@TonyRobbins Let me answer for every single woman who gets blamed for DV by being asked, “What caused him to hit you?” -He has a violence problem. All couples/humans argue and provoke each other, only abusers and criminals resort to violence. -

@BuzzFeed is twisting her words. Tony changed her life and she has a book out about escaping abusive relationships. Without@TonyRobbins , she could have been killed. Tony May have saved her life. - 1 more reply
