It didn't look like she was a victim to me. And neither did it to you, given what you've just written. The whole edit, including the before and after, was fairly presented to remain ambiguous. The interpretation depended entirely on the filter the audience member was viewing it through, as we have both just demonstrated. Emotional manipulation of the audience. Story telling.
I'd also hazard a guess that it was partly edited from that camera to cut part of the audio or hide some gesture, maybe even an elbow as the editorial is that Gemma is the baddie. Or it was the only camera pointing in that direction.
