Ray Rice's wife: Hey media, thanks for ruining our lives

[DarrinS]

Janay Palmer is finally breaking her silence about the video showing Ray Rice beating the crap out of her in a hotel elevator -- defending Ray and blaming the media.

In a post from her Instagram page Tuesday morning, and verified by the Baltimore Sun, Janay Rice writes, "I woke up this morning feeling like I had a horrible nightmare, feeling like I'm mourning the death of my closest friend. But to have to accept the fact that it's reality is a nightmare in itself."

She continued, "No one knows 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 every day is a horrible thing. To take something away from the man I love that he has worked his ass of for all his life just to gain ratings is horrific."

Rice ended the post by saying, "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 happiness away, 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!"

"unwanted options from the public" ?

unwanted opinions?

next time, Fox, always protecting/supporting women as part of the Fox/Repug War on Men, advises "take the stairs"

Obviously ployed by Ray to say this.

dunno, no doubt her most "horrible" is the $Ms LESS she'll have to play with.

If RR doesn't get back in the NFL, what's he, she gonna live on? She better start looking around for her next ATM.

[TDMVPDPOY]

either 50/50 or being to greedy

I sympathize with her having to relive everything, and the strain it probably has on their marriage, but it's not really up to her to decide how criminal acts by public figures are handled by the media or her husband's employer.

happens after you do something like that.

... only if caught on video.

happens like that 1000s of times/day, but no vids, nothing happens (eg, the Ferguson killer cop, killer Geo Z)

She shouldn't have spit in his face. happens after you do something like that.

[boutons_deux]

yep, she deserves to be knocked out for spitting. the chick and the NFL linebacker were equally guilty, move on, right wingers got no problem with their he-man macho linebacker knocking out a female.

false equivalence.

lol domestic violence apologist

[boutons_deux]

ladies, don't go spittin at Snake "Ray Rice" Boy.

[SnakeBoy]

lol domestic violence apologist

lol sympathizing with her as if she played no role in what happened. He deserves his punishment and she deserves to lose out on her payday.

You're a peach.

[ChumpDumper]

So if your girlfriend wife spat in your face, you would punch her out?

How about your sister?

Your mother?

[angrydude]

To be fair, spitting on someone's face can be construed as assault. If Rice had spat on her face, he probably also could have been charged with domestic violence

[FromWayDowntown]

I love when this topic devolves into the " had it coming" defense. In times when I question myself, seeing those sorts of responses to these sorts of discussions reminds me that I might just be more reasonable than I thought.

Any dude who hits a woman is a lot of things, but justified is never one of them.

Your mother?

No I wouldn't hit a woman. Why do you think she is an innocent and then advocate punishing her?

[ChumpDumper]

No I wouldn't hit a woman.

So why are you such a fan of others punching out women?

Does it get you off?

I didn't say he was justified, in fact I said he deserves his punishment...and so does she.

Innocent of what?

Punishing her for what?

Use your words.

Welcome to being an entertainer on TV.

You pay the price of losing your privacy when you are really good entertainer.
Funny how people have not figured this out yet.
I guess the NFL needs to prepare players by including a class on this subject.
