Just a few weeks ago, ‘Basketball Wives’ star  Evelyn Lozada was involved in a domestic  violence dispute with her husband Chad Johnson which left her with a huge  gash on her forehead. Now for the first time, she is opening up in an exclusive interview with ABC’s Amy Robach, about the events leading  up to the fight as well as what she would like for Chad to do if he would like  for them to reconnect again.  In between tears, she says that she just wants to  hear him say, ‘I’m Sorry’ and she would like for him to get help. She also made  it a point to mention that she is not the person that people see on ‘Basketball Wives’ while at home and she did everything she could to make  Chad’s life better. ‘I was a good wife to Chad’.

Peep a few of the excerpts below:

On what she wants for Chad I would like for him to tell  me that he got help and that he is working on himself, whenever I talk to my  sister or my girlfriend, I always say I want the best for him. I really do! And  he is a good guy who made a bad choice. He loves football, he is very driven, a  great dad. He made a bad choice that destroyed his life and I hate that I’m  connected to that, I do, but it was his choice. It wasn’t mine.

It would have to take sometime [for us to speak  again]. I love him very much and I think that us being away from each other is  the right thing. So when is he going to say sorry? [...] It’s the hardest thing  in the world to walk away from someone that you really love/ But you have to  walk away because I have to protect myself.

On the events leading up to the head-butting incident And  then the next thing I know, he grabbed me by here [pointing to her head] and he  head-butted me. I felt blood coming down my face… and I looked at him and I  said, ‘You just head-butted me?’ And it just — everything just felt if it was in  slow motion.

He was gone to me, like, it wasn’t him. He got out of the car, really, really quick and ran into the house, and I  said to myself, ‘I need to get out of here.

On the decision to file for  divorce I said to myself, ‘I’m never going to go through that  again, ever. I don’t think any woman should ever have to feel like that or be  fearful of her husband.

I was a very good fiancé and wife to Chad. I did everything I could to make  his life better. The person on ‘Basketball Wives’ is not the person at home. I  don’t think he would marry me if I was.”
