During the height of his popularity, former professional athlete Vance Johnson said he felt like a god. Then, during a 1996 episode of The Oprah Show, Vance admitted to abusing his ex-wife and other women in his life. Look back at that episode and see what Vance has to say now.

    Vance Johnson never apologized to me and his first born son. He beat me when I was pregnant and I thank the lord his son is kind and graceful to all men and especially women. His Mama taught him that.

    it's difficult for men to be remorseful about anything because the American Culture does not allow men to be this kind of person, mostly perpetuated by women.

    Yes, he was was brave to show up on the show but I believe he should have dealt with his personal issue some he could get pass his on pain. In addition,

    I don't really feel too must sorry for he because he could have chosen not to become the abuser. This just my opinion, but you have first deal with get yourself together be inviting someone else in your life. I am not saying that the pain is just going to go away but you will process it better. I would be more understanding for a teen or kid.
