We've heard from former Baltimore Ravens player Ray Rice after he was initially suspended for two games for assaulting his now-wife Janay Rice, but yesterday, he was cut from his team and then suspended from the NFL entirely.
Well, his wife, who has stood by his side throughout this ordeal, released her own statement, which read:
"I woke up this morning, feeling like I had a horrible nightmare, feeling like I'm mourning the death of my closest friend," Janay Rice wrote in an Instagram post. "But to have to accept the fact that it's reality is a nightmare itself. No one know the pain that the media & unwanted options from the public has caused my family. To make us relive a moment in our lives that we regret everyday is a horrible thing.
"To take something away from the man I love that he has worked his ass off for all his life just to gain ratings is horrific. THIS IS OUR LIFE! What don't you all get. If your intentions were to hurt us, embarrass us, make us feel alone, take all happines away, you've succeeded on so many levels. Just know you've succeeded on so many levels. Just know we will continue to grow & show the world what real love is! Ravensnation we love you!"
This case stirs up a lot of emotions in people, especially if they saw the graphic video of the incident where Rice knocks out the love of his life in an elevator, then flops her on the ground outside.
But no one truly knows what goes on behind closed doors except those two. It's up to them to figure out how to handle it. But we would hope that whatever she chooses… that she's safe.
The moral of the story is to keep your hands to yourself, or suffer the consequences.
