USA Today: Rousey shouldn't get a pass on DV

Story here. Excerpt:

'Domestic abuse is a vicious and violent crime that can never be tolerated, no matter the circumstances or the person committing it.

That includes Ronda Rousey.

The MMA star has largely gotten a pass for a violent encounter with an ex-boyfriend that she recounted in her autobiography published earlier this year. The incident occurred after Rousey confronted the ex-boyfriend, who she identifies only as “Snappers McCreepy,” about nude photos he’d taken of her, photos she worried would be leaked to the public just as her career was taking off.

“I slapped him across the face so hard my hand hurt,” Rousey wrote.

The ex-boyfriend doesn’t respond physically, but he blocks the door and refuses to move when Rousey tries to leave.

“I punched him in the face with a straight right, then a left hook. He staggered back and fell against the door,” Rousey wrote. “… I slapped him with my right hand. He still wouldn’t move. Then I grabbed him by the neck of his hoodie, kneed him in the face and tossed him aside on the kitchen floor.”'
