Eminem & Rihanna Debut Domestic Violence Video "Love The Way You Lie"

Last night, Eminem debuted his new video for "Love the Way You Lie", a story about a couple grappling with domestic violence, featuring none other than Rihanna, who certainly knows a thing or two about that subject.
The video features Megan Fox, who donated the proceeds from the video to a women's shelter, and Dominic Monaghan as a doomed couple whose violence escalates, while Rihanna and Eminem perform in front of a burning house.
"I think we tried as hard as we could to not glorify the violence, to try and explain that this was a relationship that is by no means ideal and a relationship that probably should have ended a lot sooner than it did," Monaghan told MTV. "The concept of 'Love the Way You Lie' was essentially a look at the relationship that Eminem was in with his wife, Kim, so I kind of felt like I was playing Eminem a little bit, and Megan Fox was kind of playing Kim."
In fact, not only does Monaghan channel Eminem with his own shaved head, but Megan Fox looks a little like Monaghan's girlfriend/Lost co-star Evangeline Lilly!

He is cool! My boyfriend thinks the same as I do. He is eight years older than me, lol. We met online at AgeGapLove``.com a nice and free place for younger women and older men, or older women and younger men, to interact with each
other. Maybe you wanna check out or tell your friends.
wow GREAT video
Lets face it; RiRi its CRAZY as hell (she looks high) all the time, Emin well hes an open book, MFox, bipolar & w/attittude , its a great video with the accurate persons..
***ohh & Riri GET OVER Xs Brown..geshhh! or get bach 2 him..but dnt portrait urself like the victim, cuz evrubody says Ur a PAIN in the @ZZ!
OMG...Kudos & I Love U Eminem
Eminem is still tops and always will be!
amazing song and video! Megan did a good job too. Ri always rocks it, and Em will always be the shit
Eminem rocks! Awesome song and video.
rihanna needs to cover those thighs up
Everybody's smoking in this video. Dominic looks totally hot!
Very powerful video!
Riri is hot!! I'd like to get my tongue up her little brown hole...mmmm
I was in a relationship just like that. Best sex I've ever had. Totally screwed up my head and my life though. I think the video is powerful because it gets it right. Every bit of it. And the fact that everybody is hot really helps too!
dont like the video
Great video.
Megan Fox and Rihanna look great in it.
love love love the video!!
White Trash Power!
I don't get it. I couldn't decide if they where promoting or demoting domestic violence.
Great video, but why Fox? Couldn't get any real actress?
Fox killed it, as in she sucked. why not get someone that can actually act.
CAN'T BELIEVE RIHANNA IS SO STUPID TO PLAY IN A VIDEO WITH ANY DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.
Dominic and Evangeline broke up ages ago and Megan doesn't look a thing like her.
At least Megan wasnt talkin in the vid or else it would have been worse. Not bad but expected a lot more.
WOW!
They look like they're somehow promoting domestic violence and Dominic dares to say "we tried to not glorify the violence" WTF?! It's all I saw. Especially when he was putting his tongue in her mouth while keeping her on the wall! This video could have been more powerful or convincing if there was a bad ending. A real bad ending. Like the two dying because of this constant violence. Killing each other I don't know....something like this. Get it?! Megan really is just a pretty face. I think this guy Dominic is really ugly, what's the fuss? Eminem is cool and is a legend to me but I prefer his old stuff. Stan was much better than this crap. I don't like neither the song nor the video. And Rihanna, OH Rihanna......Where should I start? Her being foolish enough to be in a video about domestic violence, playing the victim all the time or having this most awful haircolor/haircut/hairstyle ever!!?!! Oh dear...
eminem is a miserable self rightous nasty ugly human being. rihanna is a cameltoe bitch!
I applaud Emmien and Rihanna for this....it is an awesome song and a powerful video. Domestic Abuse is complex but the simple message is....most women believe the lies and think they deserve the hurt and the guys think they can control it but go there anyway wiht violence, murder. Next time....for him.....next time for her.....in the moment there is no next time.
Don't like the video..it promoted sexuality rather than domestic violence..it is true with domestic violence there is always the honeymoon stage but where was the violence..the whole video seemed like a tease..VERY BAD STORYLINE AND ACTING.
