Janay Rice, the wife of former Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice, posted a statement on Instagram. In it, she talks about the horrible nightmare that Monday and Tuesday have been and how she feels like Rices release from the Ravens and NFL suspension have left her as if shes mourning the death of a friend. Heres the full statement (her Instagram profile is private, but the Baltimore Sun has confirmed that the statement was intended to be made public): I woke up this morning feeling like I had a horrible nightmare, feeling like Im mourning the death of my closest friend. But to have to accept the fact that its 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 dont you all get. If your intentions were to hurt us, embarrass us, make us feel alone, take all happiness away, youve succeeded on so many levels. Just know we will continue to grow & show the world what real love is! Ravensnation we love you! Later, Rice spoke with ESPNs Josina Anderson for the first-known public statement from him after his release and suspension. Rice said: I have to be strong for my wife. She is so strong. We are in good spirits. We have a lot of people praying for us, and well continue to support each other. I have to be there for [Janay] and my family and right now work through this. Then Rice handed the phone to his wife, who told Anderson: I love my husband. I support him. I want people to respect our privacy in this matter. Clearly, Palmer is in her husbands corner, doesnt want to relive the February assault and believes that the media and NFL have handled Rices case poorly. She and her husband are facing the reality that Rices football career is likely over at this point. Shes also assuming that people are trying to hurt us, embarrass us, make us feel alone, take all happiness away in light of watching the extended portion of the video. But she finishes her message with love for Ravens fans, and if Rice is to be believed, he is putting his family first — an important step, one would think, in this trying time for the Rices.
