Conservative media host and commentator Steven Crowder can be seen on a Ring Camera video berating his wife Hilary, who was at the time nearly eight months pregnant, and demanding that she handle medicine for his dogs that she was concerned was toxic to pregnant women. In the video, he snaps at her to put on her gloves to give his dogs medicine, walk the dogs, and otherwise "perform wifely duties," as she is clearly emotionally distressed.

notable bits:

crowder filed for divorce

he was not present for the birth of his children

he moved out like before they were even home really

he was clearly abusive the whole time

    I wonder if this was a form of emotional abuse. Threaten divorce to try and cow the victim into compliance. That is a pretty stupid bluff all considered - but I could see it being effective with someone otherwise indoctrinated with religious expectations around marriage and reactionary attitudes about gender roles.
