(11/27/2010) Will Smith, New Orleans Saints defensive end was arrested shortly after 2 a.m. in the 300 block of Jefferson Street after police officers observed him arguing with his wife, the former Racquel R. Smith. They have only been married for 2 years. Smith allegedly took hold of her hair and began pulling her down the street. Racquel Smith received only minor injuries, the news release said. Smith, 29, who lives in Kenner, was booked into the Lafayette Parish Correctional Center and released on $1,000 bond. I guess his wife is in denial or doing an image cleansing because she posted then removed this tweet “it was a huge misunderstanding.” She even tweeted, “We are a strong couple. Love conquers all and that’s what we have. It’s just so sad that he is in the public eye and everything is magnified. I love you @iwillsmith! Please who dat fans support our family through this time. Girl stop right now! This makes my weave tracks come loose…. I don’t condone domestic abuse of kids, women, or men. What are your thoughts?

They most definitely need our prayers.
This is what makes my stomach turn. I really hate to hear and see most women protecting their abusive men. Where were their men when they needed protection? Smh. It sickens me that women have so much power, but still do not know how to put it to good use. Women are givers. We give soooo much of our emotional energy away and it affects our ability to use our heads. Some women protect their abusive men because of security reasons or they’re afraid of being alone. Once again, there’s that power. We have the power to walk away from someone who does not respect and love us. We have the power to recognize it early on and set the tone. We even have the power to tell our men when they are wrong, help them fix the problem and have a successful relationship/marriage, if the man is willing. “You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make him drink it.” A man needs a woman to be able to tell him what’s wrong as well as whats’ right. A man only does what a woman allows. If we (women) set the tone early in the relationship, trust me, he will have no choice but to come correct or STEP OFF! Women stand up!!!
