I agree, Scott, that no civilized man would hit her. I wouldn't have. But, it's important to note, for the safety of all females, that all men aren't civilized and some of them will kill just because of a verbal insult.
I try to teach the women (and men) in my life to be careful about what you say and do. You never know how someone will respond. Not knowing the nature of their relationship and of any possible long-term mental and physical abuse towards Ray on her part, it would be hard for me to ever believe she deserved to be hit in the face with a man's fist. But a smart woman doesn't put herself in that kind of jeopardy with irresponsible behavior, either. And the same goes for a smart man.
