TMZ Has Released Video of Ray Rice Knocking His Fiancee out with a Left Hook in a Revel Elevator

Congratulations to the Revel Casino, whose lasting legacy and influence on AC lore will be this video of Ray Rice knocking his fiancee the fuck out.

TMZ has obtained video that shows Rice and his fiancee, Janey Palmer, arguing before they got into a Revel elevator on February 15. Palmer approached Rice and then received a vicious left hook to the face, which, combined with an unfortunate collision with the railing, left her unconscious. Rice then dragged her out of the elevator before leaving her in the entrance. Palmer appeared to be out completely cold.

But here’s the fun part: TMZ claims the NFL saw this video before issuing Rice his two-game suspension:

An employee of the hotel — which just shut down for good — tells TMZ Sports he was working there at the time and says the NFL saw the elevator footage before imposing the 2-game suspension.

We reached out to the NFL for comment several times — so far, radio silence.

Today is going to be a very bad day for Roger Goodell, and rightfully so.

Disturbing video after the jump.

Sports people shit on TMZ, but while everyone else is chasing depth chart news and roster moves, they’re breaking actual stories.
