Ray Rice‘s long-suffering wife Janay Palmer responded to his termination from the Baltimore Ravens in typical battered woman fashion — by blaming others for his downfall.
Palmer, 26, posted a message on her private Instagram account on Monday, just hours after Rice’s contract was terminated.
Palmer blamed the media and the concerned public for sensationalizing what her then-fiancee did to her in an elevator at Revel Casino in Atlantic City in February.
“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,” Palmer wrote.
TMZ released video footage on Monday showing Ray Rice knocking out Palmer with one punch. He then callously dragged her out of the elevator and dropped her on the floor like a bag of trash.
“No one knows the pain that the media & unwanted [opinions] has caused my family,” Palmer wrote. “To make us relive a moment in our lives that we regret every day is a horrible thing.”
Meanwhile, world renowned wife beater Columbus Short also commented on NFL star Ray Rice’s termination from the Baltimore Ravens on Instagram.com. And though Short’s message was positive and uplifting, his followers dragged him unmercifully. Short lost his plum role on ABC’s Scandal TV show starring Kerry Washington as a D.C. “fixer” who makes the president’s problems go away.

You know I don’t usually care what folks do in their personal lives… but when I can see with my own eyes you getting knocked clean the fawk out and you think it’s okay…. Fawk you, Fawk ya man ….you’re both pieces of shyt 
She’s a victim. Money ain’t the sole reason she staying. She’s a victim. There are chicks getting stomped in the projects. This lady called in Lonnie Hunter show and called her a gold digger. Smh.

Chile I am done with this here shyt ….. cause guess what 
everybody can be replaced
I believe that saying shyt on a media platform so soon after is not helping the situation. Its one thing to have to go through tough times but its another to have to go through it publicly. I always tell my cousin, give me the money but you can keep the fame
Columbus is trying to help his own case. He’s been volunteering a lot lately as well.
Mrs. Rice is going to try to use her post to stop her next beat down, but it ain’t gone work.
What SHE doesn’t understand is: a) MOST of the people going hard on this issue are going in on the ISSUE of domestic violence and not HER specific, basic, abused a$$ b) That if she likes getting her a$$ thrashed – we LOVE it.
Where are the women in abused relationships who WANT “support”? Fukk a trick who wants to stand by the abuser.
These folks and ALL THIS MONEY and they can’t even think to buy a good PR guy/gal… THIS is what they get
Columbus Short should be dragged just for using the word “unexceptable” instead of unacceptable.
fool ass.
Bifurcating
Let me say what WEBMD say this condition is 
he’ll work again, fugg a black woman life to those green dollars, they just waiting on us to die down, like every other situation we march, protest, scream about, nothing new from us to them.
but for her to just chill like aint nothing happen and your lifeless body on that floor, hunny you need to be glad that those almight hands came by and waved over you, “WAKE UP MY DEAR” CAUSE HE COULD HAVE SAID 
SLEEP ON :smh:

There are ALOT of resources out there for women (and men) who are being abused. But somehow all of those resources go to the Boonquishas and Delanishas of the world who keep going back to their baby daddys and boyfriends after they repeatedly stomp a Mississippi mud hole in their azz. Im over it. If you want to defend your abuser while the world is trying to defend you so be it.

Well
Columbus has the right to express himself. Hopefully he is moving in the right direction. I didn’t see his post. My minimize game in on a zillion taday. Janay has been with that man since high school? I think. Sadly even if there wasn’t any of the domestic violence she seems like she would still stay because she operates with the mindset I was here first and I am not going to let anybody else have my spot. I say that because she seems broken and lost as if all she knows is him. And that might be all she knows. Right now she doesn’t have the strength to leave. She might not ever have it. I know she has things to work on also but I don’t see them like Stevie and Jose. Both doing drugs and beating on one another. I think she might try to buck and fight back occasionally… but I am willing to bet 9/10 he always has the upper hand and controls everything.
I got other people to pray fo 
BUT what I do know is that the ONLY way they can ever make it would be if he changes. He wants to do better. I have to think that it is possible because if I didn’t then to me that is not believing that God can save and heal all things…… but I ain’t wasting my faith on Ray
I want to call her a simple bish so bad, but I can’t. She is a victim. And I hear y’all, its not easy to just walk away. But shyt, she mad at everyone else, but miss, we are mad because you could of lost your life! For nothing!!! You deserve better!!!! We value you, even if right now you can’t.
On topic: People accept the love they believe they deserve!!!
When she believe she deserves better… I hope she has a chance to leave.
I understand those that’s been through telling their story… but nigga you 2 weeks off a fresh beating yourself. You got to have some time in your sobriety before you can lead group therapy. Otherwise your sweaty ass sitting there jonesing like the rest of us…. or at least that’s how it’s perceived.

Sometimes the best people to tell the stories are the ones that has been there and done that.
We all will answer for what we do… I believe in forgiveness. It is up to her to decide.
I would not want to be in a violent relationship. I know myself worth and what I deserve… certain things I do not compromise on.
Mrs. Rice turn this ish into Lemonade yo!
You may be have the bread winner now
Too soon oh 
You got to have some time in your sobriety before you can lead group therapy.

@OTB all of what you say is true. But I dont think people wanna hear chit out of Columbus mouff right now. There hasnt been enough time passed. You need to wait at least 2 months. Then maybe just maybe folks MAY want to hear words coming out your piehole but right now its too soon. Chit he aint even out of his own trouble yet.
Off topic:
Anybody watch LHHATL or ex wives of Atl last night? Steebie seem like he might be a battered husband…..

A wife beater condemning the acts of another wife beater? That’s irony. Rice and his battered wife may truly be screwed. The NFL does not owe him any more money. If he did not save and invest what he has already made, he may have woken up broke this morning. Sad. I don’t think he should be suspended forever. He did something terrible but maybe he can turn the situation around and improve himself. If they let Vick back in……
*talking with food in mouth* SHoulda left her downstairs
My forever teacher… How are you principal? And our brain surgeon…?
Hi butter chocolate cup… how are you and little butter ball?
Question yall? Would call feel the same way if he was caught on camera abusing her verbally/emotionally?

He is NOT the only one.
Although they did blackball Chad Johnson’s azz. Nigga sitting in Florida talking to dolphins on the regular and taking selfies.
This is so true though! However Chad was a fame whore and it seemed like he became more focused on being on Basketball wives with Evelyn and their new show they had together. I think he got addicted to the fame and it all went down hill from there. Meanwhile, Evelyn is laid up with her rich baseball player and their new baby like

Carrington says:
Even if they initially made an attempt to give him the benefit of the doubt and cover for him with the hope that this tape would never get out – the fact that it did created an entirely different set of public relations issues for the team and the league and at that point, Ray Rice became more trouble than he was worth.
__________________________________
You cant convince me that Goddell didnt KNOW the full extent of Rice’s on-tape actions. However, i do believe that he had not SEEN the full tape because league counsel made sure he hadn’t SEEN it so that he could always SAY (even under oath) that he’d never SEEN it.
I pray Janay finds the strength to do what’s best for her, and maybe, just maybe, this is a real arse wake-up call for Ray, and he’ll finally get some real help. What I’m real curious to know is what the league is gonna do when the next case presents itself ’cause like i said, HE AINT THE ONLY ONE in the league with this problem.
Bye taken and dtts!! Taken for saying she can’t waste her faith on Ray and taken for saying old girl gonna have a charlie brown lemonade stand to pay the bills.
@taken I have told people I have zero spare prayers for them. My momma said I’m hateful.
Thought she was going to saying I felt like I got knocked out all over again.

I am not wishing death on her. Statistically she should have been dead. Full stop.
A blow to the head like that. That’s what I meant and all I meant.
<—will not lose an ounce of sleep of this soon-to-be former millionaire
Nope, not the way my brain's set up…
THIS is all about money, and IMB no one Employee should have the power to bring a company down. So get rid of him
They should have given him more time off, OR just bought the damn tape.
I personally
Me speaking for myself 
Like to get advice or input from people who have actually faced obstacles or been through something. People that act all rosy and like they have never had a problem scare me. You not of God 
Now that doesn’t mean walk around with your butt on yo shoulders swing at air like Cuba Gooding. But I mean act like you are perfect or cannot relate to anything that someone is going through. Always saying you blessed and highly favored as an answer to everything. HOE STAWP IT.
Shoot my mama be knowing! For all the 
people give Steve Harvey I can and will say on some things he is right when it comes to telling you about a man. If a man respects and loves you then he does treat you a certain way. As a “reformed” dog he can speak on THAT one lil point.
I don’t ask for martial advice hardly ever but if I receive it or do inquire I ask someone who has been in it longer that me because 9/10 they have experienced something that I haven’t. I even listen to divorced people because they can tell me what not to do
My last comment downstairs was dont save huh she not ready to be saved. Not that she cant be. She doesnt want to be YET. God bless her. Hopefully she will change her mind before its too late. My uncle (my dad youngest brother) been beating his wife AYS my whole entire life. I aint talking like they get into it
+ 
No. He has a bad day at work, go home and wear her azz out. 
She can leave today if she want to. My last cousin left home 15 years ago. My sister was like auntie get in this car and lets go back to NC, the last time we was down there. She all like who gonna cook for your uncle? 
Heffa let his azz choke on his spit tonight. And HE my BLOOD.
They didnt blackball Andre Rison after he beat up Left Eye…
These behaviours are not sudden actions… They are learnt behaviours that have manifested to the stages they are at now.
These things come from childhood… probably in the womb for some.
We all are not built the same or with the same materials. Be thankful for what you have and the lessons you have learnt. Its either harder or easiier for the next.
Sooooo fighting dogs and knocking a woman out (with no sign of remorse at that) are similar to you?
You white?
He for real into them dolphins though

Someone in the “front office: of the NFL saw this tape. if the power that be said look we don’t want to know.
The NFL IS A BILLION Dollar company that operates behind the scenes. They go into action when they need to.
. So make an example out of him while putting her further in danger? That is a good idea?

not until she can see what she’s looking at

Honycoatd, All is well!

Nakeya, I was moreso thinking that she could become a spokeperson etc, but
but no, I wouldnt pay them nig nogs a dam thing even if I hadnt babysat. thats exactly what family is for. I would make them a plate to eat and fix them a big glass of good juice with ice in it and tell them thank you.
thats all tho, I wouldnt pay family to BE family. fugg outta here.
Question yall? Would call feel the same way if he was caught on camera abusing her verbally/emotionally?
I don’t do well with any type of abuse. When people start raising their voices or talking crazy, I immediately shut down. *Insert blank stare here*

Pay family to move furniture? :confused:
My neighbor down the street eight houses and farms over will move that chit for free.
I guess these the same kind of ppl who don’t save those who don’t wanna be saved tho.

– – – – – – –
I have to be honest and say, “no”…. not that one is better than the other, but I would feel like it’s “easier”, at least I’d like to THINK that it’s easier, to pull yourself up and walk away from someone SPEAKING to you disrespectfully than it is to walk away from someone beating you into submission.
Maybe my thought process is based upon the fact that I don’t deal with disrespect well. The way you approach me makes all the difference in the world. I’ve been told that I “scare” people when I get angry, but until someone video tapes me, I’ll take it that they’re “overreacting” to my stern, in no uncertain terms.
and you should make them read Aint I a Woman by Sojourner Truth too or at least explain the jist of it to them. treat a woman like a woman. I think a lot of times ppl forget that a “strong black woman” is a woman. you are 8 months pregnant, they should be falling over to ask you if you need help. you shouldnt even have to ask.
I go crazy if my daughter has to ask my son for something. as soon as he get something he is SUPPOSED to ask her if she wants or needs any too.
I wouldnt pay family to BE family. fugg outta here.

Nakeya, get a couple of your girls AND SOME SHEETS!
You can move furniture around if you catch the sheets up on the edges(kinda get it under a little), and then just pull the sheets.
I’ve moved alot of ish around
This takes folks away from the MIKE BROWN situation!
============
If you want to defend your abuser while the world is trying to defend you so be it.
____________________________________
but maybe she’s doing exactly that because “the world” don’t have to go home to/with him
as someone (Sassy?) said previously on another topic, it may be “learned behavior” 
I don’t know how long these two have been together, but over time an abuser not only becomes more physically aggressive, but also (and is some cases, firstly) begins to psychologically tear down their victim. maybe he’s convinced her that it’s her fault that he’s in this predicament 
if so, she, in true victim mode, has to find a way to pass the blame, and let’s face it, she’s not gonna blame him, so who does she blame? “yall” interfered … “yall” got him in trouble… “yall” ruining OUR life… it’s sad, but right now, maybe she sees that as her only option.
@butter the next time he needs anything that’s not an emergency the answer is no. Period.
@ddts my soon to be husband said he is gonna do it. But while he was at work I figured let me get the ball rolling and be productive. Smdh. And it was only one thing. Ugh
as soon as he get something he is SUPPOSED to ask her if she wants or needs any too.
You’re teaching him to be such a gentleman.

ok then I’ll ask, why Juliana’s deddy cant do it?

Abusers don’t start out that way. They are extremely nice “typically” they go in hard.
In this case….
They treat you well in the beginning (in your fugged up mind, you focus on the good and say I can love them through this)
In this case….
Separated from immediate family
Paid her way through college
Bought her nice whip, clothes, jewelry, trips…
They had a baby before they were married (then your survival mode kicks in) one thinks they need to stay for baby…..
@user he has been putting everything together. My soon to be is very helpful. But I just don’t like waiting for shyt all the time. And he does a lot so I was trying to help.
