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.

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 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.
