She wanted more attention from a top football player. So out came boiling water

The college career of FIU senior tight end Jonnu Smith, the team’s premier offensive player over his four seasons and easily the Panthers’ best 2017 NFL Draft prospect, ended on Halloween when his girlfriend doused him with boiling water. According to the arrest affidavit, Smith suffered severe burns on his head, neck, back, a shoulder and an arm.

Miami Gardens resident Mary Gaspar, five months pregnant with Smith’s child, was charged with aggravated battery. Gaspar has been released on a pre-trial release order. 

i swear we don’t talk about the abusive ways of women enough in our society. no fucking way do we teach women not do shit like this. we encourage it. i mean when society tells you it’s okay to hit someone without any consequences, where the fuck do you think some are going to take it? 

damn. this… so fucking messed up.

Then stop giving these crazy girls the idea that their behavior is okay. Stay away from them. It’s not cute.

Y'all glamorize these “firey/spicy” attitudes.

^^^ they sure do! Unless it’s a Black woman, then she’s just an angry Black bitch, but in any other woman it’s cute right?

Men will say confidence is the sexiest thing about a woman..until that woman stands up for herself, until that woman has her own opinions, until that woman doesn’t need your compliments to make herself feel beautiful
