00:00How is it when you have this public Mary but then behind the scenes you're
00:04trying to find that strength of the woman you are? Well because when mentally
00:11you've been, how can I say it, beaten down, manipulated. In front of the
00:19world, you know, you have to, especially when you're in a relationship, you're
00:23trying to protect the person and you're trying to hold yourself
00:27together. So when you've been beaten down mentally, you go home and you
00:33suffer and you deal with that because you, I'm sorry, I'm speaking for
00:36everybody else, but I was beginning to think I was nothing. You know, I was
00:41beginning to think those things. There will be people who will say, how is that
00:42possible? That Mary J, and you know that my sister was murdered. I speak out for
00:47domestic violence awareness. I think a lot of women don't get that it doesn't
00:52matter economic. It doesn't matter race. It doesn't matter where you're from. You
00:57can find yourself in these situations that make you feel like you're nothing.
01:02Well that's because being Mary J. Blige, the celebrity, is secondary. I'm a human
01:08being at first and I suffer just like everybody else.
