Ray Rice Beat Up His Fiancee
Ew, domestic violence. There has been some horrid footage released of Ray Rice punching his then-fiancee and he knocked her out cold with one punch. The footage was captured in the elevator of the Revel Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City. Janay Palmer was knocked off her feet and both of them were arrested on assault charges following the altercation. The NFL followed the incident with a statement to insist that the league hadn’t seen the video until it was leaked. They claim to have asked law enforcement for all the information and yet the NFL waited for evidence before suspending Rice.
Rice dragged Palmer unconscious out of the elevator after the incident and after the NFL suspended Rice for two games, the league got immediate backlash for not acting sooner or offering harsher punishments.
