A few days before, President Barack Obama appeared in a video during the Grammys urging artists to help stop violence against women.
That same day saw the release of the controversial movie "Fifty Shades of Grey" featuring a BDSM relationship some say is abusive. On Friday, football star Ray Rice issued a public apology for punching his wife, Janay, into unconsciousness during a 2013 casino visit - an incident that led to him being suspended from, and later reinstated by, the NFL.
