At the end of the day he's a football player and that's what they really should be focused on. And that's certainly not the only thing she and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell disagree about. NBC exclusive interview with Janay is the first time she's publicly spoken out on TV since TMZ released the elevator video purportedly showing her and then fiance Ray Rice. Knocking her unconcious . >> You seen the second tape ? >> No. I refuse. I refuse. I'm not gonna let the public bring me back there . >> Janay's mother sat beside her, as she answered questions from Matt Lauer about the night of the. Incident and the fallout since. The running back was suspended two games when the incident first game to light. But the NFL bumped that to an indefinite ban, after the second video and longer version of it. Showing the alleged assault became public. On Friday US District Judge Barber S. Jones ruled Rice did not lie to the NFL about the elevator incident. That came regardless of reports that Ray Rice told a different story to the Baltimore Ravens. And the NFL before the video game out. In her ruling, the judge who heard the appeal of the suspension said, Rice did not mislead the commissioner at the June 16th meeting, and therefore, that the imposition of a second suspension based on the same incident. And the same known facts about the incident was arbitrary. Shortly after the decision was made, the NFL General Counsel made its disapproval clear, stating, no part of Judge Jones's decision questions the Commissioner's honesty or integrity. Nor his good faith consideration of the issue. Janay says no instances of abuse have happened since that video. Ray Rice is now eligible to return to the NFL but will first need to sign with a team. Ray Rice's portion of the NBC interview airs Tuesday. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Janay Rice Speaks, NBC Airs Interview With Ray Rice's Wife","description":"Janay Rice fielded questions from Matt Lauer in an interview that aired Monday morning.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/7c0cCnLb/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2014-12-01T14:36:00.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/7c0cCnLb.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/video/7c0cCnLb/","duration":"PT1M45S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/video/7c0cCnLb/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}} ```
