No wonder he’s been married 2 times. It’s always the caring and sweet women men go for.

She was being a sweetheart to him and he treated her like that

Her dad knew something not right about him. He can sense something evil about him.

FIRST TIME THAT HE RAISED HIS VOICE AT A CONTROLLING ATTITUDE , HE WOULD HAVE BEEN GONE

I WAS IN A DOMESTIC VIOLENCE RELATIONSHIP FOR A LONG TIME. I GOT A DIVORCE

That's exactly why he's not ready for commitment

I am stuck in this too. Planning my escape

If they hit you once. They will be sorry until they kill you.

Domestic violence isn't no joke!

Many of you are saying, “I’d hit him back.” And “I’d beat his ass.” YALL don’t know shit when it comes to an abusive relationship. Yer abusive partner manipulates you into thinking you need them they degrade you and lower yer confidence into thinking they are the only thing that YOU need. They make you feel weak. Even if you fight back or stood up for yourself you get beatin and hurt more it’s like a loop They hurt you > they apologize > they degrade you > they hurt you again

When its a kill or be killed domestic situation, self defense should always be granted.

"Look what you made me do" "I'm sorry I didn't mean it" "It won't happen again" "I love you"

I love when they say now look what you made me do. She made her hand leave your side and smack her face.

I went through this with my ex boyfriend was controlling jealous possessive sometimes we have to be careful on who we are dating ladies😞😞😞💯

So many comments about race ... Y'all missed the whole point ... Domestic violence needs to stop!!! The best apology is to let them go... Let them know they deserve better and go work on yourself. That's the best apology.

32 and married twice already red flag ! That defensive reply when asked his age red flag ! The way he snatched his hand away from the father disrespectful red flag! And the fact that anyone has an intuitive bad feeling ( the father ) red flag !!! Well done psa for dv. Side bar the male actor is fine. They did a good job in my opinion presenting this topic.

the way the dad and the bf shook hands was weird

My first time seein a interrcial skit.. Good job👌

The male actors were convincing, loved the loving concerned father. Definitely is a very good short with showing the possible sad consequences of remaining within an abusive relationship. Excellent work on how all points were covered within just 5mins!

Okay, so here’s some free advice for anyone who finds themselves in this situation. Trying to argue, reason with, or seek answers from an abuser is like trying to hold a serious conversation with someone who’s under the influence of drugs or alcohol. An abuser doesn’t care how you feel or what you want, they’re only interested in what’s going on for them. She made the mistake of telling him she doesn’t deserve to be treated badly but not taking action to prevent herself from being treated badly. He has zero reasoning adjust his behaviour based on how she feels because he’s already chosen to be abusive based on what he gets from it. Save your breath and your energy and walk away. You can’t win through being reasonable with an unreasonable person.

I've watched a lot of these videos and I just have to say I can't even fathom speaking to my significant other like that or expecting or demanding that I be waited on. I just I cannot even comprehend the ignorance

If you loved someone you would never hit them.

There's a lot of truth to the old adage, "if they hit you once, they will hit you again". I lived through this for nearly 10 years as my self-confidence dissipated. I look back and I don't know the person I was. I certainly wasn't perfect but I came from a home where my parents NEVER, EVER fought in front of me. In fact, I never saw any animosity between them. He came from a home where screaming at each other from the break of dawn to bedtime was status quo though they were seemingly a tight family. We usually when something is not right and not meant to be. I knew from almost day one but I was afraid of being alone. How silly I feel now because the day it was finally over, my life instantly did a 180. And on his final days, he had the audacity to say that I was the best thing that ever happened to him.

Once abuse happened, the relationship is over. Period.

Red flags age 32 married 2s can't make eye contact

Like all abusers starts out good but ends badly.

A real black woman would have sent her brothers uncles or dad at him

Abusers try the first abusive thing to test the waters. When you give them a 2nd chance it keeps escalating until they are comfortable with doing any and everything to the person they are abusing. Forgiving someone doesn't mean you have to give them a 2nd chance to do it all over again. Abusive people are very calculating because chances are they have done many times before. Look for signs of disrespect, belittling comments, insecurity, jealousy, hatefulness, saying harsh comments and then say they are just playing, making you feel like YOU'RE overreacting and not respecting your boundaries. This can be a male or a female. Men are NOT the only ones who can be abusive.

No females should ever go through this or any man either 🤦🏾‍♀️💯...

The kitchen part is like me and mom when we fight😂

Idk what's going on but she look strong so I pretty sure she can beat him up😢

Wasn’t murder. It was self defense. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Wow...not sure how I stumbled upon this but it gave me chills. Very talented writer and actors

When he said get these trifling bitches I died🤣🤣🤣🥴🥴🥴

In my opinion a man has no reason to want to hit a woman especially in a relationship..once it does happen that's where the lines should be drawn

These poor beautiful girls,these girls are not punching bags or trash, there humans aswell.

I know this video isn’t a joke but the way the dad handshaked him 😭😭 man was sus from the start

Who the fuck is he talking too like that!

I hate when a man gets like this to his women

this was very well made video of How demanding. and annoyed abusers really are of the one they "love" and how fast and quick they are to act out towards anyone who is a threat.

This was great sooo many women struggle with this and I’m sure men too!! People need to stop being abusive and treat eachother with respect ✊🏾 Great message

Raising ur voice like that at me you would have gotten slapped

Even tho this is a story and a short film let’s just hope our children don’t bring home no losers like this

Majority of men will test a women to see what they will get away with. If u dont stop the bullshit right away. God help u. It will continue. Once a man raise his voice to u and hand on you. Lock that shit down right away. If you are not afraid of your father. Women dont be afraid of no man. Take him out right away. Don't give him a 2nd chance. Then your ass is grass. Much luv to all my sister. Luv yourself first before any man

It was self-defense all day!!

Why do women always leave when the guy gets home. Why not when they gone.

First red flag with that guy, 'I'm 32...why?'....immediately on the defense that would have made me concerned right away.

She Defended Herself And Her Friends/Family Shouldn't Be Locked Up For That

Domestic violence doesn’t involve a particular color these comments 🤦🏽‍♀️ Nd a male could also be going through domestic violence as well...ppls brains can not be this shallow on topics like this!!

He’s a good actor

If hes divorced twice and fuckin 32 then he god damn deserves the shit he went through!

She responded to domestic violence with blood. “With blood” refers to killing someone as an answer to a bad situation. Hence, she took justice in her own hands.

Ummm it’s called self-defense... how she locked up?

That’s a psychopath

HE didnt change. THIS is who he really is.

ONE time would do it for me. He'd be a DEAD man. I DO NOT play that ish. I DO have a temper too. Period.

Married twice before? 🚩🚩🚩 I'll keep watching tho

The father did not like him. Now I know why. I have a daughter.

Believe me when I tell you that even a man that's 52 and never been even engaged is not worth your time. I broke it off because he was verbally, physically and psychologically abusive. I see now why no woman will stick with those type. He will die a lonely old man.

When she said what happened to us I felt that 😔😞the ending tho that not fair 💔

Andre would have gotten a good ole pot up side the head. Great film !

Word of advice any body smack me in my kitchen with my knife drawer is a dead person.

Gary so proud of you. This looks scary but needed today. Excellent job!

It's sad it had to resort to her going to jail over spousal abuse

Hes been married 2 times

The first abusive thing my ex done to me was throw an Indian takeaway over me. I was so shocked and hurt at his behaviour. I forgave him but I was so confused and didn’t realise I was pregnant at the time so I was very emotional. Anyway I should of left his ass then but I didn’t and the abuse only got worse and worse until it was unbearable and I had to leave. I hope anyone out there that’s in an abusive relationship will get out now!! Please. It never gets better. You deserve to be happy. 💕💜❤️

Girllll that Bun still stayed in place after that smack 😮✋👀

Her voice is so soft and pretty, n she's so beautiful❤😊

That was self defense lol

Wtf she shouldn't of gone to Jail, She just snapped as she couldn't take being smacked around anymore. A person can only take so much

But she shot him in self defense

I feel like this film is missing like 10 scenes in between all the ones that are shown. needed to be more like 20 minutes with proper build up

Whenever I watch something like that, I wish more parents would send their daughter to martial art classes from a young age. Teach them that girls aren't fragile little things who can't defend themselves in front of a man... Yes men will always have more muscles, but body conditioning, flexibility, technique, discipline and self-confidence taught with martial art would compensate for this little disadvantage...

When he slapped her I said “ OH HECK NO”

Damn Andre had a sexy voice "R.i.p🤧

Why he talking like that to his fiance!? She need to run! She don't need that abuse...

I couldn’t agree more with the woman father in this when he said there is something funny about this guy

Shes probably going to jail for murder because she never reported him hitting her. Sometimes they require you to report it.

That was powerful man. Well written and the directing was amazing. I look forward to more of your films

Oh hecks nawh he would have had me fucked up from when he had that whole attitude and smart comment!

Why are most of these comments talking about race? Any and every race can be abusive or victims to abuse.

I'm 32 why? Seriously?? My parent: i think you are rude,take your shoulders down

Oh no i would have made him eat that food that he through on the floor and walked out of the kitchen gracefully.

I can't do it. Hell and jail are not worth it. Gotta go

This is Pure BS whhyyyyyyy do women have to go to Jail for trying to Protect themselves.????!!!!!

Reason why he's not ready for commitment

AND HE WOULDN'T HAVE HAD THE CHANCE TO HIT ME OR TAKE HIS FRUSTRATION OUT ON ME

l don't care if he is having a bad day it is not ok for him to put his hands on her she deserves better.💯💯

self defense, not murder, but sadly many get charged for it anyways

It won’t happen again that’s what they always say

You did a great job with this film Gary

the way he grabbed his hand tho

Now how in the hell is she doing time for murder and she killed him in self defense I bet. That guy was beating her ass first. This is bullshit. Hopefully she won't have to do a lot of time though

I wonder if she finds out exactly why the two marriages ended in divorce. Probably because of his cruelty.

I had a ex tell me have his dinner ready when he come home . well when he got home there was a box of cereal with a jug of milk on the table and I told him to get his own God damn spoon and enjoy your dinner...He broke up with me 😞😊

Damn. He wanna kill her parents and her friends?

he sound black i like his voice

Will not be watching this self defense is not murder she did not deserve to go to jail

I've been here. Stayed for 13 years...trying and trying. First I stayed because I was naive. Then I stayed thinking I could change him. By then I had become accustomed to it. Next thing I knew, I was pregnant. Thought that having a daughter would change him. Nope. First picture of my daughter was nursing her but all I see is the huge scar on my breast next to her little face from where he had gouged a chunk of me during a fight. Finally left when he tried to hit me when I was holding my baby. That wasnt the end though. I tried and tried some more. Even to the point that I started to drink just to be able to handle the constant verbal assaults. Finally, God gave me strength to stop trying. My beautiful daughter is now 15. Im in a healthy relationship with a wonderful man who loves us both! No fussing, cussing or ducking! Im 43 now and even though its been years, I still have the physic as l reminders but the worst is the mental aspect. I work on this part and Im not sure it will ever resolve but, all thats over now.

Would never talk to or treat a woman like that
