Ray Rice Says He Was 'Person I Hated The Most' While Being A Star

Former Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice and his wife, Janay, opened up about their relationship, football and domestic violence in a segment that aired on CBS This Morning on Tuesday, Dec. 18. Host Gayle King interviewed them at their home in Connecticut, where they moved after he was released from the Baltimore Ravens in 2014.

Rice's football career ended after videos showed him knocking out Janay, who was his fiancee at the time, and dragging her from an elevator at the Revel Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey, on Feb. 15, 2014.

"The pressure I was under of being a star, that was the person I hated the most," Ray Rice said.

The running back played for Baltimore from 2008 to 2014 and was part of the team during its Super Bowl win in 2013.

Janay Rice told CBS This Morning that she has never seen the videos of the 2014 assault.

"I was there. I lived it. I don't need to relive it," she said. "...that wasn't him in that moment," said Janay Rice, who has known Ray since she was 15 years old, when asked why she stayed in the relationship. "I knew that we had work to do, and I was willing to move forward and put in the work."
