TMZ proves they are the masters of insider tips once again because Evelyn did in fact sit down with ABC’s Amy Robach to discuss her troubled relationship with Chad Johnson and we’ve got a preview of the special right here.

From the snippet of the exclusive posted below and the transcript highlights posted on NecoleBitchie.com, this interview is everything we expected: a whole lot of tears, a whole lot of finger-pointing, a whole lot of PR. Evelyn says that she hasn’t spoken to Chad since the incident which occurred August 11, and goes into detail about what happened the night he head-butted her, what led up to that altercation, and why she decided to file for divorce. The special airs tonight at 11:30 on ABC, but for now check out these highlights:

What she wants to hear from 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.”

Will you watch tonight?

    No. I will not be watching this. I still don’t have any sympathy for somebody that has a foul mouth, that curse and fights. When the tables are turned, she claimed that she is the victum of domestic violence and claim that she hopes that Chad gets the help. She needs to get help just as well. I do have sympathy for men and women who are really sincerely are victums of domestic violence. I am sure that this so called reporter is not going to ask her the real questions, more than likely, she can only ask what Evelyn is willing to answer. I still say she has some responsibility on her part. I have to agree, make up does wonders, I don’t see a scar anywhere on her head. I have to agree with the rest of the responses, ABC Nightline is mighty desperate for rating to stoop this low.

    She and soon to be ex husband are not saints, or role models for people having positive relationships. She loves attention and will do anything to get it. Will not watch this at all.

  • mrs.j.cole

    you know what I don’t even have sympathy for her i don’t feel bad at all how she just gonna showcase that huge bowling ball head of hers? Not cool. I won’t be watching this nor will I watch bbwm but Karma is a b…what goes around comes around evelyn

  • LD

    I’m playing devil’s advocate here. She may have been headbutted above the hair line. Aren’t there verifiable police reports that she was injured and did go to the hospital? Why isn’t Chad filing a lawsuit for wrongful dismissal if he’s innocent?

  • Staci B

    After watching the video, I may be the only one here who actually feels for her. She seems to have loved Ocho very much. He has now destroyed his life too. It’s just a sad situation all around.

  • get real

    She played/is playing this thing out to a tee.

    WOW…How ironic…why are Black women so hell bent on defending Chad Ochodumbo? He told you straight out that he would rather be with anyone but an Afro-American woman, so why so much support for him? He chose to be with a woman just because she wasn’t Black AmeRican (although still Black Latina) and claimed that all African American women were unattractive and useless to him – so why are y’all defending this fool?? I swear if it was the other way around and a Black woman said how much she hated Black men, they would surely not defend you. Smdh…

    • Yah

      In fact, if Evelyn had been a Black American woman , Chad probabaly would’ve done much worse than a headbutt to her! I don’t get the support for Chaddie boy!

  • poetsgroove

    Why did this remind me of the Robin Givens/Mike Tyson interview? I’m not watching, the way I see it; there are 3 sides to a story. Her story, his and what really happened. She said that the person on BBW is not the real person at home. Then why not just be who you really are? I dont condone any abuse on any human being. But it’s really hard as woman to feel any anything for her at this point. However, I hope she get’s the help that she needs as well.

    just as expected, i see her mushing him in his face, pointing her finger and rolling her head and all of a sudden POW, head busted to the white meat ( even tho there is no scar she had a slight knot probaly) Evelyn go sit
