• Janay Palmer Tries Downplaying Being Knocked Out by Ray Rice in Matt Lauer Interview

    Janay Palmer has spent the last few months basically hiding out, not allowing the general public to have much more than a slight glimpse into her personal life, and who can blame her? After that now-infamous elevator surveillance video went public, showing her now-husband Ray Rice knocking her out with one punch, it was a real turning point in her life. Palmer chose quite quickly to stand by her husband and support him, even going so far as to lambaste the NFL for punishing Rice for his violent actions. It was pretty clear Palmer was taking the "stand by your man" approach to the whole scandal and, in doing so, she kept her silence for the most part. At least until NBC's "Today" managed to grab the first official interview with her. Make no mistake, it is actually Rice that NBC wants to hear from, and while he never signed on the dotted line with the network, he was there when Matt Lauer sat down with Palmer in the couple's Maryland home late last week. How much he actually said is still unknown, but Lauer appeared happy with the outcome of the chat.
  • Police Search for Carlesha Freeland-Gaither Abduction in Philadelphia Sunday Night Captured on Film

    Perhaps the most disturbing thing that many of us will see this week is the video of 22-year-old Carlesha Freeland-Gaither being abducted while walking on West Coulter Street a few blocks from her Germantown, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, home. At about 9:40 p.m. Sunday night, Nov. 2, nearby surveillance video caught Freeland-Gaither being snatched from the sidewalk and then dragged down the block kicking and screaming until she was thrown into the backseat of a dark, four-door car. Her abduction was captured on film, and police are searching for her. According to the (New York) "Daily News," a nearby witness heard Freeland-Gaither screaming for help and she was able to kick out the rear driver's and passenger side windows before the car sped off. Authorities believe the suspect was likely driving a dark gray Ford Taurus with Pennsylvania plates. The vehicle was missing inspection stickers and there was an unknown item on the bottom center of the front windshield.
