The beginning of the confrontation was cut off. They filmed the red van until the physical altercation was already in progress, he was standing in her doorway, apparently blocking her entrance to her residence. She was yelling, started toward her door, then red van, then physical altercation of her pushing him out of the doorway and her entering her residence alone.

Why was he standing at her door when they are already in the middle of a divorce?? Why go to her home at all unless invited? He had lawyers and plenty of money, and can use other resources to make contact, like this miraculous invention the call a telephone. Email also works well in divorces, not to mention the tried and true snail mail.

If he doesn't live there anymore, he should not be there on the property antagonizing her. And there is no sound. I can see her yelling at him, and I can only assume she was saying, get away from my house! If she was coming at him screaming that she did not want him around her, he should have left unless he was seeking out a confrontation with her.
