Speaking exclusively to Briefly News, relationship expert and founder of Engaged Humans, Paula Quinsee said:
"Even if a relationship isn't official as in having a marriage certificate, any form of flirtation, public or other can cross emotional boundaries and cause feelings of disrespect and betrayal. It can also undermine trust and embarrass a partner, especially when under the public spotlight and or the incident is widely shared on social media or becomes meme material.
"Every relationship and couples is different, and flirtation can be seen as playful or hugely inappropriate which is why couples should agree on this type of behaviour upfront so they know exactly where they stand with each other."

"But to actually curse me out. To swear at me, call me names, call me a h*e, call me and say ‘yeah Usher definitely smashed', that is so wrong. guys, I’m someone’s mom."
