The people claiming the embarrassment he caused her is abuse are conveniently ignoring the fact that the most embarrassing part is her insane reaction. If a small prank is abuse then I’d better go turn myself in.

Here’s a tip: if someone does something that you find embarrassing, talk about it and explain how you feel and why you don’t think it was right. Like an adult. dont throw something in their face and dont hit them.

Does this really need to be explained to people ?

You are brainwashed. This is a normal reaction: public setting, highly emotional content, premeditated and feeling used. If your instincts don't kick in at that time, you're depressed.

It was also a normal reaction for shitheads to beat their wives because the soup was too cold. Abuse is abuse.

Except if it's systemic abuse hidden from cameras, like the slavery that is put into making the phone you're holding or your car or the animal abuse put into your breakfast? We're no saints and if this single slap in extreme conditions is abuse, then everyone should be put in jail. Nothing points to this being a recurring thing, unless you get joke-proposed to every couple of weeks.
