Watching these clips has made me realise how lucky I was to get out of my past relationships. I was neglected and lied to in the first and controlled emotionally/psychologically in the next. Had I stayed in either of those relationships, I wouldn't have been around to tell you this
Wow! Dominique's mom got the JUICE! I'm also very happy and proud the Dominique, Marvina, Jaslene, and Kimberly were able to share there stories. I wish them all the best.
+Judith O. If a woman wants to act like a man she should be treated like a man. If a woman attacks a man he should have the right to defend himself. Just because a woman has a slit between her legs she's allowed to go around punching people? Before you go saying men are stronger than women... it depends on the person. My mother beat the shit out of three male cops when we were kids it was horrifying. A man would have needed physical defense against her she was an animal.
I always wanted to put my story out there so people could know they are not alone. Hopefully one day being able to help them as well. I went through more than I should have before turning 18, but I'm still here because my kids gave me reason.
i was abused physically an mentally for almost four years, from being talked to like a dog, to being spit on, to being punched, to kicked, to dragged to being punished like a two year old the thought is terryfing an no matter how much you truelly love them it will never get better it only gets worse my best advice is please get out while you can each of us have so much to live for an we deserve the best god bless!🙏
Im 36 and I was abused by my bf from 19-23. I was dragged by my hair up the stairs on my Birthday 😢. That day I woke up thinking "hey its my birthday, maybe ill get something special" only to have my bf abuse me and drag me all around the house and beat me. Fuck men to this day.
Omg the last girl made me so sad :( god I couldn't even imagine not only my mom but your lover committing suicide ... Damn I would just crack so hard :/ fuck poor girl:(
The emotional abuse is the biggest part of an abusive relationship, physical abuse is the next step. The emotional scars and traumatic stress lasts longer and deeper than the physical.
Why can’t everybody just them call out as the narcissists instead of saying an abuser !! A lot of people don’t know the real meaning of a narcissist and go through all this .
I'm bipolar... I don't know how my family deals with me.... but i'm a lot better than I used to be. I've been on meds and in therapy for 4 or 5 years now. But bipolar never goes away it's an everyday battle so I know what it's like.. But I know i'm a lot better now.
Lol I belive u since u stalk me 24/7 all those troll accounts youre using. Got over 300messages from your dumb ass. Why are u obsessed with me? I thought u hate black folks and youre black. Go away oh and I never read what u write back I just clear the inbox once its half full.
Dominique. Your story really echos mine. I moved in with my partner and became pregnant. That's when the physical and mental abuse started. I remember instinctively trying to protect my baby when he beat me and a total feeling of loneliness and having nowhere to go. When my daughter was born it continued, he would cause an argument so he could storm off to the pub and get drunk. One time he lost his temper and grabbed both my hands and snapped all my fingers saying "I'm off out see how well you manage without me now." Imagine trying to change a nappy, hold a newborn etc. When your hands wont 'work.' I got out eventually, when my daughter was 3 years old, I didn't want her growing up and thinking this was normal and history repeating itself. It still affects me now. Not so much the physical abuse but the mental, psychological and emotional abuse even though it's over 20 years ago now. How a man can beat a pregnant woman is disgusting.
ISBgreenAG I used to be like you. I would look at women I knew who were in violent relationships,and say they were stupid, and "If a man ever laid a hand on me I would be gone." Karma can sometimes be a bitch! I wasn't capable of leaving, he would lock me in the house when he went out, and take the phone. This was before mobile phones so I couldn't sneakily buy a pay as you go one. The windows only opened at the top about 4 inches. And there were no neighbours around either. As I said I did leave, I'm not 'atrocious' he never beat me up in front of my child, and as much as it pains me to say it, he was a good dad to her. She does not remember hearing anything or seeing any violence. She is now 22 and I have told her everything.
+michelle88960 That's amazing. Great job for leaving when you did. I hope you get enough therapy and support to get you through those times where memories start flooding your mind
+ISBgreenAG You need to be careful with what you say to people even if it's just a fucking RU-vid comment. And do some research on things before you go judging and putting someone down, your just as bad as the fucks that hurt women and children.
If I didn't know then what I know now I would have agreed with this comment,but I do in fact have knowledge on these types of cases to tell you what you are stating is totally senseless.Until you have actually gone through this yourself,it is not possible for you to comprehend.When a person is in an abusive relationship,it doesn't mean they don't love their partner.They usually do.The person who is being abused may feel as though they can't live without the other person.There is manipulation and all sorts of things bla bla bla my point is people who are being abused have to go through it a great number of times before they actually build up the strength to quit and walk away. Remember,who feels it knows it.
lol Tyra really? 16:55 How did you feel when you weren't truthfull to me? Lol, this show is about Domestic Abuse and once again she's making the show about her..
Typical Tyra. If Tyra knew anything about abuse and depression, is people lie to their friends and their family because they're ashamed and scared. Tyra doesn't realize that and wants it to be all about her. Narcissistic witch
+ambdance00 omg shes just saying how do you feel about being untruthful to me. because he was being untruthful so all of you people hating should just shut the fuck up
Agh Tyra is so condescending and emotionally abusive here... There is no reason at all for Jaslene to apologise to anyone, let alone to Tyra for secretly going back to her abusive partner, she was still being abused emotionally/psychologically by that dude.
Mary Lopez yeah i watch alot of teen mom og and jenelle's ex fiance nathan said it. Its a weird one lol but i hate when ppl make up words or say them wrong too.
Mary Lopez she's Mexican she can't help it! I know a loooot of Mexicans that haven't been here very long, and they don't know how to use "hurt" in the past tense, so they say "hurted ". It's annoying as fuck, but it's not their fault :P
Thanks Tyra, for forgiving a victim of domestic violence. Because that's what she needed. she needed YOUR forgiveness. **rolls eyes**. Tyra is so full of herself. And she's kinda weird having all these women come on a show to talk about their private moments....??
same. im fine with cool dudes who are funny and kind and who i know can just be cool mates. but i never like to be too friendly to those dudes who are like "you're hot, babe" and shit like that when they hardly even know you yet. you know from that moment, that they're not only or even truly complimenting you. they've just got thing one thing on their mind and they're foolishly hoping to make you their puppet
What's really disturbing and frustrating when I watch forums of women sharing their stories and struggles of abuse is how critical people can be on the outside looking in, especially in the comment section. It just shows me that people really don't understand or have enough empathy. This is why people are afraid to speak up or don't speak up until years later.
Why don’t ppl count beatings to the point you black out as a murder attempt? They could be in jail, idk I haven’t ever heard about it, do abusers go to jail? If not I think they should they are a danger to society and have the power to kill anytime something snaps inside, they really should be treated as mentally ill cause they are. the mother said this guy threatened to kill her and she reported it to the police “must’ve been 50 times”, why wasn’t he already arrested as an attempt murderer, What are you supposed to do, wait till he does it to finally put him away? That’s the same as your kid keeps trying to open your safe full of money and a sibling tells on them before they actually get to succeed, you don’t continue letting them have access to it, you lock the room it’s in until they’re mature enough to not do it.
Ive never seen this episode before, Jaslene was my favorite model to win ANTM. I remember being an elementary school girl and watching the show every wednesday night, rooting for her. I can't believe she was in an abusive relationship. I remember it was stated that she was rejected the year before but I didn't know it was for that reason. I have also been in an abusive relationship but luckily I got out and now I know better and never going back there again.
Studies have shown I guess, that when a child is emotionally abused that it is the most permanently damaging form of abuse, taking its toll well into adulthood. Also, what a lot of people don't know about dv, is that there are abusers who don't become abusive until a child starts to (pregnancy and/or birth) come into the picture, or marriage. In fact, a man can hide the fact that he is abusive for years. In addition, stats showed that men who were abusive were far more likely to pursue custody of a child against the mother in an aggressive manner, and unfortunately, they often end up with the child more than they should've been. This is due to the fact that they use children to bully the mother for setting boundaries, or trying to leave.
When I hear "I've been through a lot" it always feels like the people kinda want to show off and want you to feel sorry for them. It's hard for me to even tell a doctor something hurts me. Saying I've been through a lot to a total stranger just feels so weird. And I mean no offence but I personally have a big problem to tell even my friends how I really feel. I can't imagine I'd tell my secrets to complete strangers.
+Natalie P. I understand what you're saying. I never told anybody up until now, 20 years later. I am only now going to counselling to deal with it. My first appointment is at the end of this month, and I can say I'm not looking forward to it at all. It's like opening up and old wound and poking it. But I will see if it makes any difference, maybe it's too late now.
+michelle88960 I hope your appointment goes well. :) Hopefully it'll help you, I don't think it's ever too late to talk to someone and get help. Good luck!
+Natalie P. I am 22, and I have been through a lot also... But here is food for thought, and I Dont need your "Oh i feel sorry for you" etc.. But there comes a time when you have been through so much, where your experience as a person kinda reaches its limit and your like "Ok i am done with this... Speak up with it, get it out, let people know! (important people, i mind you.) That the only way to get over it, is to let it out... The biggest emotional thing about letting it out is a "emotional" spot because your exposing a weakness... thus this girl on the show is crying its because she feal exposed and weak. Its not to be misstaken with all the youtube comments that say "Oh i have been through this and this and this, feel sorry for me". :)
Thank you so much for upl this. Would it be possible for you to upload Kahlen-Rondots appearance on the Tyra show also? I believe it was this episode from season 1 called Top models reveal all. Than again :)
garyforeverxxx I know what you mean, I mean she doesn't have to be honest to Tyra if she doesn't want to, she doesn't owe her anything. The 'I forgive you' was quite condescending, as if Jaslene has wronged her for approaching her own situations however she feels the need to. She has the right to do that.
I’ve been in two domestic abuse relationships plz hope I don’t get judge but it’s okay. I’ve never loved myself; I was called retarded, a Down syndrome an ugly due to my bulgy eyes. I believed everything my kids dad told me but afterwards he was mean mean mean it’s to long to give my story but what I realise now even the most exquisite women or men can be abuse not only the unattractive people that some may think are not attractive. This made me cry jus remembering the sorrows I’ve dealt with
These comments are so ridiculous. Hitting a woman is wrong- hitting a man is wrong. Self defense is the only reason you should hit someone. If I , a woman, attack a man- he has EVERY RIGHT TO HIT ME and vice versa. And if a woman ever hits a man you should go to the police and vice versa. Its assault. It has nothing to do with 'being a man' it's being a good person. There is a comment that literally says "even if a woman attacks a man- he has no right to fight back" like??? That is ridiculous! And this is coming from the most insane feminist anti abuse woman out there. Hitting. People. Is. Wrong. It's. Illegal. Don't. Do. It. It is never the victims fault regardless of gender. And it's sad that male and female abuse isn't taken seriously.
If a woman hits a man, he should use minimum force necessary to defend himself. Because of most men being stronger than most women, that doesn't usually require hitting. You could just restrain someone a lot of the time. But no, no woman should be hitting a man either.
Ellie Blackhurst you are an extremely good feminist! this is what its all about fighting for each other everything you say is so true. It is one thing that really annoys me is people claiming that a man cant fight back if he is attacked which is rubbish. Women are not these sacred angels that can do no wrong if they attack the man their with they are an abuser and should suffer the same consequence as any man.
out of topic but hearing Jaslene talk I find it hard to understand her... (English is my second language) her accent is very heavy, it's odd to think that back in cycle 6 Danielle almost didn't win because of her accent when it was never mentioned for Jaslene and I think it's thicker.
I feel like if someone puts their hands on you you should hit them back because they shouldn’t ever hit you. Ever ever like that’s wrong. And this is sad stuff man.🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺😡😡😡
You're a piece of f***ing s***, you better hope your children don't go through that. Men like you are the reason why feminism exists in the first place.
