Gabrielle Union give Rihanna credit for her video…
After all of the heat that Rihanna has been getting this week someone finally applauds her for her music video, “Man Down”… Even though I feel that America should be applauding Rihanna all at the same time for being so brave and talking about something that affects all people, Gabrielle Union speaking on the video shows that all people go through the same things…
While in Washington DC. this past weekend, Union attended the National Advisory Committee of Violence Against Women… She spoke about her rape, as she has many times before but one fact that many of us didn’t know is that she tried to shoot her rapist, as Rihanna had acted out in her music video. She stated that she was glad that the bullets didn’t hit her rapist because it would have “added insult to injury…”
I am glad that Union and Rihanna both decided to come out and talk about this issue, being that it is a real issue that happens to real people… My hat goes off to both of these ladies for being so brave…
