Janay Rice, the wife of disgraced ex-Baltimore Ravens player Ray Rice, recently slammed the media for demonizing her husband.
On Monday Rice, 27, was dropped by the Ravens and suspended indefinitely by the NFL after a graphic new video of his assault on Janay surfaced online.
On Feb. 15, Rice and his then fiancée were embroiled in a physical altercation at Revel Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Initially footage of the incident did not show the entire fight, however, on Monday TMZ.com released an extended video which showed Rice knocking her out unconscious inside of an elevator and going on to kick her limp body.
Janay, who went on to marry him after the assault, urged the public to leave them alone. The couple share a 3-year-old daughter.
“I woke up this morning feeling like I had a horrible nightmare, feeling like I’m mourning the death of my closest friend,” she wrote on Instagram on Tuesday.

Janay Rice reportedly posted this message on Instagram
“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,” she continued. “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.”
