Intentional I agree, but defensive. Not a “hit” at least not from what I’ve seen but a block. She had the right to attempt to grab the mike but at some point she is over her pay grade and steps back to let a security guy handle anything more physical. He’s an ass but he wasn’t the physical aggressor.
You’re contradicting yourself. The only thing he was defending was the microphone, not himself, and he made two downward moves with his left arm that shove her arm down to break her hold on the mic. That is the definition of aggression since she was not striking at him.
You can’t maintain that two opposing premises are true. Either she was rightfully trying to take the mic back and he aggressively knocked her arm away or he didn’t. If he didn’t then why would security have to intervene?
