It’s heavily implied that Thelma and Louise’s partners are abusive. Darryl, Thelma’s husband, threatens her and is overly controlling. Louise’s partner, Jimmy, is also violent. While confronting Louise, he throws objects and flips a table, then prevents her from leaving the room by slamming & holding the door shut.

SPOILER: Both protags are SA victims (either explicitly or implied) and both characters become criminal, tougher, and more violent, but they NEVER become sexual predators.

Many characters (including the two main characters) smoke tobacco cigarettes throughout the movie. Towards the end of the movie, a man in cycling clothes smokes a marijuana joint.

Thelma is physically assaulted, held down, and partially undressed by a man who is interrupted at the last second. All of this is shown onscreen.

Grey area; one of the main protagonists sleeps with a man despite being married, but she's made it clear she no longer wants anything to do with her husband.

There aren't flashbacks, but Louise is implied to have long-term trauma from a past sexual assault (which is not explained in detail or shown). She also vomits shortly after shooting a man, which could be a trauma response.

There's a graphic attempted rape scene early in the film outside a bar. Later on, in
hotel room, there's a consensual sex scene that leaves little to the imagination.

A major theme of this film is how women are unfairly expected to endure dehumanization and sexual harassment from men. A man sexually assaults Thelma early in the film. Throughout the film, Thelma and Louise repeatedly pass a truck driver who catcalls and makes obscene gestures toward them. Both men get their comeuppance from the main characters.

It's bittersweet. Thelma and Louise are cornered by cops and decide together to drive over a cliff. They're shown to be happy to die free rather than be gunned down or captured.
