That backhand made me cringe. There is no justification for any man to beat on a defenseless woman. I could care less what his motives were. He hit a woman and that is considered a brutal act of violence. He was going to brutally murder her with his hook as well.
I’m puzzled and disturbed that so many women watched a perfect example of violence against a woman and still continue to go on about how hot Hook is.
Important to note that Milah was not Hook’s spouse; she was Rumple’s. Just more proof about what a lack of conscience and morals Hook has as he showed no regard for Rumple or young Baelfire. He took what he wanted and felt no guilt or remorse regardless of the lives that were torn apart from his actions and then left behind.
He’s a creep and I for one will be cheering the day he’s laid to rest!
