Married to NFL player Ray Rice, Janay Palmer is one of the celebrity girlfriends turned wife of a famous footballer. Her relationship with Ray Rice and their eventual scandal put her and her life completely out in the open as a result of the videos which leaked leading to said scandals. As at the time of the scandal, she was still the fiancé to Ray Rice.

She is listed as one of the top trending and famous celebrities whose rise to fame wasn’t one which is really pleasant to tell.

Brief Biography Of Janay Palmer

The American was born on the 14th of January 1988 in New Rochelle, New York, United States of America. She was born ‘Janay Ashley Palmer’ to the family of Danyette Palmer and Joseph Palmer. She described her dad as a very soft-spoken, strong man and she was very close to her family.

She has a sister named Taylor Palmer who used to play basketball in West Virginia. Janay attended Townson University which she initially visited with her mum and Ray Rice.

Here Are 10 Things About Janay Palmer You Want To Know

1. She Dated Ray From 2008

Janay met Ray when she was still 14 and he was 15 and the first time they met was at a local movie theatre in New Rochelle. However, they did not start dating until 2008 and their first date was at a cheesecake factory.  The couple dated for quite a while and even got engaged until Ray attacked her in an elevator of a hotel.

2. Janay Palmer Graduated In Grand Style

Upon her graduation from Townson University where she majored in communications, Janay got an engagement ring and a car from her boyfriend, the NFL’s Baltimore Ravens’ running back, Ray Rice.

3. She Eventually Married Ray

Janay got engaged to Ray in May 2012, few weeks after the elevator incident where she was assaulted by her fiance, Ray Rice. This incident led to Ray’s suspension and eventual dismissal from the NFL. He and Janay got married and now have two children together.

Janay said what transpired that night wasn’t going to change anything as she totally understood it was a mistake.

4. Janay Palmer Had A Child Before Her Marriage To Ray Rice

Due to the period of time the romance between the couple lasted, it’s no surprise that they made at least a baby before eventually tying the knot. Janay found out few weeks after Ray proposed to her that she was pregnant and she birthed their first daughter Rayven Rice before their marriage.

5. She Made Excuses For Her Husband Assaulting Her

In an interview where she sat with her husband and they recalled the incidents surrounding the assault and the leaked video, Janay stated that she didn’t think she was in an abusive relationship. She thought and felt that their arguments and the subsequent attack on her were normal ‘boyfriend and girlfriend’ things and that she only started seeing it as an assault after the video and news went viral and people made a fuss about it. She insisted that the elevator incident was the first time ever her fiancé had laid his hands on her.

6. Janay’s Loyalty To Her Husband Is Unwavering

Janay stated that she never thought of the option of leaving Ray because of the incident as she knew the person who attacked her wasn’t truly Ray and he was going through a rough time.

She reiterated that she had known him for about 15 years and she knew who he was and a one-off wasn’t going to chase her away from their relationship.

7. Janay Palmer Cries Out On Instagram

As more videos of her elevator attack by her then-fiancé now-husband surfaced, Janay took to her Instagram to cry out to all and sundry to forgo the taunts. She indicated her displeasure as she cited it to be a ploy to destroy their relationship and happiness. She blamed the media for all her pains and the haunt the news and videos bring to her and her family.

Her husband, however, tried to ignore it all saying it is taking a huge toll on his family and he has to be the strength they all need at the time. She said the assault was taken out of context and that is what hurts the most.

8. She Was Also Charged For Assault

She was also charged with ‘simple assault’ after the elevator incident. In the video which was released showing Ray hitting her, it was also evident that she hit Ray although lightly before he went all out on her.

She was made to apologize for that incident during a press conference put together by the Ravens. Her charges were dropped later owing to the fact that her assault was ‘simple/light’.

She said the trip to Atlantic City was an awkward one and although everything seemed to be alright when they eventually got to hang with Ray’s brother a few more friends and sharing drinks even with fans, they had bickering on their way to the casino’s restaurant and that was the beginning of the incident which resulted in the assault.

10. She Was Accused Of Theft in 2010
