"When she addressed him at the bar, she raised her arm to defend herself, and he grabbed her arm and began pushing her. She raised her knee into his midsection to push him away and attempted to punch him, court records say, before Johnson punched her on the left side of her face."

She prolly called him the N word as well because Florida. She raised her arm to punch him, he grabbed it trying to defuse the situation. She put her knee into his midsection then tried to punch him. Yeah, her merely defended himself from an overly aggressive woman drunk of privilege. Looks like he held back being the gentleman he is.

*EDIT*

I in no way condone his actions but everyone wasn't raised to hit women. Especially someone that is so flagrantly disrespectful and quick to resort to violence. I would've walked away but this young man didn't.
