The Fox hosts also criticized Janay Palmer and Rihanna for going back to their abusive partners.

Baltimore Ravens' running back Ray Rice was suspended by the NFL on Monday after TMZ released a video of him knocking his wife, Janay, unconscious in an elevator.

In a segment on Monday, Kilmeade and co-host Steeve Doocey also criticized domestic violence victims like Janay and Rihanna for not breaking up with their abusive partners.

Janay and Rice were married a month after the incident. Doocey (left) said, "I should also point out after that video, now you know what happened in there, she still married him."

Kilmeade said that Rihanna too went back to Chris Brown right after he violently assaulted her. A lot of people thought that "was a terrible message," he added for good measure.
