Not on screen, but it is implied that one of the antagonists may have been physically violent toward a domestic partner when their 'rap sheet' is read to an FBI agent. It is also implied that the other antagonist was physically abused by her former husband, as she states that her son reminds her of him after she screams when her son approaches from the shadows.

Though the premise of the movie is a sting operation/undercover deception, it is not exactly gaslighting. However, it leads to many women being misled about the protagonist's identity.

No, but a mannequin representative of a Miss USA contestant is burned by explosives, which is meant to be unsettling.
Later, a replica of the Statue of Liberty has it's head exploded by an incendiary device that was meant to kill Miss USA contestants.

The movie is about the FBI, but it's somewhat of a parody of police work, not copaganda, but not necessarily disrespectful to police either. There is even one scene where an agent abuses their authority to get to the front of the line at a coffee shop, played for laughs.
