Bizarre new video shows Ray Rice and his fiancée – both with their hands cuffed behind their back – lovingly kissing not long after he knocked her cold inside an Atlantic City elevator.
The surveillance video, obtained by ABC News, shows his now-wife Janay Palmer, at first shunning his efforts to speak to her as they both stood in an elevator in police custody after a boozy Valentine’s Day bash turned violent at the Revel Casino last Feb. 15.
A weeping Janay nudged the brute away as he tried to approach her, the video shows, and hotel security at one point got between the warring lovebirds.
But then Palmer – who admitted she was pie-eyed during the violent encounter – inexplicably started nuzzling and making out with the disgraced ex-NFL star, who earned Pro Bowl honors while playing for the Baltimore Ravens.
Both were arrested though charges against Janay were dropped.
Rice was barred from the league, a decision that was later overturned by an arbitrator.
