TW: domestic violence. Friend A (M) has been a target of physical abuse in their relationship. Friend A couldn't take it one day and hit Friend B (F). Friend B now acts like a victim

I know both friend A & B. But one day i saw friend B posted on social media that friend A punched her. I was at in disbelief because I know how friend A is like.

I then understand from that Friend A that Friend B did physical abused him before and have been sending harsh texts (aka verbal abusing) like asking him to GND, saying he’s worthless, etc. probably going on for 2 years or so.

I do agree that Friend A shouldn’t lay hands on her but now this Friend B blew things up and posted everything on social media and it went viral and people thinks she’s the victim?

Out of curiosity, people who went thru domestic violence or any form of distress - do you post it on social media straight or would you cool down and rationalise things before blowing things up? Somehow I feel her social media posts/ stories are to garner attractions to go viral? Because she has been trying to do videos previously to go viral but seems that only this getting punched by someone video went viral..
