in it, and not she's not. People are saying that
she's not innocent of this whole thing. She was complicit
with a lot of Once you understand what abuse really is, yes,
and the magnitude to what it goes to that right there, man,

(02:08):
can be understood and psychologically reasona way, I don't know
the word for it, but they have studied this long
enough to know the mindset that can cause this type
of behavior in a person.

Speaker 3 (02:21):
Yes, and if she did.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
Have moments of compliance or whatever you want to call it,
there's enough of the other stuff, thank you, that offsets

her husband had to hear it, her mother. I mean,
come on, this is this is really really something. But
you're right, Steve, An abuse a lot of times, you know,
the woman will feel like she made the man hit
her or beat her or abuse her. You know, that's

(03:01):

The same thing has happened to hundreds of thousands of
women who ain't famous.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
Yes, it happens every day, yeah, every single Yeah.

Speaker 5 (03:27):

Can you see it?

Speaker 5 (03:32):
Can you tell when somebody's going through something or they
are they hiding?

Speaker 4 (03:36):
Women mask it and make I mean see Tina Turner was.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
On stage right with a black eyes that covered in makeup. Yeah,
but sometimes you can if the way they talk to
talk to their spouse in public. You know, sometimes it
can be kind of harsh. You know, you can hear black.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
Yeah, right now, what I can't do at no stage,
even before I was famous, I can't see a man
physically beating a woman and not intervene.

Speaker 3 (04:07):
Oh yeah, I cannot say.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
I stopped the dude in a parking lot and it
came out one time and he said, hey, man, mind
your business. I said, bro, I can't let you do that.
I can't let you. And I was, I was like
twenty six years old.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
In your time. In growing up in your era and
our era, men were taught not to put their hands
on a woman.

Speaker 3 (04:30):
Period.

Now it happened, Yeah, it happened, but we couldn't see
it and sit there and go, okay, yeah that ain't
my business.

not put your hands on a man.

little girl.

got to say it because they weren't taught that.

their men.

cowardice thing.

To do to me. Yes, to jump on a woman?
Oh dog, really man, if you all that bad? But
you know what I've learned over my lifetime, most men
who are abusive to women, they a't not the same
way towards men.
