Gabrielle Union Defends Rihanna?s ?Man Down? Video!

Gabrielle Union came to Rihanna?s defense about her new video, ?Man Down? in which Rihanna kills her rapist in the�video. Gabrielle was raped when she was a teenager, so she knows what it feels�like�to be in that position.

Union, who has spoken openly in the past about being sexually assaulted when she was 19, wrote on Twitter about the video, which tells a story that, for her, hits close to home.

?Durin my rape I tried 2 shoot my rapist, bt I missed,? the actress, 38, Tweeted. ?Over the yrs I realized tht killin my rapist would?ve added insult 2 injury.?

She added: ?The DESIRE 2 kill someone whose abused/raped u is understandable, bt unless its self defense n the moment 2 save ur life, just ADDS 2 ur troubles.?

Union also praised the video for raising awareness and encouraging a discussion about sexual abuse. ?I hope tht it leads 2 HEALING & PREVENTS RAPE,? she continued, before adding, ?Every victim/survivor of rape is unique, including how they THINK they?d like justice 2 be handed out.?
