That's not affection in my opinion, it looks like fairly clear lowkey aggression / dominance assertion behaviour and I think if you could hear the exchange it would be very "tense".

IMO what happened is, the woman approached Gooding as a fan and had no problem with the encounter. The man who was with her DID have a problem with the encounter (jealousy, generally being an arsehole, etc.) and has said something at the time and then this has blown up from that point into her saying she was groped / assaulted in an effort to appease her controlling companion.

That's a lot of guesswork but it's the basics of what I can see in that video: She comes over enthusiastically, he engages with her briefly, there's no sign of discomfort or of there being a problem, and then a (drunk looking, IMO) male appears from the sidelines and behaves in that passive-aggressive drunken attempt at intimidation that I'm sure anyone who has ever spent much time in a bar or club knows all too well.

Because that's the uncomfortable truth about the VAST MAJORITY of false sexual assault allegations that do exist. The false report is made because a boyfriend or partner has discovered something that happened consensually, and the woman has claimed that there wasn't consent out of fear of what an aggressive and dominating partner will do if they find out the truth.
