Mo’ Nique Asks The Public To Forgive Ray Rice
Former Raven running back Ray Rice fell from the public’s grace after footage of him striking his girlfriend hit TMZ. While most people shunned Rice for the domestic violence incident, others came to his defensive–Academy Award winning actress Mo’Nique was among his supporters.
During an interview on “Good Day LA,” Mo’Nique argued that “every action that we do is forgivable” and spoke about the power of forgiveness.
“A lot of people are saying get rid of him,” she said. “It was horrible what he did and it was. It was tragic for us to see that happen to that young woman… there’s no excuse for that. On the other side of it, there’s the beauty in it because you see this woman saying I’m going to stand by my husband.”
Mo’Nique then differentiated domestic violence from singular physical incidents. “The world saw him at his worst moment…I’ve been there to have my worst moments. There was a time I wanted to say domestic violence. There was a time I did say it. But the truth was we would just fight. And if I would lose, now I’m gonna call the police it’s domestic violence. But if I won, we just had a fight.”
Ultimately, Mo’s message was, “We speak of religion, and we speak of forgiveness but the moment someone messes up we say throw them away and get rid of them…they have to face the world every day…”

In related NFL news, Carolina Panthers defensive end Greg Hardy has been deactivated because of a domestic violence incident stemming from an altercation where he allegedly “beat the living crap” out of his ex and threatened to kill her. Bet he thought he breezed by that one.
