‘The View’ co-host led a discussion on intimate partner violence after ID’s 'Chris Brown: A History of Violence' premiered Sunday night.
“Domestic violence is an epidemic hiding in plain sight. It doesn’t discriminate. In that respect, wealth has little to do with many instances,” Hostin toldKamala Harris Wins Howard Stern's Vote, Calls Out Donald Trump's Lack of Empathy in Live Interviewsand sexual assault allegations that first came to light in 2009 when the star rapper pled guilty to a felony charge of physically assaulting former girlfriend Rihanna.
Progress to stem domestic violence, she added, will not be made if allegations and cases around celebrity abusers are sensationalized and the stories of ordinary survivors are not heard. “This is something that doesn’t only happen to famous people. It doesn’t only happen to Rihanna. It doesn’t only happen with an R. Kelly or a P Diddy or a Harvey Weinstein or a Jeffrey Epstein,” Hostin insisted.
“It’s very important to know if it’s happening to a friend, a family member, it may even be happening to you. Because part of this is isolation, psychological abuse, financial abuse, sometimes sexual abuse is involved, as well as mental abuse,” she added. When asked about the post-#MeToo entertainment industry — following Harvey Weinstein’s criminal conviction and imprisonment, and now a jailedthat includes racketeering conspiracy charges — where powerful celebrities can build a network of enablers to carry out their sexual abuse, Hostin insisted bad people prosper when good people don’t come forward. Oftentimes people see things and they don’t speak up for whatever reason — maybe their job is at stake. Perhaps they don’t recognize the signs.
