Appearing on the "Today" Show this morning, Quinn Gray's husband admitted he's hurt and confused, but he's supporting Quinn's defense against extortion charges.

"It's because she's mentally ill that I have to stick by her.  The minute you put the divorce hat on, the next second you put on this is a family member who has a mental illness, and I can't abandon that person".

Quinn Gray's attorneys claim she is bipolar and was kidnapped and manipulated by Jasmin Osmonavich.

Both Osmomavich and Gray are charged with extortion.
