She Was Murdered By Her Ex-Boyfriend| Dominique Dunne
Trigger Warning: Domestic Violence
Relationships are not meant to be perfect, but they should be expected to be respectful, aka keeping your hands to yourself. Abuse by no means is justifiable if you disagree with someone or are upset by what is being said and how it’s being said, but it seems as though actress Dominique Dunne’s ex-boyfriend never got that memo. And I think it’s essential to note that often when a woman, or man, is in an abusive relationship, people from the outside looking in, or even the inside looking in, ask why they haven’t left. Newsflash: Dominique did leave him, and this tragedy happened! But I’m getting a little too ahead of myself.
