Toni Braxton has blasted Ray Rice following the leaked footage of him attacking his fiancée in an elevator.

The Unbreak My Heart singer took to Twitter to make her feelings on the subject known.

She slammed: "To not only knock that woman unconscious, but to drag her out of the elevator so nonchalantly…that is no man, but a beast.

"NO woman should EVER experience that, and any man that allows a woman to make him that mad should be single.

"Domestic abuse is never ok, no matter what your profession is. What happened on that elevator is downright FILTHY."

NFL player Ray had his $40 million Baltimore Ravens contract terminated after the footage was leaked.

Apparently Mariah has been drinking heavy amounts of champagne and become accustomed to taking antidepressants.
