How British man wore make-up to hide bruises from wife’s beating for 20 years

A 46-year-old British man, Richard Spencer, has revealed how he wore make-up to hide the bruises inflicted by his wife, Sheree, during regular beatings from her for 20 years.

Some of the abuse videos shared by Richard e were captured on a security camera in the children’s playroom.

During an interview, Richard said, “When I think about those memories, I don’t feel associated with them. It’s like they happened to someone else. I know it was me, but in my mind, I can’t understand how I could have allowed that to happen. I wore make-up to hide bruises. The abuse became the norm.”
