Sam used to slap him, throw things at him, etc. There's no denying that. The ironic thing about that though is that she hasn't been physical with Freddie in that way since way back at the start of season four. Since Sam and Freddie have gotten together, Dan has not shown Sam hitting on Freddie or anything like that and I think that was a concious decision by Dan.

Also, even in the earlier seasons when Sam was doing the things to Freddie that she was, it was meant for humor. People can argue that it wasn't funny or that it was wrong, but at the end of the day, it's purpose was humor. I think people who call seddie an abusive relationship are missing the point that a) since they've been in a relationship Sam hasn't done anything "abusive" towards Freddie and b) even when they were younger and she was physical with him, it was for comedy. It was NEVER portrayed as serious physical abuse and to interpret it as such is to forget that you're watching a kids comedy show. It also shows a complete lack of perspective.
