Idk what u were reading but that slap was the antithesis of gentle
I'm not saying he was gentle. I meant that the overall reaction wasn't below what would normally happen. And whether it's alright or not for him to slap DG, it was well deserved, the punch also. I mean it could have ended way worse than that, overall he tried to control himself and treated DG with the most respect that he could.
*was below
Pro-tip: if u think violence is ok in any instance other than self-defense then I can't help u
"Pro-tip" : if you can't see thatta slap is way better than a beat down, which is what would probably have happened in most of the cases then you're living in a bubble.
I really don't see why people were angry with Alex, I mean he was gentle to me. Most people would have acted out more (yelled, fight, threw a tantrum) in this situation. And the excuse DG gave was totally stupid, at which point did Alex say you were involved romantically?? Never, he even sat you down recently to get things clear and if I remember properly, I think he said to DG at the beginning that it was material for his show. It would have been me, you'd have messed up my livelihood like that and throw me that pity of an excuse, not to mention sneaking around in my stuff (stuff you purposely know I'm sensitive about), I've never spoken to you again after that, you wouldn't even get a glance from me. Don't you all react on emotion like what he did was because he was in love. That's a loose canon. A big red flag. Someone messes with important things to you for pity parties, you need to be cautious with or resolve it asap. That's reality.
