    Google broke their Advance Search and I can’t find anything past 11 months ago, but isn’t there footage out there of Kirk beating his wife or was that some other manosphere influencer?

      Stephen Crowder was one of them I think, not sure if it’s the same one you’re thinking of

        That’s who it was. All these types blend together.

      That was the change my mind guy. He was verbally abusing his pregnant wife. She was with twins so he was verbally abusing 3 people all at once. They have since divorced.

        I have always believed that video was the “shot across the bow” to get Crowder to shut the fuck up and let the divorce proceed. His wife wanted the divorce to move quickly and quietly, outside the public eye. Then Crowder got loud about it, announced it was happening on his podcast and basically said that he wasn’t going to agree to terminate the marriage.

        Next thing that happened was that video getting released. One video, one argument, verbal only, but it still clearly painted him as a piece of shit. In my mind, that video was the wife’s lawyers telling Crowder’s lawyers “We have all of the home security footage. Do you really want to battle this out in public?”

        Does anyone really believe that argument was the worst thing they could have released? Listen to how that man spoke to his pregnant wife and tell me you don’t think he ever got physical with her. They only ever released that one video. Crowder shut up about the divorce and that was the last of it.

      You might be thinking of Dana White. I don’t remember anything like that with Kirk.
