Steven Crowder’s wife left him, because it is legal in America for your wife to leave you.

She’s decided to release selectively and deceptively edited CCTV footage to try to destroy his life.

Unfortunately for her, this video just makes Crowder look cool.

New York Post:

Disturbing new video shows conservative commentator Steven Crowder warning his then-heavily pregnant wife to “f–king watch it” — while berating her for not following orders to do “wifely” duties.

The Ring footage, released Thursday by journalist Yashar Ali on his Substack, shows a fight in the run-up to what the YouTuber has called a “horrendous divorce.”

While being berated, Crowder’s wife, Hilary, repeatedly tries to reassure her husband that she loves him and is “committed.”

“I love you … but your abuse is sick,” she told him at one point — with him warning sternly: “Watch it. Watch it. F–king watch it.”

Crowder reportedly admitted to later inside the house threatening his wife: “I will f–k you up.”

The nearly 3 1/2-minute video, from June 2021, starts with Crowder smoking as he berates Hilary — who was eight months pregnant with their twins — for not adhering to the “boundaries” he had set for her.

“You are not taking the car, because if you refuse to do wifely things then I will go pick up the groceries,” he tells his wife as she tries to leave their home.

His distressed wife quietly notes that they do not need groceries, and offers to pick up anything he needs while she is out.

Still, the influencer snaps: “I can’t go to the gym. I can’t go to my parents. I can’t call my friends. … Hilary, just think of how boxed in you’ve made me!”

As his wife breathes deeply and appears to fight back tears, the online personality tells her that “the only way out of it is discipline and respect.”

Again offering to get her husband’s grocery needs, Hilary says she needs “some space,” telling him: “I love you — I love you very much.”

“I don’t love you, that’s the big problem,” Crowder replies cruelly.

“And the fact is, when I go, ‘Look, I need you to do A, B, C and D,’ you should be disciplined about it, you go, ‘No!’” he complained — ordering her to “become worthy — wife worthy.”

“I love you. I’m committed to you,” his wife tells Crowder, who snaps: “Put on some gloves. Are you committed enough to do those things? … walk the dogs and put on some gloves.

“Are you committed enough to get the medication?” he asks, referring to what the report said was a treatment for the dogs that Hilary feared would be toxic for pregnant women.

Crowder admitted on audio to his “f–k you up” threat after the couple went inside the house, realizing he went too far, Ali said. Still, it was pivotal to his wife’s decision to finally file for divorce months later.

Before then, she gave birth to their twins in August 2021 — but Crowder “chose not to be with his wife during the birth of their twin children,” Hilary’s family told Ali.

Yeah.

Sure.

I’m sure this divorce is the man’s fault.

Because we see that so often, don’t we?

A local NGO has revealed the results of a long-running research investigation into how men justified domestic violence, based on interviews conducted with over 20,000 female victims of abuse, between 1995 and 2013.

The report prepared by Şefkat-Der, a civil association founded to help marginalized segments of society, showed that men would use a variety of excuses to justify both physical and psychological abuse toward their partners.

According the report quoted by daily Taraf, victims said that reasons ranged from them wanting to have an abortion to the defeat of the football team supported by the husband.

The report also cited “going outside without asking permission,” “calling the national domestic violence hotline,” “asking to continue their studies,” “refusing to give the salary to the husband” and “the meal not being prepared at fast-breaking time during Ramadan” as other frequent reasons used by men to justify violence against their wives.

Violent acts towards women included beating, strangling, burning with boiled water, burning with cigarettes, cutting with blades or wounding with knives. Psychological violence, including insults, threats and blackmail, was also frequently used.

Domestic violence remains one of the most salient social problems in Turkey as, according to the data released on Nov. 25 for the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, 802 women have been killed by their husbands in the past five years. More than 50,000 women have been protected from their husbands or partners with precautions such as restraining orders, mostly in Istanbul, Ankara and İzmir.

Experts also warned that official numbers only reflected the tip of the iceberg as thousands of women did not report violence for fear of the reactions of their families and relatives.
