I really don't see it being any other way that she was either trying to grab his phone, maybe a bit of clawing and hitting and him snapping back and choking and manhandling her. It was probably pretty typical for them like I said in another post but you can't move like when you've reached peak stardom. I'm also totally against putting your hands on a woman, but I also understand that when being attacked (even if its non threatening) depending on your mental that day retaliation can happen in a instant.
So this is a L for him, but I don't think that's career ending. It's just really really badly timed, and it probably has marvel about to work up some contingency plans. I do believe that most great actors and actresses typically behave like this.
The top tier actors and actresses aren't all the way there in the head.
RDJ and Denzel are like miracle stories too me. Especially RDJ, they've been through a lot and have risen above and seemingly made it out the acting game without it destroying them mentally.
Anyway he gonna have to hold the L. And if things prove to be even worse then hopefully she moves on and he gets help.
Either way, as a man, especially a black one, a single accustation can change your whole life. True or false.
