“A ‘Fox & Friends’ segment Monday morning on the video of running back Ray Rice knocking unconscious his then-fiancée inside a casino elevator took a bizarre twist when the hosts made light of the incident with a series of tasteless jokes.
After reading serious tweets and emails sent from viewers, the Fox News hosts, Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade, segued into other celebrity-involved incidents of domestic violence. The men condemned both Rice’s now-wife, Janay Palmer, and singer Rihanna for ‘sending a terrible message’ by staying with men who had abused them.
And the men, sitting on either side of co-host Anna Kooiman, then discussed the Solange and Jay Z incident also caught on camera in an elevator.
‘I think the message is, take the stairs,’ Kilmeade jokes as Kooiman lets out an uncomfortable chuckle.” *
