sorry, that's bs. his celeb status and wanting to keep it isn't some deterrent and how many times must it be said, 'you' don't know someone, even those close to you, behind closed doors regardless of status, outward appearance , or demeanor. his legendary status and fear of tainting it didn't stop james brown from choking a chick
jokes are jokes, no probs. joking is good
but sayin' people are only caring because she's a celeb when woman's group's, social groups, and others are always tryin' to bring it up. all the psa's, afterschool specials, shows/films with messages, etc trying to inform young chicks about not accepting abuse has been out there so much.
people are fucked up, rich, poor, men, women, so common sense like leave a dude hitting you that ain't love, or leave that chick, she ain't the only one that can respect you, if you must spank a kid but don't damn near beat a child verbally, physically, etc is filtered by the effed up parts, usually established from childhood.
