On live TV at the Oscars? That's absolute psychopath behavior.

> absolute psychopath behavior

What a bizarre thing to say. Look, he fucked up. He absolutely should not have done that. But going from "losing your temper and fucking up" to "absolute psychopath" is utterly bizarre.

This kind of no-empathy no-forgiveness to anyone who did anything criminal is just downright mean-spirited and cruel.

Well I'm not convincing you probably but I think you're downplaying the context. This wasn't a bar fight, this was the Oscars. He was in front of all his peers and being broadcast to 100M homes and makes his living off his reputation and had no compunction about hitting someone on stage. And no I can't make a clinical diagnosis from afar but suffice it to say he has a severe personality disorder that makes him unsafe to be around.
I don't think you understand what that word means and calling someone that for a very human-like response is cruel to say the least.

A spouse who is not faithful can do heavy damage on a person's psyche.

By definition, no it isn't.
