Michael Buble and his wife. Shocking video.

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

This whole live streaming of domestic stuff... I feel old!

I've just watched this for the first time and without the sound on...his face says it all when he suddenly tries to back track after elbowing her. Nasty little shit!

I don’t know I don’t know!!!
Ok the elbow vídeo I did not like but her reaction kind of tells me she was not scared or bothered, a “perdona cariño” very natural.
Second video he is angry. However, when she comes she is all oh, I was making cupcakes for the boys...
being from her culture, the elbow thing is a normal thing to do. I have been here in the U.K. for so long though that it caught me eye. But it is certainly something we would do back home as a normal thing.
When she addresses “her people” in the other video she sounds genuine but yes, he is definitely being so fakely over nice in those last two videos that one wonders.
Then the pause after “you are dead” is obvious to me, but they are a bilingual family and “te mato!” In certain contexts (I kill you) is something said as normal too.

All in all, no, I can’t judge from the videos at all.
And she slaps him... which is actually a lot less normal. Well, not normal really.

Slimy Christmas bastard

Not sure Buble has any ‘young’ fans!

I don’t think this is troubling for kids. About her being late - I think he’s joking but has an underlying exasperation about her being late. That doesn’t make him abusive and she seems unbothered.

Doesn’t she say ‘Oh my god, I’m sorry’?
Mmm could just be a playful push, but it seemed bloody hard and he seems irritated.

But is HE from her culture? No he is not.

@VisionQuest

Seriously why do you feel the need to post your husband’s opinion on here?

Wow. I’ve always been a fan of Buble but I’m seeing him in a whole new light after watching those videos.

Oh come on! How can anyone watch that second video and see 'hostile berating' going on? It's a joke! He's teasing her! His manner is no way hostile towards her- it's pretend annoyance done in good humour. FFS! The world's gone crazy!

The slap is in no way okay, but it’s also orchestrated. That video looked far more scripted. It’s amazing what people give away when they don’t mean to.

Slimy Christmas bastard

perfect description

Ugh, I've always hated him and his music. Now I know why. twat.

Oh my, that was horrible to watch just that split second where he shoves her angrily when she talks and then grabs her really aggressively to cuddle her and she looks pretty scared of him hope she's OK.

Think the worlds gone crazy if elbowing your wife and using abusive language (although he’s only joking of course!!!) is somehow seen as acceptable behaviour. Her slap is not acceptable either. And sorry - but I taught a class of 5 year olds who loved him. They’d be 15 now - and may WELL watch this (even if they are just looking back at a past ‘hero’).

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'.

This.

Why do you need to apologise so effusively 'Omg I'm sorry!!!' for simply saying hello first unless your partner is an egotistical control freak who feels diminished and threatened by you 'stealing their thunder'

Abusers have very fragile egos. Small innocuous things are seen as intentionally crossing the line. Small things that ordinarily do not even register in a healthy relationship. Over time you become really sensitive to when you've committed the 'fuck up' and end up forestalling an eruption by apologising for things that are frankly ridiculous in any other scenario.

All too familiar.

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?

Not by itself and, without knowing the couple in question, putting out there that he is abusive, she is abused, and the video is disturbing is ridiculous.

They have a very jokey relationship. They have been together for a long time and have been through a lot together. I have heard him be really self depreciating about her being with him. Lighten up.

Are these all the same people who saw an abusive father in the clip of the little girl interrupting her father when he was on telly, then the baby skidding in on the baby walker?

Some people see abuse EVERYWHERE. Quite scary really. Would hate to live like that.

I've always loved his music, but I must say those videos waves bright red flags to me. I was in a DV relationship and it just reminded me of my abusive ex.

I do think it's funny that he calls himself Miguel Burbuja in Spanish.

I’ve been in an abusive relationship and this is exactly the type of behaviour my ex would do in front of others.

I do not accept physical “checks” in a relationship at all now. I don’t do it with my children. It has no place in a healthy relationship. Not even as a joke because it creates a standard where when it goes to far from one person’s perspective (even if unintentional) the other person will always say “it was just a joke” (because it always has been previously) and it will go on too long before they pause to ask themselves if actually it is too far. The boundary should be clear.

Personally, I found both those clips very uncomfortable to watch. He comes across as a bully.

Ffs. Just stop.
They are having a laugh together!!!
As a pp said some people will see something in everything. Just stop it.

It's completely obvious he is an angry man. It's not the shove or the being frustrated at lateness so much as the barely concealed rage in his face. It's blindingly obvious and I'm surprised others can't see it. I've not been in an abusive relationship though my parents were unpredictable and could be angry and I do tend to be very vigilant of people's small responses and expressions, sometimes too much so. I don't think I am in this case though. Watch the first video once and it's not that clear, watch it again looking only at their expressions and it's fucking weird. The second one it's the classic simmering rage and you can see he absolutely believes she is a thoughtless shit and that he is justified in feeling such anger. The video of her slapping him isn't proof that he isn't abusive. Its not that uncommon for the woman in an abusive relationship to also sometimes push back physically or for it to be seen as 'both ways' when of course it is never evenly both ways if both parties are violent as the male can inflict far more damage.

But then thinking about it, it's not a surprise so many don't see it when you think how half of the relationship posts on here are women with no idea of boundaries who have endured shocking behaviour for years and thought it was normal.
