Therapist: Janay Rice’s Statement is Classic “Battered Wife”
Rockville family therapist Olga Bloch says Janay Rice’s Instagram statement further proves the wife of the former Baltimore Raven is a victim of domestic violence. Bloch, who frequently counsels battered spouses, says Janay Rice is desperately trying to protect her family and her husband’s career by blaming the couple’s problems on the media, instead of dealing their abusive relationship directly. Rice broke her silence Tuesday, issuing her grim message in the wake of an explosive video on TMZ that showed her getting knocked out in an elevator by her now husband, Ray Rice.
