Didn’t Amanda hit Kyle on an episode…

I am genuinely trying to understand the narrative around Kyle and Amanda. Many redditors and people in general focus on Kyle's behavior, but Amanda hit him multiple times on camera correct? If that is what she was comfortable doing in front of everyone, it raises fair questions about what happens when cameras are not rolling.

Let’s be candid for a second if the roles were reversed and a man hit a woman on camera, there is no way he would still be on the show, let alone given the space to continue his storyline or pursue other relationships.

I believe people are better than their worst moments. But ignoring one side while amplifying the other is not the fairness that I believe bravo is trying to portray. It is a double standard and when that becomes normalized in media, it is worth calling out.
I also find it odd no one is worried about West' safety in terms of domestic violence in reference to Amanda. I have yet to see a comment even describing that sentiment.

In fact I need someone to tell me what Kyle has done to Amanda that she has not done to him? She has said “f$&k you” to him numerous times. Then her friend say he shouldn’t talk to you like that, but you can definitely tell him “f$&k you….”
