Any company would have responded just as quickly. This isn't some bs bullying rumors or dating. This is domestic violence plus there's evidence of injury and police reports etc. No company would defend this.

Good for the group + company, he’s an adult, his action is not his group/company responsibility. It’s a wise move to dumped him as soon as possible to protect the group. This criminal not only abuse his GF, he choked her till unconscious and she would have died if there’s no good strangers helped her, that’s murder attempt!! I hope he’ll rot in jail 🤬🤬🤬
