Ms. Apple was not pleased by that development and went on a Twitter rant that had followers cheering her on:

Don't know why it's difficult 4 folks to realize there's nothing remotely acceptable bout violence against women. No excuse no justification

As a domestic violence survivor, reading these Mara comments makes me sad, angry and completely baffled. He just doesn't get it. This is sad

I'm more sad than embarrassed. My heart breaks for a woman who had to live in fear for her life& daily safety. That makes me sad. Been there https://t.co/q3DR4ETzgv

It's one thing to like someone or even a team. It's a whole other thing to cosign the bullsh*t. Don't cosign the bull.

By the first time a domestic violence victim calls police, there are dozens of times b4 that she didn't. Takes courage to seek help, justice

And Molly Brown is somebody's daughter, sister, mother; more importantly a human. It's not about my son's boss. It's about Molly's suffering https://t.co/wiYfvDpCXB

Abuse at the hands of man who's supposed to love u is not something victims like to talk about; ur embarrassed, hard to process emotionally

Because someone signs your check, doesn't mean he or she owns your soul. The day you put that up for sale, your humanity ceases to exist.

Definitely not part of my life I like to talk about or relive. But it's important to speak up for someone who can't cuz she's ashamed. https://t.co/LBHVKi0MEU

Man, that’s one heck of a string of tweets. Annie Apple is completely on point here though. It’s embarrassing that Mara chose to keep Brown for so long after knowing about his history of domestic violence.
