Former ballerina Ashley Benefield is on trial for murder. She's accused in the shooting death of her husband. Benefield claims her husband was physically abusive. She was at her mother's home in Florida when she says he smacked her across the head. That's when she opened fire. Benefield says it she acted in self-defense and she was protecting. In opening statements, her defense team said Benefield lived in fear. However, the prosecution says she is a conniving killer.

    This has absolutely nothing to do with the movie "Black Swan" because there is LITERALLY nothing in common. "Black Swan" is about an evil spirit possessing a ballerina to become the best performer.

    Inside edition loves making movie references whenever they have a chance

    0:58 - Ashley wept in court. Except there were no tears which shows that her weeping is just an act

    Women always using the “physical abuse card”. 🙄🤦🏻‍♂️
  • I do not believe most of these women who say they were abused. That woman who ran her boyfriend over in her car was angry because she was jealous of her boyfriend. The ballet dancer here was pregnant at the time and I don't think he was abusive either. Being female I am usually on the side of the women but not in all cases.

    WHY do the anchors on inside edition sound so terribly fake.

    1:00 That’s some fake weeping. Although acting nowhere as bad as North Koreans cheering, smiling at Kim.
  • What is it with professional cyclers, track and field , fitness, body builders , runners , zunba dancers and real state these people keep shooting at people for no reason and they claim their being attacked when they wanna check out a home , run , ride their bike or do anything and all these woman keep shooting men without probable cause
