Yeah, that didn't make any sense.
Unless Michael realized that Keith could whoop his ass if he wanted.

I think someone who was actually old enough to see Good Times when it was being filmed in front of live audiences said that there was a scene where Michael begun to walk menacingly towards Keith, as if he were going to kick his ass, but Thelma stopped him. I think they said this scene was cut out in syndications... I also think Bernadette herself said that the producers thought that Thelma needed to handle Keith on her own to show she was a grown mature adult....

The only problem is that Thelma had already run to the room so she could not have stopped Michael.

Yeah that was crappy writing, Even JJ did nothing and he's the older brother.

I can't ignore that either. SMH at the writing there.

It's very unlikely any relative would stand by and watch a woman get slap by a man, whether it was her uncles, brothers or sisters lol

A real man would have intervened.
