5. Wow! What a total dirt bag. Looks like the girl over his right shoulder was watching every move

The behavior is repulsive and suggests a person who might have a propensity toward spousal abuse. If he can't control himself out in the open and in front of cameras, imagine what he's capable of in private when no one is watching. That pushing away of the comforting hand, may very well have turned into an open handed backhand to the face.
