In the wake of the Ray Rice scandal and other similar instances which have garnered national media attention, Nene shared intimate details about her own experiences, speaking candidly about an abusive relationship she was once involved in.

He hit me. He sexually abused me. We physically fought.

Leakes goes on to explain how her strength comes from the fact that she’s experienced such a harsh past.

I can stand in a test, in a fight, in a war, and just be standing here and don’t even move because I’ve been through so many things.

Sometimes as women we allow so many people to change who we are inside. I’m trying to learn to soften myself a little bit… but I’m still not going to be sugarcoating nothing.

NEWSFLASH! Ray Rice Cut From Baltimore Ravens After Full ‘Elevator Knockout’ Footage Revealed… [VIDEO]

Sep, 8 2014 | Written by ATLien

Disturbing new footage of NFL baller Ray Rice punching his then fiance’/now wife in an Atlantic City elevator has been revealed.

The new clip shows the full February 15, 2014 confrontation that occurred between the Baltimore Ravens running back and his then-fiancee, Janay Rice (formerly Janay Palmer).

In the footage, the pair can be seen entering the elevator and are in what appears to be a heated argument.

Ray Rice initiates contact and Janay Rice strikes back, only to be hit with a devastating punch that leaves her unconscious. Rice then drags her limp body out of the elevator, which is where the previously released footage picks up.

The NFL had originally suspended Rice from playing in the first two games of the season, but after the full video surfaced, they chose a different route and it appears he will be ‘suspended indefinitely’ from the team.
