And she didn't realize she was using the word pervert in the wrong context. She thought she could use the word pervert in that context, since she said it meant "doing something unpleasant"

i speak english(native), spanish(kind of native since my mom teached me as a child) and french
and you knw in spanish the word "Pervert" is translated as "pervertido"
it even SOUNDS VERY SIMILAR AND IS PRONOUNCED VERY SIMILAR, IT HAS THE SAME MEANING
so him claiming he doesn't know english well and that's why he used that word "out of context" is like is such a lie
he knew EXACTLY what he was saying, trust me, i speak english and spanish well enough to know that word is not one of the group that can get mixed up in translation
