Why do celebrities and victims of domestic violence like Rihanna continue to glamorize abuse?
Why is the media making domestic violence sexy? Because we are letting them. They’re using the pictures of a leather-clad Rihanna bumping and grinding on stage, not the pictures where her face is torn up and bruised.

"After a traumatic event, how you see things changes. Quite literally.
When you survive domestic violence, you often aren't allowed this fact of life. Recognizing or acknowledging to others how you've been affected by the trauma(s) is a "luxury" you can't afford because the perceptions & projections -- along with observable deeds and actual words of other people already accuse you of not getting over things and moving on with your life. This leads you, a very fragile you who already is fearful of so many things -- including trusting yourself, to keep your mouth shut.
