According to the victim's post, the boyfriend came over to her place after drinking. While they were trying to download a movie on her laptop so they could watch a movie together, the boyfriend broke the laptop because he was annoyed by how slowly 0the movie was downloading. When the victim started to cry because she was shocked, instead of comforting her, he stated, "I don't like that you're crying," and hit her in the face.
