Good, she had it coming. If you read the Russian commenters explanation, she had been spitting on him, cursing him and hitting him for some time. The show's hosts told her to stop, and she didn't. Eventually he had to take matters into his own hands.

Just ask yourself, would you be just as upset if it was a guy that he beat up? Equality is a bitch sometimes.

So if your mom/wife/girlfriend cursed at me and I broke her nose you would be fine with that?

Throwing her to the ground was enough. He didn't have to take it to the next step.

even throwing her on the ground was too much. spitting back at her and annoying her would have been enough.

Of course, just like if it were my dad/husband/boyfriend. As George Washington said, "Don't start none, won't be none."

Here is a question... why do people feel the need to bring up the idea of "hitting a woman" as taboo... If you expect equal rights, you should also expect equal lefts. You either hit nobody or all is fair game. That woman got exactly what she deserved.

You horrible people...

Look, just because she was taunting some chump on a gameshow trying to win a car doesn't mean she deserved to get her ass beat. Hell, even if she spit on him doesn't mean she deserved to get her ass beat.

She didn't hit him with her shoe, so far as I could see. She looked like she waved it in front of his face.

The measure of a person isn't how hard they can beat up someone who isn't as strong as they are. It's about how they can appreciate that they could easily kick the shit out of the person and do something else to resist the urge... unless your safety was in danger, of course. That isn't what equality is about, beating the shit out of someone you obviously could beat the shit out of, simply because they annoyed or disrespected you...

You are fucking awful people.

Personally, if i was in his position... I would have taken that shoe from her with force in one fast violent grab while using one hand. That would have hurt her enough. In the idea, so that's mine now and you are not getting it back. Because i would have wanted that car.

What i wonder about, is what happened to the other plateau heel ? Did she throw it at him ? I mean she must have had two of those heels when she started. I doubt that that guy would just explode like that for something little as spitting. But then again, he is on tv and he must guard his pride. I do think he went to far with the punch. The throw was stupid, he lost the game because of it.

The guy has a serious problem with how he handles his anger and what he did is not okay under any circumstances. He or his government needs to do something about it before he hurts someone else. It doesn't matter that she was annoying him, that was the whole point of the competition. If she was breaking the rules (it isn't clear from descriptions if it was the contestants or judges asking her to stop) then he should have used that to his advantage and waited for her to get disqualified. If he really can't take it anymore he should have dropped out. All that means is that he didn't have what it took for this competition, which he responded to like an angry child - but with the force of a dangerous adult.

But IMO people are too fixated on the sex of the victim. If it were a man of any sort of modest build the result would have been exactly the same; thrown to the ground with the same injury to the face. This wasn't a fist fight, it was a surprise attack that most people wouldn't have anticipated. There shouldn't be more outrage over a woman receiving the same injuries that a man would have. I'm sure some will think that it's worse when the target is a woman because it contributes to a culture of sexual violence or something, but I don't buy that.

Yeah, but men don't provoke each other the way that female did without anticipating a response, she was presumably immune from the consequences of her actions, and hence the greater degree of surprise and outrage.

If as a man you honestly think you could get away with such a list of provocations against a male stranger without being subject to aggression, you are living in a bubble.

Maybe in some other situation a woman would be more aggravating because she feels more safe from physical retaliation. But it's different here. The way that man responded wouldn't have been normal or expected if it was against another man. The provocation is clearly part of the game, and the reaction was in a controlled and monitored environment where consequences would be guaranteed.

Eh, like I said earlier, the female was likely a set piece, and the male contestant chosen specifically because he is prone to react that way. Not that they could have anticipated the ferocity of the assault, but I can guarantee you the showmen were hoping for some fireworks.
