Having watched some of their other videos, I’m concerned for her.

I’m not seeing it at all. They just seem to joke around a lot and it’s their humour. Obviously you never know what’s really going on in a relationship but I’m not seeing anything in these videos. My dad was very abusive and I think I’m good at picking up on people who are like this. I think some people want to make something of this but personally I don’t think these videos show anything other than two people who take the piss of each other.

Woah. Nasty and controlling slipped from behind his facade there. Not nice. Why is she smiling so much. He looks in a serious rage.

TheLadyAnneNeville · 15/04/2020 16:52

My mum didn’t leave because it was the 60’s. She wouldn’t have had the help available now, with two tiny children to care for/house/feed etc.

I didn’t leave because I didn’t want to admit defeat. I felt ashamed. I didn’t believe I could “do it” (look after my son) on my own.

I could. I did.

Mrs Buble will have her own reasons.

ScrimpshawTheSecond · 15/04/2020 16:55

Controlling body language is evident throughout. Arms round her, muscling her, pushing her, prodding her. It's all in one direction. Yes, that looks a worrying dynamic to me.

itispersonal · 15/04/2020 16:56

I think it's a storm in a teacup. They do these videos everyday and he always has his arm over her neck like that. They started these videos in their sons bedroom. She is recording to her phone and he is to his. I think the late comments is him being honest about her! The dig looks playful but sharp and probably more powerful than he wanted to.
Though I do think he is on drugs or had adhd tendencies.

Ivebeentohellanditscalledikea · 15/04/2020 16:58

I didn't say I didn't see the problem because I like mb can't stand his crap music. I just thought it looked like they were a jokey couple. I'm not long out of a 10yr abusive relationship so maybe my view of normal is a bit off.

Exactly. Her response doesn't indicate that she finds it playful or a joke. It's more like trying to brush off what happened, and not make too big a deal of it. A other posters have said, walking on egg shells, as she's worried it might make things worse.

Don’t think I copied that correctly. He says “I’m gonna kill you” - she says “why babe?” And he says again “I’m gonna kill you”. This is lockdown and the DV stats are up - yet they are making vids to encourage all to stay safe. How is this acceptable??

It's not good is it.
The arm wrapped right around her neck makes me wince. That's always a red flag to me.

ChandlerIsTheBestFriend · 15/04/2020 17:25

I didn’t leave because i didn’t think I had a good enough reason to. I thought if I told people he was mean and poked me, was heavy handed/rough with me (there was so much more than that but I didn’t really have the words back then to say what he was doing- it was the whole picture that was wrong) that people would laugh and say “don’t be ridiculous! You’ve got kids together- you can’t split up a family over that!” And in fact my mum did actually say “oh well we can all be a bit mean sometimes” when I told her we’d separated. I stayed far too long and it was behaviour quite similar to what was in the video above in front of some friends that was the final straw for me. By far not his worst behaviour (that was all behind closed doors) but I realised his public treatment of me was getting worse. He was becoming more confident about doing it in front of others which really scared me. So that’s when I ended it.

Josette77 · 15/04/2020 17:25

In other videos she has her arm wrapped around his neck and everyone looks happy.

ChandlerIsTheBestFriend · 15/04/2020 17:27

To put it bluntly- I thought that unless he deliberately punched me in the face (he’d punched me in the arms and legs many times as a “joke”/rough play) that I couldn’t call him abusive and people would think I was bonkers for suggesting he was.

SpanishFly · 15/04/2020 17:36

ceejay I think you've pasted a screenshot rather than the clip. That one is the worst, I watched it this morning.
When he thinks the camera has stopped, he literally says "I'm gonna kill you" twice. It's mind blowing

mathanxiety · 15/04/2020 17:36

Note how she keeps looking to him and smiling and keeping things nice and breezy while he doesn't respond to her cues and openly slags her off to his camera person and the audience. That is a woman trying to keep a man's mood from spiralling. Horrifying.

THIS ^

She is smiling so much in order to avoid the slightest provocation to him, Boredbumhead.

Reminds me of myself during the 1990s.

I googled if any previous reports existed and there’s several sites mentioning that first video and her defending him.

Dozer · 15/04/2020 17:43

The “mask slipping” fleeting expression is talked about in a lot of talks about liars and other nasty types.

Loads of red flags about MB in interviews his wife gave many years ago about how they met, how he pursued her etc. Sure, celebs often do dramatic things dating and marriage wise, but even by celeb standards his behaviour as reported by them both in interviews seems v weird.

It’s their relationship - what’s the point in debating what she thought of it? Only she knows that.

ChandlerIsTheBestFriend · 15/04/2020 17:54

Haha you lot get a fucking grip!! They're messing about. Granted not particularly funny but nothing sinister. God you're all freaks on here

I find your mocking of those with concerns about a possibly abusive situation (many of whom have experience of exactly what they’ve witnessed on the video and worse) highly inappropriate and totally insensitive. There is a way to disagree with what has been said without mockery or name calling of those who have opened up and shared from their own experience of being abused. Many of us have had our own abuse minimised by others and fear of being laughed at was the very reason I stayed and continued to be abused for so long. Behaviour like yours prevents Victims from escaping their abusers.

SharonasCorona · 15/04/2020 17:57

Yes that’s exactly what I thought when watching the video in the OP. The mask slipped for a second. I think we know instinctively when it happens, just like kids often have a sixth sense about adults they don’t like.

ceejay54321 · 15/04/2020 17:58

Not sure what’s shocking me more here - the videos or the people saying ‘it’s their business, they are messing about”. They are making YouTube videos encouraging us to stay safe in lockdown. He elbows her, in another video he states “I’m going to kill you”, in another he states “you’re dead to me”. He has posted on Instagram body shaming women. The DV stats are up in lockdown and it IS worth debating.
