Not really, but Audrey talks/sings about how she deserves the abuse from Orin and she wont leave him because she wouldn't be able to find another boyfriend who would be willing to date her.

Audrey, one of our main protagonists, is shown to be verbally and physically abused by her boyfriend. this is a big plot point, as she sings the song somewhere that's green a song about wishing she was with Seymour instead as he is good to her.

Audrey Two tries to bite a woman's behind. It's implied Orin sexually abuses Audrey. Audrey Two lifts Audrey's dress and some of the dialogue in that scene is reminiscent of a rape scene.

No mention of him being diagnosed with anything. Hes just abusive. Sociopath is a loose and bold term to use about a bad person and really paints how ableist people believe violence and uncaring = mental illness.
