Was my mother being a bully?

Anonymous
My mother treated my then boyfriend horrible to the point of actually making him cry. He was crying out of anger and sadness, out of shock that someone he treated with respect turned into a stabbing liar and fake person. He was also crying because he was trying to withhold whatever bad choice of words he wanted to tell her while she was directly insulting him (saying loser, stupid, etc) and arguing with him out of nowhere.

Things she did:
gossiping false things about him to everyone, trying to break us up, trying to set me up for a date, brag to other about how she make my boyfriend cry and imitated his crying, issues him a fake apology, resumed the fake smiles whenever he would visit, etc.

Present-day, we still talk and have spoken about possibly getting back together but the damage is unfortunately too much. He took my mother off his fb account because he doesn't want to deal with lying, fake people and is now convinced she'll never change.

Another thing that really piss him off is on that fake apology, my mother expected him to already forgive and forget all about it and move on as if nothing happened... while not fully acknowledging nor understanding what she did wrong, how hurt he was, etc.

What he really wanted to tell her at the time was this:
''go **** yourself lady, if I'm not good enough for you then no lying, fake person is worth my time either. You want me to prove I love your daugher? I have nothing to prove to manipulators. Why should I prove you wrong when you're a liar?
