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.

Janay Rice, the wife of the embattled ball player, was featured in the video being knocked unconscious by her then-future husband, but that didn’t stop her from marrying him.

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.

Had it not been for an Austin resident sharing a picture of the disturbing sign on Facebook and Instagram, we may have never known about the sign, but one did… and the post grabbed national attention.
I walked by the sign on Friday night, and my first response was just anger
I currently am a volunteer at the women’s shelter in Austin, so my sensitivity is extra high, but I think my reaction would have been the same regardless. Not only was it offensive, but it was also just bad humor.
Minibar removed the sign the following morning and fired the employee responsible for posting the sign. They also posted another sign to correct the situation. Continue Reading…
