nisa. Thank you for having the strength to keep your promise to me and you will forever be our angel and in our hearts. We love you."

  • Evelyn Lozada

    What we love most about Evelyn Lozada isn't her ability to deliver clever insults like "You're a nonmother******* factor," -- or the fact that she's engaged to former NFL wide receiver Chad Ochocinco -- it's that Lozada always keeps it real. She hasn't had the easiest life--she got pregnant at a young age and has admitted to being on welfare and to being cheated on repeatedly by her former boyfriend, Antoine Walker. But Evelyn wants to send the message to young moms that they too can dream big.

  • Rosario Dawson

    The Afro-Cuban and Puerto Rican actress has worked with great actors (Will Smith, Denzel Washington, Phillip Seymour Hoffman), great directors (Oliver Stone, Spike Lee, Robert Rodriguez)--and she's played iconic roles (Mimi in the movie-musical Rent; Gail in Sin City). But when she's not acting, Dawson is working hard on <a href="http://votolatino.org" target="_hplink">Voto Latino, the non-profit voter registration organization</a> she co-founded in 2004. Why? Because Rosario knows just how important it is to mobilize young Latinos to hit the polls!

  • Zoe Saldana

    She's the star of the highest grossing motion picture of all time, James Cameron's "Avatar" AND she's a proud Afro-Latina! "As a Latina, I think we should be very proud of our heritage," the half-Dominican, half-Puerto Rican beauty has said. "We tend to look for European roots and reject the indigenous and the African, and that's disgusting. Being Latin is being a mix of everything. I want my people not to be insecure, and to adore what we are because it's beautiful." Amen, Zoe!

  • Yaya Dacosta

    Best known as the runner-up on the third season of the hit reality competition America's Next Top Model (2004), Yaya Dacosta has lately been making a name for herself as a serious Hollywood actress. The multi-ethnic Dacosta (of Brazilian, West African, and Native American descent), was immensely likeable as Tanya, Mark Ruffalo's sexy, foul-mouthed lover in last year's Oscar-nominated film The Kids Are all Right, and this fall, she starred opposite Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried in the sci-fi thriller, In Time. Dacosta isn't just another pretty face--she's also highly intelligent and has a degree in African Studies and International Relations from Brown University.

  • Arlenis Sosa

    A current spokesmodel for Lancome, Dominican model Arlenis Sosa is on a first-name basis with everyone from Oscar de la Renta to Anna Wintour. She has also walked for some of the most prestigious designers and fashion houses in the world. But what we love most about Arlenis is the way she supports her fellow Afro-Latinas.
"Models need to stick together, especially black models, whom people are always accusing of being too competitive," she said in 2010. "I never think about things in terms of someone taking a job away from me or me taking it away from them. If you get it, I'm happy. If I get it, I'm happy. The important thing is that black models are doing it big now."

  • Lauren Velez

    The Puerto Rican actress, who is known for her roles in "New York Undercover," "Oz," and "I Like It Like That," is still just one of a handful of women representing Afro-Latinas on television, as Captain Maria Laguerta on Showtime's hit serial killer drama, "Dexter."

    She was Ashley Banks, the little girl with the infectious smile on the 90s sitcom, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and now, Tatyana Ali is an inspiring Afro-Latina who's all grown up.

  • Heather Hemmens

    The former star of the CW's hit show "Hellcats," Heather Hemmens, who's half-Costa Rican, says people don't believe she's half-Latina. "[People don't immediately think of me as Latina] because my mother is a black Costa Rican, so I have this skin tone that's kind of unidentifiable," explains Hemmens. But the proud Afro-Latina says being unidentifiable has gotten her nondescript roles. "It's great because as an actress, it gives me a versatility to play a black woman or play a Latina woman. I've even played Egyptian and Indian American. With the right hair and makeup," she says. "I've actually got a pretty good road going here where I can play a lot of things."

  • Esperanza Spalding

    She plays several instruments masterfully--including bass, the oboe, the violin and the clarinet. She also sings in three languages and has played for President Barack Obama and First Lady, Michelle Obama at the White House. And, she's part-Latina! "My mom is Welsh, Hispanic, and Native American, and my father is black," says the Afro-Latina Spalding. We love her for breaking the mold in more ways than one.

  • Joan Smalls

    The gorgeous Afro-Latina model (who hails from the small Puerto Rican town of Hatillo) has walked the runway for everyone from Marc Jacobs to Gucci. Knowing full well that there are millions of beautiful Afro-Latinas in the world, Estée Lauder Global Brand President Jane Hertzmark explained why they selected Joan to be their new face. "We are thrilled to introduce Joan to women around the world. She truly reflects Estée Lauder's modern vision of global beauty." We couldn't agree more!

  • Gina Torres

    This talented Afro-Cubana has had starring roles on several sci-fi TV shows including, "FlashForward," "Alias," "Serenity," "Dark Angel," and "Firely"-and we love that Gina always plays strong, confident women who aren't afraid to challenge the status quo. Torres also appeared in two of the Matrix films ("The Matrix Reloaded" and "The Matrix Revolutions"). It was during filming The Matrix Reloadedthat the Afro-Latina star met her now husband, Laurence Fishburne

The daughter of a Salvadorian mother and an African American father, Sabi is a style-siren with beautiful curly hair, gorgeous skin, massive sex appeal and undeniable talent as a songwriter, singer, and rapper. We can't wait to see what she has in store for us in 2012!

    Best known for her role as Cheerio Santana Lopez on FOX's hit show "Glee," Naya Rivera is one sexy Afro-Latina! The 24-year-old actress is of Puerto Rican, African American and German heritage, and she's one of the few Afro-Latinas playing a Lesbian on television. Can you say "badass?"

  • Rocsi Diaz

    For seven years, this gorgeous Afro-Latina hosted BET's hit show "106 & Park." The driven TV personality also has her own self-titled, nationally syndicated radio show called "Rocsi on the Radio," and she just completed filming on her first feature film, "The Great Divide."

  • Christina Milian

    Christina Milian is best known for her role in the movie "Love Don't Cost A Thing" (2003), and hit singles like "AM to PM" and "Dip It Low," but she's also a strong Afro-Latina who survived a very public breakup from her husband The-Dream with grace and class and stayed strong to raise her daughter, Violet. The single mom is currently a Social Media Correspondent for NBC's hit singing competition, "The Voice."

  • Judy Reyes

    There's never been a more endearing relationship between a Latina TV character and an African American TV character, than the relationship between Carla Espinoza (Judy Reyes) and Turk (Donald Faison) on the long-running comedy, Scrubs. Much of the humor on the show stemmed from Turk's inability to understand Carla's Dominican culture -- but in real life, Reyes--who's Dominican and Black -- loves both sides of her equally. And we love her!

  • Mariah Carey

    Who isn't obsessed with the part-Irish, part-African American (and part-Venezuelan) singer? We can't wait to see Mimi judge "American Idol" this fall!

  • Dania Ramirez

    The "American Pie Reunion" star is hands down one of the sexiest actresses in Hollywood! And although she's best known for her roles on "Heroes" and 'Entourage," if you ask us, Dania's most important role is her role as the face of Covergirl Cosmetics--because in that role, she inspires other young Afro-Latinas to embrace their beauty and reach for their dreams.
