It's been made to sound more physical than Mick said it was. I just had to get that off my chest.

And when Stevie first mentioned it, she did not say that he kicked her either. She said he did something to her. My impression was that he was behind her and she knew that he was doing something unwanted, but she couldn’t see him and couldn’t say. She did not feel a kick or she would have described it as such when she first told the story. He might have been catching at the hem of her dress, flicking his foot, something disruptive certainly, not violent.
She knows how to describe violence when she wants to, “Remember when you threw that Les Paul at me?”
