[VIDEO] Mo’Nique Says There’s Beauty In Janay Rice Standing By Her Man

I’ve been there. There was a time when I wanted to say ‘domestic violence.’ There was a time I did say it. We would just fight…

Despite your opinion of the Ray Rice, Mo’Nique suggests we all practice compassion:

At what point do the men rally around this young man…Be held accountable, but let’s not rip them apart…We rip each other apart so much. In our worst moment, we would want empathy…Hopefully what we will get is compassion.

See Mo’Nique’s full interview.

    That’s sweet & all but really….

    Yeah, its Janay’s life and if that’s what she chooses to do, she should at least do it with dignity.

    -Stand by your man “as you both admit there is a problem & you both seek help”
    -Don’t take the blame or make excuses for him.
    -Be an example for other women who may be in this situation and who are abuse victims.
    -Be an advocate.
    -More importantly, love yourself enough so your child doesn’t wind up like you

    Like Mo says, she’s been there and she sounds like a victim too. I don’t see any beauty in that at all. He had no compassion for her when he did what he did, that’s for sure.

    This isn’t beauty. It is battered-woman’s syndrome. I love how women are expected to stand by their man no matter what he does. And it is even more disheartening that a woman (Monique) is playing into that idea. Do you know how many women feel the burden of tearing apart their homes if they leave the abuser? But we have people reinforcing the stand by your man logic, instead of saying if she wants help to please leave and get it. SMH Women you don’t get a badge of honor for standing by a man who isn’t treating you well. Please stop falling for that trap. So annoying.

      So true,And Mo needs to be careful when she makes statements like that.A confused battered woman can read this and take away the wrong meaning.There is nothing beautiful about staying in a dysfuctional relationship.
