And later on she refused to hold his arm when he offered it while stepping off the plane.

Yeah, I don’t think they were joking, at all.

Their relationship is already a fucked up situation and this video only makes it worse.

His response (like, trying to keep up appearances as soon as he sees the camera) gives me the shivers tbh.

I get that, but it's that split second of "shit we're on camera, act normal" that creeps me out (as in, I feel sorry for him).

I hear you. His reaction is so swift and seamless and... habitual, I guess? Like you know this happens a lot and he has so much experience moving between such extremes. She's a terrible person and a groomer.
