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

'You're dead to me,' - easily a joke.

'You're dead,' - and said when annoyed and literally making a fist and raising it just a minute earlier doesnt sound so funny.

He adds the 'to me' when he realises his error. You can practically see the moment his brain realises what he's said so he quickly adds on 'to me'.

He's never been on my radar so don't have any opinions on him previously but those clips were uncomfortable.

Kyliesgoldshorts · 15/04/2020 13:36

I’ve never liked him.

BreastedBoobilyToTheStairs · 15/04/2020 13:36

Well she's defending him and saying there's no issue.

Would you expect anything else?

If there's no issue then of course she'll defend him, and hopefully this is a wake up call to think about how their relationship looks to the general population and it's potential to normalise abusive behaviour. If for no other reason than to protect MBs image and livelihood.

If there is an issue she isn't going to go to the media with it during lockdown in response to some online chatter is she? What else could she say other than 'no he isn't abusing me' unless she was ready to cut and run? If he is abusing her it's unlikely he'd let her stay silent on the subject.

It's a horrible situation all around.

I don't understand what you are all seeing, I just see a couple mucking about? I guess if you've have been abused you probably see things differently? He's taking the mick out of her for being late, the reactions on here seem overly dramatic?

I've never been in an abusive relationship before and that's exactly why the behaviour strikes me as disturbing. I cannot imagine why he'd berate her for being late to something so trivial as a live stream and then bang on about having to "lie" (over-dramatising language) to other people because she's always late. She's a mother to 3 kids FFS, of course she can't be punctual for everything.

In a healthy relationship, he'd entertain the audience a bit and the move right onto the stream once she joins. Having watched lots of couple vlogs/streams on Youtube, there is something absolutely not right about their dynamic.

ilikemethewayiam · 15/04/2020 13:37

I’ve been watching them all and I’ve been thinking the same. He calls her stupid and ugly in one of the vids I watched. At the end of one when he thought no one could hear, he was heard saying, ‘I’ll kill you’ twice. He admitted in an article a long time ago that he had real problems and wad in therapy for it. Doesn’t look like it’s helping. He will argue that it’s banter but those of us that have been through violent abusing relationships know it’s not.

DontStandSoClose · 15/04/2020 13:38

Escape plan? Jesus Christ. If she wanted to leave she could and take half his fortune, then ruin him. I think mumsnet need to calm down. This woman doesn't have to stay with him if she doesn't want to, lockdown or otherwise.

maddy68 · 15/04/2020 13:40

Omg. I honestly can't see anything here other than a normal couple and that's how they interact. It's humour , she was baking and was late. If she was worried or felt controlled she wouldn't have been doing that.

ceejay54321 · 15/04/2020 13:41

He says “I’ll kill you”??? And calls her stupid and ugly? This is awful. In NO WAY can this be seen as ‘banter’ or acceptable.

There are people who can see, understand and grasp it...and then there are those that can’t.

It’s really clear as day to anyone who knows and understands.

PatchworkElmer · 15/04/2020 13:42

Appreciate that others on here think otherwise, but watching this made me feel really uncomfortable and concerned for her.

Mummyoflittledragon · 15/04/2020 13:43

The fist at about 1 min 30 shortly before she arrived was awful as well. Yes, she slapped him in another video. Doesn’t mean he isn’t violent with her. He seems pretty demeaning to her. All I can say for sure is there’s very blurred boundaries.

BreastedBoobilyToTheStairs · 15/04/2020 13:43

Incidentally, I think a lot of the reactions here demonstrate exactly why a lot of people suffering dv don't come forward.

When an abuser has everyone won over because he's a 'good guy' people aren't as likely to clock the micro expressions, aggressions, and more subtle abuse. He's also more likely to be able to explain it away.

'Oh I just love her so much I want to be close to her!' Rather than 'I need to control where she is so I'm holding her tightly to make sure she can't escape'.

I can imagine that plucking up the courage to tell someone you are being abused and then having them say you're overreacting is devastating. Thanks to anyone that is going through, or has been through, abuse.

ceejay54321 · 15/04/2020 13:43

So he has elbowed her, said “you are dead to me”, said “I’ll kill you” and called her stupid and ugly. He’s taken shots of women and body shamed. And people are saying this is ok???

Mummyoflittledragon · 15/04/2020 13:44

maddy
I don’t agree. She’s feisty. Very feisty. Not everyone capitulates.

Ninkanink · 15/04/2020 13:44

A lot of people have very mixed up boundaries, or don’t really have the capacity to understand quite clear nuance and context.

RedRedScab · 15/04/2020 13:46

Frightening that a couple of people on here can't see that's an abusive relationship.

WeAllHaveWings · 15/04/2020 13:46

So much projection go on here, dh and I have been together for 26 years, both very happy and we mess around like that, or worse.

Even if it is meant in jest, people in the public eye should not behaving in a way that could give the message that elbowing, slapping or using abusive language (you’re dead to me) is ‘ok’.

They are acting naturally for them from their home giving playful digs, of course they cant be abusive and he isn't being abusive. Couples do act like this, it is completely normal. You don't know them so don't turn it into abuse through projection of your own experiences with an abusive partner.

Manyminieggs · 15/04/2020 13:46

That's absolutely chilling. With the sound off it's awful, the elbow, the way he looks at her and pulls her roughly, and her face. I completely recognise that 'oh shit but got to smile' look. It's so plainly clear. And then I put the sound on. Bloody hell. The tiny voiced 'oh my god I'm so sorry' was awful. This isn't nothing. It's a collection of micro things that give a VERY clear picture.

SebandAlice · 15/04/2020 13:46

Just showed this to my husband. He's not the most astute at times but his immediate reaction was "He's a massive douche and is probably abusive"

So glad you managed to get a man’s opinion Hmm for us little ladies.

SebandAlice · 15/04/2020 13:47

Bold fail

Mangosocks · 15/04/2020 13:48

This woman doesn't have to stay with him if she doesn't want to, lockdown or otherwise.
Telling an abuser you're leaving is terrifying and one of the most dangerous times, whether you're abuser is Joe blogs or a famous shit Frank Sinatra wannabe.

LookTheOtherWayPlease · 15/04/2020 13:49

It makes me uncomfortable to see so many Buble fangirls out online with comments like "Do you know what their wonderful perfect marriage is like from a 5 second clip????? NO YOU DO NOT!!!!! I'll THANK YOU for not speaking on things YOU DO NOT KNOW ABOUT!!!' I'm paraphrasing, but that's the gist.

We must not question whether Michael Buble may be a bit of a dick to his wife, because they are too invested in seeing him as the perfect man, probably using Luisana as their fantasy relationship self-insert. How dare we threaten their pretend marriage!

Cam77 · 15/04/2020 13:49

Thats worrying.
He tries to say "Hi guys, I'm Michael Buble" in Spanish and she says "Hello" over him, at which point he kind of elbows her then grabs her. There was nothing funny being said or going on. He was clearly just extremely irritated that she was speaking "over" him. Rather than a little sigh of exasperation/raised eyebrows as might be normal he quite aggressively elbows her and grabs her. Seems a nasty piece of work.

ceejay54321 · 15/04/2020 13:49

Completely disagree - imagine if Joe Wicks (v popular at the mo) - behaved like that with his wife. People all over the world watch that video - and are getting the message that speaking to your partner like that is ok.

He has always been vile. Everyone has always dawned over him, especially after his X factor guest performances when he always very clearly under the influence. Never saw the appeal and now this.
