Suspended NFL player Ray Rice's wife, Janay Palmer-Rice, is reportedly on the verge of coming forward to speak out on her now-infamous domestic violence case from last winter.
According to reports, Mrs. Rice has plans to sit down with “Today” show host Matt Lauer for the tell-all chat.
With cameras set up in her Maryland home, Janay Palmer — the woman Ray KO’d in the elevator back in February — invited over a local company that specializes in photo shoots to gussy her up. The company is called Franchon Parlour — and it does everything from wardrobe selection to hair extensions. (TMZ)

Despite the speculation, reports claim Ray Rice will be heavily involved in the segment.
It’s clear that Janay and Ray want it to look like the interview is all about Janay — but our NBC sources tell us Ray is the main reason they want this interview. And, our sources say Ray WILL be participating in some way even though his people say he is not yet committed. (TMZ)
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell stepped up to address the controversy surrounding him following an instant suspension of Rice in early September.
Embattled NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell apologized Friday for what he said was his mishandling of the Ray Rice domestic violence scandal but vowed “now I will get it right and will do whatever is necessary to accomplish that.” Speaking at a Manhattan new conference amid calls for his resignation, Goodell announced a sweeping policy to counter domestic abuse and sexual assault, mandating all players and staff on the league’s 32 teams undergo education and training about how to prevent abuse.

The suspended NFL player’s wife jumped onto her Instagram page in September to speak out.
“I woke up this morning feeling like I had a horrible nightmare, feeling like I’m mourning the death of my closest friend. But to have to accept the fact that it’s reality is a nightmare in itself. No one knows the pain that the media & unwanted options from the public has caused my family. To make us relive a moment in our lives that we regret everyday is a horrible thing. To take something away from the man I love that he has worked his a** off for all his life just to gain ratings is a horrific. THIS IS OUR LIFE! What don’t you all get. If your intentions were to hurt us, embarrass us, make us feel alone, take all happiness away, you’ve succeeded on so many levels. Just know we will continue to grow & show the world what real love is! Ravensnation we love!,” Mrs. Rice wrote September 9. (Janay Palmer-Rice’s Instagram)
