Michael Buble and his wife. Shocking video.

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

🙄🙄 those of you who compare this to ‘affectionate banter’ within a respectful and properly loving relationship are either being disingenuous or obtuse.

Further, trying to dismiss very valid concerns as projection is ridiculous, and just shows how absolutely clueless you are.

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.

You're projecting too... Your DH acts like that and he is not abusive, and so therefore it can't ever be a sign of abuse?

I’m another one who just sees this as a messing around kind of relationship. Some couples rib each other or even snipe at each other and wrestle a bit. She slapped his face - an unlikely action for an abused woman to do towards her abuser!

I see no red flags.

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

She literally says "I am lucky not to suffer". No, the very lowest expectation you should have of marriage is that you won't suffer. That should be a given. I hope it's a translation issue.

Is it this couple where they didn’t speak each other’s language when they got together, and it moved v fast?

This woman doesn't have to stay with him if she doesn't want to, lockdown or otherwise.

Go and have a look at the stats that show the very significant increase in risk to a woman's life when she leaves her abuser then come back and tell everyone how easy it is for a woman to 'leave and ruin' her abuser.

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

Lots and lots of people don't want to know and/or understand. He's famous, relatively good-looking etc. etc., nobody wants to believe he is just as capable as Nigel down the street.

Don't forget, an equal number of people will minimise anything a man does. Look at the glee with which certain people post because she "slapped" him in another video. They will do anything to deflect attention from violent misogynistic men.

It's really hard to tell anything from just a few seconds of video in which this kind of 'joking' appears to be the 'norm' for their relationship. But whe combined with Buble describing himself as a violent child and someone who, even now, struggles to contain his anger - this seems to warrant a darker interpetation.

@CCaK slimy Christmas bastard 😭😭😭😭😭😭

SebandAlice - oh grow up, what a ridiculous comment.

I quite liked him until seeing those videos. I found the second one even more disturbing, he clearly was fuming and not joking about.

Her face was shocked. His was fucking nasty.

How the fuck did he think putting that out there was a good idea.

I think what I find disturbing is that there doesn't seem to be pleasure from her side - she's not enjoying 'the bants' she just glosses over it with no reaction.

To me, that feels more like a walking on eggshells reaction than how I would react in my non-abusive relationship. I would engage with a broad grin, and similar back if it was fun, or a cross frown and admonition if it wasn't fun.

Anyone thinking the way he said 'you're so dead to me' was in any way serious or sinister or indicative of abuse in their relationship, must be so unperceptive that I don't even know how you manage to have any relationship with anyone! Is this the way we are going with things now- that everything we say to each other has to be black and white and cut and dried.

I don’t see an issue.

Hmm it's tricky. I do think it's very difficult to make accusations from such a small but of footage, and I do think it's possible that the second clip is just him trying to be funny and joking, although he does seem to be seething.

But that first clip is weird. The way that he seems to be like 'what the fuck are you doing talking over me, you know I talk first, I need to show off my brilliant Spanish', like it matters if she chimes in with 'hello'? And then she says 'oh my god I'm sorry'. And obviously the elbowing, the pulling her in, the filthy look, her then just smiling.

It definitely sets off alarm bells. But it could be nothing?

And the banter about her being late- my DH and I have the mock serious conversations about how long it takes me to get ready all the time- and I tase him about stuff too- no grinning-and he is as far from abusive as anyone could get!

How the fuck did he think putting that out there was a good idea.

It looks like it's an Instagram live story?

It’s a live video. That’s why he’s having to self censor...

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

DH and I mess around and banter and wrestle a bit but never, ever in anger. It’s a fun, affectionate thing between us.

The way the smile drops out of her eyes in the first clip made my stomach drop.

I’d heard of him, and seen him on Graham Norton a couple of times but don’t know anything else about him. But seeing him on that first video was actually shocking. His wife has that look on her face where she’s been put in her place. She looks scared and chastened. Hope she is okay.

So it’s ok for all the young fans to see a video of their idol elbowing his wife, saying you’re dead to me - and I’ll kill you. If many of us adult posters can’t see that it’s ‘banter’ - what will it say to them?

I've watched a lot of their videos and I think they just joke around like this. He often talks about how she is so much smarter than him. And she playfully slaps him a lot. Sometimes she bosses him around too and he calls her boss. I think her 'oh my god I'm sorry' was a joke which is why she smiled so big afterwards.

He seems like a man with a temper. Very obvious in the 2nd video with the hostile berating of his wife, angry expression and clenched fist. Not good. That arm lock always makes me uncomfortable as she cant move. 1st video isn't good. She looks defeated.
I'm sure she has to walk on eggshells to appease his temper. Adapt to his moods. He seems perfectly nice in other videos but with an aggressive side she will never feel 100% comfortable as she has to judge his mood all time.
