章節 148: Chapter 148: Domestic Violence

"So, Link, what Amber said about fainting and measuring in hours, is it all true?"

Elisabeth Hasselbeck asked on the show.

Link smiled, "Maybe we should change the subject, I'm worried Taylor might come after me if she hears this."

Everyone laughed.

"Link, during the Grammy Awards, besides the incident between you, Kanye, and Lil Wayne, there was another big event in the music industry. Rihanna and her boyfriend Chris Brown got into a fight on the street. Did you see the news?"

Whoopi Goldberg asked.

Link was impressed by her question. It touched upon his incident with Kanye while staying on topic for the interview. It was a good question.

He had naturally seen the news about Rihanna and her boyfriend's fight.

Rihanna was a Barbadian singer who debuted in 2005 and had released three albums, selling over 10 million copies, and winning two Grammy Awards. She was very famous.

Her boyfriend, Chris Brown, was a famous black rapper and a top star in the music industry.

On the eve of the Grammy Awards, they got into a fight on the street, and Rihanna was beaten black and blue, unable to go out and see people, and missed the Grammy Awards ceremony.

Before the Grammys, their fight was the biggest news in the entertainment industry, and Chris Brown was criticized by many.

It wasn't until Link and Kanye got into a dispute that the public and media attention shifted to Link.

Sometimes Link suspected that Lil Wayne and the others were taking the heat for Chris Brown, as they were good friends and often collaborated on albums.

"Yes, that news was sensational, and I paid attention to it."

Link said.

"Link, as a man, what do you think of Chris Brown's violence against his girlfriend Rihanna?"

Ms. Goldberg asked.

Link said, "My opinion is consistent with mainstream public opinion. No matter what the reason, hitting someone is definitely wrong, and hitting someone you love is even more wrong.

I suggest that all people with violent tendencies, including men and women, try boxing. Boxing training involves hitting a punching bag every day. In the process of practicing, the violent factors and impulsive personality in the body will also be gradually worn away."

"Really? Why have I heard that people who practice boxing have very violent tempers and often hit people?" Host Sunny Hostin said.

"That's definitely not true. People see boxers hitting people often because they fight in the ring. The stereotype of them is that they are a profession that hits people. In fact, most boxers have a more gentle temper and are more tolerant than ordinary people.

On the one hand, boxing organizations and sports committees have explicit regulations that boxers cannot fight with ordinary people. No matter what the reason, if they do, they may be suspended or even banned from competition.

On the other hand, boxers train and compete frequently, and they are often hit. Their violent tendencies and personality will also be tempered in one game after another.

If you observe carefully, you will find that the older the boxer, the gentler their personality. For them, violent tendencies are actually a rare quality."

"I can attest to that."

Ms. Goldberg said, "I know George Foreman, Larry Holmes, and Evander Holyfield, those old guys. They are like Santa Claus all day long, laughing at everyone they see. Their wives say that no matter how much they annoy them, they won't lose their temper. It feels like they are a few castrated old bulls."

The audience burst into laughter.

Link smiled helplessly. He just wanted to use the show to restore the image of his fellow boxers, but Whoopi Goldberg's description was a bit too much.

"Boxing is a great sport. It can not only help you get fit and lose excess fat, but also train your willpower and improve your personality flaws. I suggest that anyone who is interested can give it a try."

Link said.

"Blake, I'm going to practice boxing, what do you think?"

In a Beverly Hills mansion, Emma Roberts looked at the TV and asked Blake Lively on the sofa.

"You want to practice boxing?"

Blake Lively looked at her small frame and didn't want to discourage her, "That's fine, but I think badminton or tennis are more suitable for us girls."

"Link said that practicing boxing can train willpower and make up for personality flaws. I want to try boxing."

Emma Roberts said, clenching her small fists.

"Okay, I'll support you in spirit."

"Thank you. I'll go find Link to learn boxing in a few days."

Emma Roberts said.

"You want to learn boxing from Link?"

"Of course, if you want to learn boxing, you have to learn from the best."

Emma said matter-of-factly.

"You want to hook up with Link!"

Kristen said, playing with her phone without looking up.

Emma blushed and glared at her, "Nonsense, I don't!"

Blake Lively looked at her and thought of Link's expertise in "critical hits," and couldn't help but worry for her.

"Link, we all know that you are dating Miss Taylor Swift. Have you ever had any disagreements or conflicts? Have you ever gotten physical?"

Ms. Elisabeth asked at the show.

Link shook his head slightly, "We naturally have minor conflicts between couples, but when we encounter conflicts, we sit down and talk seriously. Whoever is wrong takes the initiative to admit it. I usually admit my mistakes more often because Taylor is very good at writing songs, one after another. If I don't admit my mistakes, she will write me into her songs, and those songs will make me break out in a cold sweat."

"Really?"

Ms. Elisabeth laughed.

"Yes, you will know how good she is when she releases her new album. She is a musical genius who can write anything into songs, and those songs are all very good. When I am with her, I love and respect her, and of course I wouldn't hit her."

Link shrugged.

Clap clap clap! The audience applauded his answer.

"During our conversation, we can also feel Link's personality: peaceful, humorous, and polite. I also believe that such a person would not use domestic violence, so Taylor's fans can rest assured."

Ms. Goldberg smiled at the camera.

"Taylor, has Link ever hit you?"

Mrs. Andrea asked at the Swift family villa.

"He hit me? Of course not. I'm more likely to hit him."

Taylor glanced at her brother Austin's homework, "You got it all wrong. Go back and do your homework! No watching TV!"

Austin lowered his head in grievance.

"You hit Link?"

Mrs. Andrea frowned.

"Well, not really. Just occasionally punching him in the chest or shoulders. His muscles are very strong, it doesn't hurt at all."

Taylor gestured.

"That's not okay either. Link doesn't hit you because he's letting you off easy. You can't be too overbearing."

"I know."

Taylor shrugged and blinked her blue fox eyes at the TV, where the host was asking Link if he could cook. Link said yes, cooking was one of his hobbies. The host praised him as a good man and said Taylor was very lucky to have a boyfriend like him.

Link responded by saying that he was the luckiest person in the world to have a girlfriend like Taylor.

"Ugh! Why are they talking about this?"

Taylor covered her red cheeks and said shyly.

Mrs. Andrea looked at the handsome and gentle Link in a suit on TV, then at Taylor with her messy hair, "Why do I suddenly feel like you're not good enough for Link?"

Taylor was stunned for a moment and said with dissatisfaction, "Mom, how can you say that? I'm also very good, okay?"

"I'm just telling you to be careful. Men like Link are very rare, and there are many women waiting to take your place. You'd better watch out."

Mrs. Andrea got up and went into the dining room.

Taylor frowned and blinked her blue eyes.

"Taylor, is Link good at fighting?"

Austin asked.

Taylor realized her brother was still watching TV, "He's a world boxing champion, of course he's good."

"Someone is bullying me at school. Can I ask Link to beat them up?" Austin asked.

"Someone is bullying you? Why didn't you tell Dad?"

"Telling Dad is useless. The principal criticizes them, but they still tease me."

Austin rubbed his nose and said in a weak voice.

"You're useless!" Taylor poked his forehead. "Go tell them that your brother-in-law is Link. If anyone dares to bully you, tell Link to come to school and beat them up next time."

"Okay!"

Austin grinned happily.

At the TV show, the interview lasted for nearly an hour and was coming to an end. Link took a sip of water and heard host Whoopi Goldberg ask,

"Link, last question, and also a question that many people are currently concerned about. After the Grammy incident last time, the conflict between you and Lil Wayne and the others caused a big stir in the entertainment industry and attracted a lot of attention.

Last time Lil Wayne and 50 Cent were on our show for an interview, they fully recognized their mistakes and made a sincere apology to all the singers who participated in the Grammy Awards, all the fans, and you personally.

Afterwards, you posted on Twitter saying 'let it go.' The media speculated that you were using this way to express reconciliation. Is that true?"

Link shrugged, "I know that rappers are a group of people with strong personalities, including Kanye. People without personality can hardly write those cool songs, so I understand their various behaviors and words. Now they have recognized their mistakes and apologized to me, which I appreciate, and I naturally won't hold a grudge."

"You mentioned Kanye. Does that mean you forgive him too?" Ms. Goldberg asked.

Link chuckled, "Yes, if he needs forgiveness."

"A century reconciliation, a Hollywood ending. Let's all applaud Link."

Ms. Goldberg led the applause.

There was a warm applause at the scene.

Link thanked everyone.

"Bullshit! I didn't do anything wrong, why should I be forgiven by him? This damn bastard is using my popularity again, I will never forgive him."

Kanye picked up the wine bottle on the table and smashed the TV screen.

"That's enough, Kanye. Link is as famous as you now, he doesn't need to use your popularity."

Eminem laughed.

"Hmph, that's because he succeeded in using my popularity. Before this incident, he definitely didn't have such a high reputation in the entertainment industry. This cunning guy."

Kanye cursed with a dark face.

Eminem shook his head. Ever since Kanye became famous, he often went out wearing a baseball cap, sunglasses, or wrapping his head with a cloth to prevent people from recognizing him and using his popularity, as if he had paranoia.

"Let's go, let's go to the bar for a drink. Lil Wayne and the others are all there."

Eminem asked.

"No, I've been too angry these days and wrote a few more songs. I want to finish my new album earlier and let Link know that if you want to make a name for yourself in the music industry, hype alone is not enough. Strength is the most important."

Kanye drained his glass and stormed out the door, not forgetting to put on his baseball cap before leaving.
