Yesterday Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice and his wife Janay Palmer held a joint press conference to express their regrets about the violent altercation that occurred at a casino in Atlantic City, N.J. The incident left Palmer unconscious on video and Rice charged with assault. Rice expressed regret as he apologized in front of the media. It’s still unclear what led to the incident but though Palmer was viewed as the victim, she expressed remorse for the role she played in the altercation.
“I do deeply regret the role that I played in the incident that night,” Janay Rice said. Janay didn’t elaborate on the role she played, although a February court summons stated that she tried to hit her husband, who then knocked her unconscious.
Janay’s apology didn’t play well with the media and spectators who felt like she was apologizing for her abuser. The two are still working on their relationship and in fact got married one day after Rice was indicted on a third-degree aggravated-assault charge.
“I can say that I am happy that we continue to work through it together, and we are continuing to strengthen our relationship and our marriage and working to being better parents for Ravyn and continuing to be role models,” Janay Rice said.
