I think it sends an even worse message to the guys who think that you can beat a woman and not only do you get away with it, but she'll come back to you. Shame on both of them.

It makes no difference whether they are movie stars, celebrities or common folks ... this treatment of women is just plain WRONG and CRIMINAL! I cannot believe her father is taking this so calmly! I certainly wouldn't with someone treating either of my two daughters this way. They both need to have their heads examined.
