the
incident
was
staged
until

began
to
say
"keep
my

out
your
f****ing
mouth.
When

Chris,
he
slapped
all
of
us.
He
really
slapped
me."

added,
"You
reacted
to
your
wife
giving
you
the
side-eye
and
you
went
and
made
her
day

she
was
mulled
over
laughing
when
it
happened." Rose

on

and

that
the

have
reached
out.

feel
really
bad
that
he
never
apologised.

I
apologise
to
Chris

you
see
something
like
that
is
personal,
you

out."
