We’ve heard from Ray Rice, we’ve heard from the Ravens, we’ve heard from the NFL — and now we’re hearing from the victim in all of this, Janay Rice. She released a statement this morning on her Instagram account.
From the Baltimore Sun:
“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 of 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!”
I don’t know what she’s going through. I don’t know the pain she’s feeling. I don’t know what’s going on inside her head. I sincerely hope she doesn’t have to endure much more of this.
