Ryan Dorsey & Naya Rivera: STOP Asking About Naya"s Arrest!
Over Thanksgiving weekend, Naya Rivera was charged with domestic battery after an incident in which she reportedly struck her husband, Ryan Dorsey, on the head and lip.
While that’s troubling for the couple and their child, it’s also been disturbing to fans of Naya and of the couple, for obvious reasons.
Finally, Ryan Dorsey is making a statement.
So, at about 9:30 in the evening on Saturday night, Naya Rivera and her husband, Ryan Dorsey, were taking their two-year-old son, Josey, out for a walk.
Reportedly, they got into some sort of argument about Josey — which you usually shouldn’t do in front of your kid to begin with.
It was then that Naya allegedly struck her husband, on the head and on his lip. Again, this was apparently in front of their child.
We don’t know the extent of the attack, but Ryan apparently presented cell phone video of it to police, and they could see evidence of it on his face.
Naya was charged a little after midnight with domestic battery.
This was a crushing disappointment to many of her fans — a number of whom immediately stopped counting themselves as such. Domestic battery is no laughing matter.
(Even though Naya’s former fiance Big Sean trolled her about it on Twitter, which was opportunistic and arguably not entirely tasteful)
We later learned that none of Ryan Dorsey’s injuries were sufficient for him to require medical attention, and that apparently alcohol was involved (though that’s not an excuse).
But the world has wanted to hear what the couple has to say about what happened.
Ryan is speaking out first.
Taking to Twitter, Ryan Dorsey shared a heartfelt message that must have been challenging to compose:
“This is a difficult time for everyone in the family especially for Naya and I.”
That should read Naya and me, but it’s Twitter and we don’t think that his big focus was on grammar.
“This isn’t some reality show, this is our life.”
Sometimes, you just need to state the obvious.
“I ask that everyone especially ‘the media’ respect our privacy and treat us/this situation how you would want a loved one to be treated.”
(That’s going to mean different things to different people; plenty of folks would want 100% scrutiny on a couple where one partner hit the other, especially in front of their child)
Ryan Dorsey has some suggestions for how he imagines that people would want their loved ones to be treated:
“Perhaps with kindness, respect, without judgment, and as negative a situation this is, with positivity and love.”
He then signs it:
“Thanks, RD.”
Normally, we’d be 100% on board with his request for privacy.
First of all, he’s the victim in this situation.
Second of all, there’s a line where even public figures have a right to privacy. Particularly where things concern their children and their home life.
But when there’s an alleged crime involved — particularly one as serious as domestic battery.
Right now, we don’t know if Ryan is going to try to work things out or if their divorce that was called off is back on.
That post might indicate that they’re going to attempt to stay together, but they may still be deciding.
It might be easy for some to look at this couple and say “well, he’s not really injured, so how bad can it be?”
Partner abuse inflicted by women upon men is real and it’s serious.
While it’s true that society often makes it difficult for a woman to escape from abuse, a lot of those same social pressures make men ashamed to report being abused by a woman.
Now, maybe there’s a lot that we don’t know about their situation, but some find it troubling that Ryan Dorsey is asking people to back off when he could be bringing more attention to this issue.
We would counter that he is the alleged victim and, again, we don’t know as much about this situation as he does.
We should let the story unfold, okay?

Naya Rivera Charged with Domestic Battery of Ryan Dorsey
We all know that Mark Salling faces prison time, but he"s not the only Glee star in trouble with the law.
Naya Rivera has been charged with domestic battery against her husband, Ryan Dorsey.
And the alleged incident occurred in the presence of the couple"s child.
Almost two months ago, we told you to pop your "congratulations on your divorce!" balloons and to go ahead and eat your celebratory divorce cake, if you"d had them ready.
Because Naya Rivera and Ryan Dorsey had called off their divorce.
Naya and Ryan have a young son, Josey Hollis Dorsey.
The couple had been in the process of disentangling after two years of marriage, but sometimes, couples work things out.
Sometimes, partners try to work through their differences for their child"s sake.
However, sometimes trying to make things work — for yourselves or for a child or both — end up just making things worse.
And, well, it looks like things have gotten much worse.
Local news station WSAZ-TV reports that Naya Rivera has been charged with domestic battery after an alleged assault against husband Ryan Dorsey.
She was arrested at home on Saturday evening, at around 9:30pm in Kanawha County, West Virginia.
Ryan Dorsey told deputies that Naya had struck him in the head and lip while the couple was taking their son, Josey, on a walk down the street.
Domestic violence is always a serious situation folks, but this allegation is that it took place in front of their child. That is much worse.
And though we don"t know the circumstances that led to this, it"s reported that Dorsey presented cell phone video to the police that featured Naya"s battery against him.
Naya Rivera was charged after midnight (so, technically, on Sunday morning).
Her bond was set at $ 1000 at first, but upon review of the evidence and a review of her criminal history, Naya was released on PR bond — personal recognizance.
Reportedly, it was her father-in-law, of all people, who picked her up afterwards.
We cannot imagine what sort of conversation they must have had on that car ride.
And we still have no knowledge of what brought about this incident of alleged domestic battery.
But domestic violence is very serious. Unless Naya was somehow defending herself or someone else, which no one has suggested so far, we can"t imagine any sort of justification.
And, again, this was reportedly in the presence of their young child.
Witnessing a domestic assault can be traumatic for children.
This news comes as a crushing disappointment, and not just for fans of Naya Rivera"s acting roles.
In the past, Naya Rivera revealed that she"d had an abortion and she also detailed her eating disorder. That took a lot of bravery.
A lot of people liked that she was willing to share those parts of her story with the world.
But there"s nothing inspirational or educational about an accusation of domestic battery.
Naya"s hardly the first celebrity to disappoint us this month, but it"s never good to learn that someone — famous or otherwise — isn"t who you thought they were.

Naya Rivera and Ryan Dorsey: Reconciling, Not Divorcing!
Remember last November, when Naya Rivera filed for divorce from Ryan Dorsey?
Well, pop those “congrats on your divorce” balloons and find a discreet way to eat that celebratory divorce cake, because it sounds like this divorce has been officially canceled.
Who ever heard of an on-again, off-again marriage?
We’re kidding — they happen all of the time. Especially, for some reason, among celebrities.
But first, let’s remember how they got to where they are.
Naya Rivera dated Ryan Dorsey for quite a while before she starred on Glee.
Despite the two having been so close for so long, Naya Rivera broke things off with Ryan after she became famous.
In her memoir, Sorry Not Sorry: Dreams, Mistakes, and Growing Up, Naya also revealed that she discovered, post-breakup, that Ryan had gotten her pregnant.
Naya shared that she had chosen to get an abortion at that time, and has since been praised for being open and honest about abortion when the majority of the many millions of American women who receive abortions each year are shamed into silence by cultural conservatives.
Naya and Ryan would get back together again, four years after their 2010 breakup.
In Cabo San Lucas, Mexico in 2014, Naya Rivera and Ryan Dorsey got married.
This came as quite a shock, as not only was it a surprise wedding, but it came only three months following Naya’s breakup from Big Sean.
(It’s almost cute that that was shocking at the time — now it’s 2017 and Kylie Jenner wound up pregnant just a month after she started dating Travis Scott as a rebound after ending her lengthy relationship with Tyga. A wedding after three months somehow seems less dramatic, now)
Normally, she might have been accused of infidelity leading up to her reconciliation with Ryan Dorsey.
But infidelity was allegedly more Big Sean’s department. And it was Big Sean who broke off their engagement … which Naya reportedly learned about through his publicist.
(Yikes)
But, again, Naya and Ryan had been together for years before. So it might not be accurate to describe her reunion with Ryan as a rebound.
Sometimes it takes being with the wrong person to realize who was right for you all along.
Or not-so-right, as it turns out.
Though Naya Rivera and Ryan Dorsey had welcome their first child into the world in late September of 2015, the couple called it quits late in 2016.
It was November, not quite two months after their baby Josey Hollis Dorsey’s first birthday, that Naya Rivera filed for divorce.
The divorce seemed to be reasonably amicable at the time.
Though Naya was seeking primary physical custody of their child, a public statement indicated that they planned on co-parenting Josey and they seemed, you know, pretty civil.
Keep in mind that a lot of divorces are filled with hyperbole, vitriol, and outright lies.
Others are filled with horrifying accusations that could curdle your stomach.
As, we imagine, would have been the case if Naya Rivera had continued dating Mark Salling before his arrest for child porn.
Naya’s statement about Mark Salling at the time of his arrest was, uh, ill-advised and left a lot of people scratching their heads.
But, honestly, who in the world actually knows what to say in a situation like that?
Anyway, Gossip Cop reports that Naya Rivera has filed a motion to dismiss her petition for divorce.
It appears that she’s calling off the whole divorce altogether.
We certainly hope that this means that Naya and Ryan are reconciling.
They always seemed like a good fit, and now there’s hope on the horizon. Again.

Naya Rivera and Ryan Dorsey: IT"S OVER!
Just over a year after welcoming her first child into the world, Naya Rivera has said goodbye to the man who played a key role in this miraculous event.
The actress has filed for divorce from Ryan Dorsey.
The parents of little Josey Hollis Dorsey, Rivera and Dorsey dated briefly a few years ago.
But Rivera then went on to strike up a romance with Big Sean and to get engaged to the rapper in 2013, only to see that relationship fall apart amidst rumors of infidelity (on his part) and controlling behavior (on Naya’s part).
After apparently finding out that her engagement was over from Big Sean’s publicist, the ex-Glee star then returned to Dorsey’s arms a short while later.
Just three months after they reconciled, Rivera and Dorsey got married in a surprise wedding ceremony in Mexico.
“We feel truly blessed to be joined as husband and wife,” the newlyweds told People in July of 2014. “Our special day was fated and everything we could have ever asked for.”
It seemed very much like a brash decision and as though Dorsey was nothing more than a rebound. But Rivera proceeded to get pregnant and then birth to her son last fall.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Rivera filed for divorce last week and is seeking primary physical custom of Josey.
In her very raw and honest memoir, “Sorry Not Sorry,” Rivera revealed that she had undergone an abortion while a part of the Glee cast and had broken up with Dorsey just weeks earlier.
This took place the first time they dated.
In September, she praised her husband for his reaction to this deeply private old news.
“He said, ‘Uh you know, in the short time that we dated, I wish that I could have done something to make you feel like you could have trusted me with that information because I would have loved to have been there with you,"” Riva recalled for the ladies of The Real, adding:
“And I was like, ‘God, that’s amazing, thank you so much.’
“I think it was the kindest and best thing that any man could have ever said in that situation. It just made me love him that much more, so I thank him for that.”
What happened since this talk show appearance that made Rivera feel differetly about Dorsey?
We really can’t say. We simple don’t know.
But it’s not as if plenty of Hollywood couples don’t split up, as we’ve documented in the photo gallery above.
It seems fair to categorize Rivera as impulsive, based on what we’ve read and what we know about her. So let’s hope she doesn’t come to regret this decision.
Just as we were about to publish this article, Rivera and Dorsey released a joint statement.
It reads:
“After much consideration, we have made the decision to end our marriage.
“Our priority is and always will be our beautiful son that we share together. We will continue to be great co-parenting partners for him. We ask for respect and privacy for our family during this difficult time.”
We wish both Rivera and Dorsey nothing but the best moving forward.
