if he's that much of an asshole, he deserved the beer in his face. and to have his face broken by the bystanders.
Spoiled people think they can get away with cutesy shit. They can't. That's nothing more than necessity catching up to them.

Officers later reviewed a video and saw the female throw a liquid substance at the male actor. Female was checked by medics, before both actors were arrested. Both Male and Female were charged with Simple Assault,, to be later sorted out by magistrate... Sent to Domestic Violence Court..
it's a drink in the face. it's no big deal unless it fucks up something that matters, it MIGHT hurt his pride. hitting her is something completely different, and not okay, yeah, what she did was wrong. but what he did should not even be CLOSE to socially acceptable.
He could just of reciprocated in kind and go buy a beer to throw at her. It would be humorous. Or he could do something more, since she started it. Would it be an issue were she a male?
Depends. is she a male who has significantly less body mass than the other guy? if it were a gay relationship, and the guy who threw drink\got hit were the same size as that chick relative to the guy, then, yes, it would still be an issue if it were a guy the same size as the guy who did the violence? fuck no. but I don't think that guy would have hit someone his size.
