Ray Rice Breaks Silence
Ray Rice has broken his silence on the domestic violence story that has everyone talking.
The disgraced NFL star released a statement in the midst of the media frenzy surrounding leaked footage of him knocking his then-fiance unconscious in an Atlantic City elevator.
“I have to be strong for my wife,” he told ESPN. “She is so strong. We are in good spirits. We have a lot of people praying for us and we’ll continue to support each other. I have to be there for [Janay] and my family right now and work through this.”
Rice’s wife Janay released this statement yesterday:
“I woke up this morning feeling like I had a horrible nightmare, feeling like I’m mourning the death of my closest friend,” Janay Rice wrote. “But to have to accept the fact that it’s reality is a nightmare in itself. 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 off for all his life just to gain ratings is horrific. “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!”
Since the release of the disturbing video, Rice has been suspended indefinitely from the NFL a much stiffer punishment opposed the NFL’s original sentence where he was suspended for two games–a weak punishment that garnered much criticism. Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti apologized for the lackluster handling of the incident: “We did not do all we should have done and no amount of explanation can remedy that. What we can do now is share with you everything that occurred and vow to learn from all that has happened.”

An Official Statement About Tahiry’s NYFW Fight Is Released
We already told you about the fight that reality star Tahiry was involved in before Teyana Taylor’s fashion show at New York Fashion Week, and now official details have been leaked about what really went down during the fight. Tahiry was supposed to walk Teyana Taylor’s runway before she got into the fight, but, according to the PR statement, the scuffle was just as crazy as we initially thought. She also refused the help of paramedics.
“Tahiry arrived to the Helen Mills venue around 4pm, as she was going to model for Toure’s show, requesting not to enter where “the normal people” go. Her assistant was instructed that the normal people entrance is the only one available.
Once Tahiry arrived, she requested for all the models to be removed from the hair and makeup area so that her personal team could begin makeup for the show. The show manager’s assistant obliged her request and cleared out a few rows where the models where sitting to allow her private time. Tahiry continued to patronize the assistant using profanity. Her assistant and glam squad joined in on the berating.
The group moved their argument back upstairs and outside of the venue. A minor scuffle was heard but ignored because no yelling accompanied. Then someone yelled, “why are you fighting a woman?” I ran outside to find Tahiry on the ground, a watery substance everywhere, and the show producer’s assistant being jumped by Tahiry’s assistants.
I picked Tahiry up off the ground and her makeup artist attended to her. Her hair stylist was still fighting the assistant while myself and two male models broke up the fight. A witness outside said that once the argument moved outside, Tahiry continued using profanity, sexual orientation slurs and threw her drink in the show assistant’s face.
I moved Tahiry downstairs to a safe place and asked her what happened. Her response: “nothing.” I asked her if she was okay and she said yes. She had no scratches and denied the help of the paramedics, assuming she would go to jail for fighting. She and her staff left the premises and a report was given by our staff to the police.
As a result, the Teyana Taylor and Toure Designs show was cancelled and we had to move everything. The venue lost it’s hair and make up sponsor of 10 years and the assistant was relieved of his duties this season. Everyone lost. This was an insurmountable mishap, but I will not allow the events to be painted as some mean man beat her up.”
