I by no means condone this stuff but I find it funny if a man smacks a woman they are considered a wife beater. I mean really ? If Gatti was a wife beater don't you think her face would kind of be destroyed. My brother had a similiar charge against him were she told the judge my brother punched her in the face. She then showed him a little bruise on her cheek. The judge simply smiled and said Ms. so and so I know this man,he has fought in the ring before what leads me to believe if he hit you you would have a little bit more than just a little bruise on your cheek. He simply dismissed the case. Point being here is Gatti was never charged with anything so she can say whatever the hell she wants. I know Gatti like to party but I don't see him as a wife beater but I could see him slapping her if she had a hot temper like the say.
