Ugh, that’s upsetting.

Both times he’s waiting for the door to close so he can strike her.

This is why these assholes often appear so “normal” to everyone else.
They are careful to hide it.

It’s a familiar sight in domestic violence cases. We need to do better in helping victims.

Pot smokers get more punishment than this guy.

It’s also the “we’re going to walk out of here and you’re going to look like I didn’t just hit you so hard you fell down the stairs” victim-controlling dynamic.

Better wording than mine. I want to be clear: I don’t think she provoked him, but she maybe was thinking she did because that’s part of being victimized.

Yep, she’s trying to keep things from escalating.

Maybe not so much nonchalance but fear. Fear is what I see. She’s trying to go on like things are okay to keep from provoking him again.

The most unsettling part is how quickly he turns to assisting her. Picking up her purse, attempting to put her glasses back on. It’s that sort of, “I’m so nice, why do you make me do this?” behavior. The power dynamic of abusers is absolutely chilling.

I have no idea why, but something about the way he keeps putting the glasses he just punched off her face back on her is as deeply disturbing as the actual physical violence, like it’s some extension of a need for control or the like.

I just always assume Jude Law’s new girlfriend only recently required a nanny...

Taylor Swift: “beautiful gowns...”

Nobody should give a fuck about OJ. Nobody should give a fuck about professionally outraged and hypocritical white people who cry crocodile tears for white victims whilst demonizing black ones.

“We believed that he was a murderer and we believed the Los Angeles Police Department tried to frame him by tampering with evidence. Both things were probably true.”

I was done with OJ when he went on tv and called Ron Goldman’s dad a crybaby. Even in some mirrorverse where OJ didn’t do it, why would someone other than a sociopath do something like that. Screw that wife beating piece of shit.

Michael Harriott sure knows how to trigger them.

You are correct; last I read, the split is 53/47, with the 53% being the mother.

I could be wrong but I remember reading that courts don’t favor mothers in cases where fathers fight for custody. Most fathers don’t fight for full custody.

Honestly, I have such issues with this. Clearly, the system doesn’t work well to protect women, especially when the perpetrators are rich and famous. However, even if they are guilty, does that mean they can never work again? (Whether any individual chooses to not watch their movies, read their books, etc., is totally…
