[SPOILERS]The first instance is when Tommy is running across the cell tower field and he falls down and vomits. You can’t really hear or see much and it’s easy to miss if you’re not paying attention. It happens again offscreen during the birthday party scene at the bar—after Hugh says “are you trying to fuck me?” skip forward about 10 seconds. The third time is after he leaves his dad’s apartment, he pulls over and runs out of the car. There’s no audio and you can’t really see anything cause it’s dark and far away. The last time is after the sex scene, it’s offscreen but there’s slight audio. After Hugh walks away to the bathroom skip about 15 seconds. There’s also a scene at the awards show bathroom where it is implied that Hugh threw up but nothing is shown.

If you’re sensitive to domestic abuse, Hugh and Tommy’s relationship could potentially be triggering, however the physical violence that goes on within their friendship is not intended to be seen as abusive or evil.
Hugh and Kane’s relationship on the other hand is domestic violence. If this triggers you, I recommend skipping the scene at the birthday party after Hugh “sees” Tommy. Later skip the scene where Hugh goes to Kane’s apartment and says “I’m out” to about 2 minutes later when they’re back at Julian’s house.
Edit:
Hugh also tells Julian to hit him multiple times during an argument. Nothing ends up happening but it did catch me off guard.

Domestic violence from a partner. Tommy is beaten badly by his dad. Hugh and Tommy beat each other up in a playful way.
When Hugh is on the red carpet he has rocks thrown at him and then acid is thrown on him at another event.
