...Apparently you can

I'm quick to come to the defense of victims but this scene is victimless. I was disturbed but figured there'd be more to explain this so I did some digging (i.e. I called my cousin). Reports show that this is Mr. Carter's good friend Chaka Pilgrim, he works with her and plays with her (a little rough). Here, the two were slap boxing (which ought to be advised against when you're a celebrity) and the documentary "Backstage" shows the whole scene where immediately after the two hug and laugh. I've play-boxed with women before and never went this hard at their face, but that's just me. In a clip this short Mr. Carter is the real victim. Read:
