obviously you can't put your hands on anyone else, but i also think you can't just record a person and badger them for content for your radio show?

He could’ve just walked out. I remember Adam Driver had told interviewers he did not like watching clips of himself and then said interviewers put clips during the interview and he got angry and left.

It's a radio show so I didn't interpret it as video recording, but rather audio recording.

I have no idea what Aussie law is on recording someone without their consent, but if Jacob asked him to a) not record and b) delete/not use what was recorded without his consent, then I do think it's wrong for the radio guy to keep recording and badgering him about not stopping. And sure it's a sexual question directly related to the movie but it's a gross line of questioning?

I wonder why he didn't play the audio if it really was that Jacob just flew off the handle with no provocation? Maybe the police told him not to, to be fair.

IDK there's no excuse for physical violence, but I do think the story as the radio guy told it really undersold how intrusive and aggressive it could be to be approached with a recording and being badgered with sexual questions.

he wasn’t at a radio show, he was at a hotel on his private time and the guy went there and waited for him and approached him

[anterrabre]

Except he was chilling at a hotel (my guess is the bar/lounge area) minding his business when this person approached him with cameras, shoved a Tupperware container in his arms demanding his bathwater (his cum, let's be real here) and refused when Jacob asked him to cut it out and delete the footage. Not saying he should have laid hands but this dude fucked around, found out, and is trying to get publicity over the incident. Team no one, but especially not for that asshole.

Yeah like Elordi should not have resorted to violence but the man sounds like a total disrespectful dick. And I doubt he’s being honest as to the words he was using when he was asking for his bathwater. Agreed team no one here

[peddlestools]

he walked out of a fresh air interview! where the renowned host had provided noise cancelling headphones while they play the clip.

adam driver is a baby.

[fernandocolunga]

agreed, but if your first thought of getting out of a situation is by getting aggressive uhmmmm maybe try to deescalate by just removing yourself from the situation first?

[cautionwalrus]

No offense but uh, yeah you can put your hands on someone else in certain cases. I think violence is sometimes very warranted, if it’s reactive/in self defense

Had a dude non stop sexually harassing me and a friend of mine (we were both injured), nobody would help us in a crowd. He kept leering and physically getting in our space. I snatched the glasses off his face and threw them into the crowd. He started spitting in my face and I punched him. Are people just expected to take non stop harassment without defending themselves?

[bluesforgotten]

i agree with the way you put this. a better way to express my thoughts would be something more nuanced about self-defense and provocation. thanks!

But like first instinct was to choke the other party???
