Who was Gabby Petito and what was her story?
He just shut up.
How many times did you slap him? Just a couple.
He got really frustrated with me, and he walked out of the car and told me to go take a breather, but I didn't want to take a breather.
She had his cell phone in her hand. That's why I was pushing her away. I said, let's just take a breather, and let's not go anywhere.

And the women in public, when questioned about it, especially by law enforcement, will often take responsibility for it out of fear that the aggressor, the man, in their relationship, will be more angry if they don't.
While Brian is speaking to police, an anxious Gabby is in the back seat of that police car.
