What the Hell Gayle? Part Deux!

The other night View Co-Host Comic Joy Behar filled in on Larry King Live dispensing with any illusions that Larry would even know or care who Rhianna and Chris Brown are and talked about Domestic Violence.



Oh Goodie, Mista Jaycee!

Indeed!

And who were the guest panelists who we the viewers would have the pleasure to listen to?



Tell us now Mista Jaycee! Tell US!



The former Mrs. Michael Tyson, Robin Givens!



She was married to Mike Tyson? !!!!



Yep! Some would say She not Buster Douglas took Mike down. Some would say that!



And Miss Denise Brown!



Who?



Exactly! Well not really, she's Nicole Brown-Simpson's sister turned Domestic Violence Activist.

But the best part was clips from The Great Miss O and Ride or Die Partner in Crime Gayle King.


Oh-----to see the clip of Miss O "If he HITS you Once He WILL hit you AGAIN! played over and over and over and over and over again! PRICELESS!

Good Times! Oh, Yeah, Good Times!

Now to be fair Miss Givens was hit by Mike Tyson in the marriage. She has given interviews about it for years. Mike has not disputed it or sued her. But it's been twenty years since they were married? Twenty years! She has re-married and has children who had no idea that she had been married to Mike Tyson. Check her interviews. She confirms it.

So why Robin Givens? Could it be cause the public is sour on Mike? Could be or could it be something else?

Robin has a new book! OOOOOH! That's it! Robin has a new book to sell.

But that's unfair Mista Jaycee! That's so unfair!

Is it? Well, what has Robin done professionally recently?

Tyler Perry's House of Payne!

Yeah, but no major movies since Boomarang and Rage in Harlem no television shows other than Tyler's since she was woefully mis-casted to host Forgive and Forget after Mother Love was let go. No one exemplifies the spirit of Forgiveness like Robin Givens. Ok, that last part was a cheap shot. I know...funnie, yes, but cheap. I blame the recession.

So there is a credibility issue at stake. Miss O who has made her career off of all kind of people pain and misery who at least publicly has yet to offer aid to Rhianna and Chris.

Oh-----to see the clip of Miss O "If he HITS you Once He WILL hit you AGAIN! Played over and over and over and over and over again! PRICELESS!

Now let's talk about Denise Brown. Robin may be attempting to become a public advocate for Domestic Violence but Denise Brown has been active in keeping the issue at the forefront in recent years. But again, Denise Brown is not the best standard bearer for this issue just the most marketable.

Dare, I say it!

Dare! Dare!

Nicole Brown-Simpson is not the face of Domestic Violence and should not be it! Never! That would be a mistake! There is debate about her. That clouds the real issue. Was OJ a dick? Yeah, was Nicole using his money wisely? Was she letting anyone hang around her and OJ's kids? Was she partying? Was she letting anyone drive around in her car that OJ purchased for her? Was she rubbing his nose in it?

But she didn't deserve to die Mista Jaycee!

Nope! She didn't! But what if she was? What is she did rub his nose in it, spend his money willi nilli, party too hard, and lay up with anyone? Then was it unreasonable for him to be angry?

No!

But she's Dead Mista Jaycee!

Yes! but OJ was arrested, tried, aquitted, sued and villified in the press. HE was tried! HE was Aquitted of the murders! Domestic Violence may have been a factor but then again maybe not! Putting Nicole (RIP) as the face of Domestic Violence is an unfair, dangerous, mistake.

Where is the documentation of domestic violence in that case that LED TO the MURDER? There is none! OJ was AQUITTED OF the MURDERS. So there is no established connection in that case. Just like one can say OJ was a Dick and he hit her one can say she was killed for something else and it is just as valid.

But what about all the other cases where there is a real connection between domestic violence that leads to murder? Who's speaking for them? Who's drawing the line between an incident that just went bad and something that just IS bad?

Every domestic violence case is NOT OJ and Nicole Or Tina and Ike but the perception that domestic violence is OJ/Nicole or IKE and TINA should not be promoted. Again, we need to be careful in what we call Domestic Violence so it does NOT become a GENERIC LABEL.

It's dangerous when someone like Chris Brown who allegedly hit his girlfriend (which may have only occurred once) is compared to a known serial abuser. The two are not the same. It's irresponsible to vilify this kid in the press Oprah! It's wrong Gayle! Are you gonna ruin every one's rep or are you gonna be selective? Did you make Amy Winehouse the face of Drug Abuse? Was she vilified?

Oh-----to see the clip of Miss O "If he HITS you Once He WILL hit you AGAIN! Played over and over and over and over and over again! PRICELESS!

So if someone makes a mistake or does something despicable they should never be allowed to reconcile and be forgiven huh? That's your message?

Or is it be real and be cautious and protect your health it may save your life? Just asking!

Jack and Jill had an argument. Jill called Jack a Lil D*ick Clown!
Jack says Eff You and Your Mama!
Jill spits on Jack and scratches him across the face. Jack slaps the living ish out her and she falls down!

The next day Jack moves to his buddies sofa, cleans the scratches with bactine and a few days later they talk and sometimes they forgive and move on. That was an argument were BOTH parties were wrong! BOTH!

Now if Jack forbade Jill from talking to her friends and physically and or verbally abused her then that's closer to Domestic Violence. One is an incident the other is a pattern. Just cause it can potentially become a pattern does not mean that it will.

Don't believe me...Ever mooned anyone? Ever had too much to drink and say something that you regretted? Did it become a pattern? Maybe it did and maybe it could have become one, dig?

We need to deal with Domestic violence but in dealing with it we must distinguish between an tragic incident and a real pattern and deal out punishment fairly.

BE Prayerful! BE Careful! BE Mindful!
