The media did not destroy a family... Ray Rice did, the moment he decided the best course of action to resolve the situation was to punch his soon-to-be wife in the face.
I mentioned on Facebook, she is practically a textbook case of someone who is abused. Letting them 'sort out their problems' may result in her death (or his if she decides she is tired of being abused). The biggest red flag is that she has blamed every one, including herself, except for the person who the the punch. Do yourself a favor and go on Twitter and search for #WhyIStayed to get a glimpse of what some victims of abuse go through and what their state of mind is/was.
