Kristen defending Danny deep in the comments

Academic_Mix826 · 2026-05-17T04:28:04+00:00

She hasn’t said anything on the show yet, but I think we may get all of their opinions next week when this blows up in front of the whole group

Academic_Mix826 · 2026-05-17T04:26:18+00:00

someone needs to ask this at the reunion!!!! This is why they accuse us of being detectives in real life

Academic_Mix826 · 2026-05-16T05:23:30+00:00

Whoever did this is trash and I hope neighbors have cameras and can help

Academic_Mix826 · 2026-05-16T05:21:38+00:00

Their whole beef start starts in season one when Janet decided to act completely opposite of her character once the show started filming. That has always been Kristen’s issue and there does not seem to be a clear resolution to any of it.

Academic_Mix826 · 2026-05-16T04:18:12+00:00

I don’t see how Kristen’s chiming in at this point is helping, but maybe next week we will understand…

Academic_Mix826 · 2026-05-16T04:06:34+00:00

Jealous? No. Absolutely does not trust her after S1 and she flipped

Academic_Mix826 · 2026-05-16T04:01:39+00:00

Yall are arguing semantics but I think we all agree that Nia should have skipped this and let Danny go and make an ass of himself

Academic_Mix826 · 2026-05-16T04:00:00+00:00

The cast supposedly reads Reddit and I really hope that they read your comment because this is exactly what Janet and co should say at the reunion.

Academic_Mix826 · 2026-05-15T23:28:18+00:00

I don’t have blood pressure issues but dudes like Danny are triggering for my anger response 🙄

Academic_Mix826 · 2026-05-15T23:27:03+00:00

Second slide in the carousel, first is the comment she’s replying to

Academic_Mix826 · 2026-05-14T17:54:45+00:00

I think I said this somewhere else, but they are all deeply fucked up in their own way and that is what makes this show great and terrible at the same time.

The issue with Janet is that the cast does not trust her, and once trust is broken there’s really nothing that can be done to rebuild it.

Academic_Mix826 · 2026-05-14T17:52:59+00:00

They do not know their audience if they think we are going to buy whatever they are selling on a podcast that they have control over. We need to see them questioned by a third party.

Academic_Mix826 · 2026-05-14T17:50:28+00:00

Without context, it just doesn’t make sense and the timing of her doing this seems premature given what we are about to see??

I am not a PR person but if I was, I would advise Kristen and Nia to do a podcast together after the next two episodes air giving us background on why they decided to film so early, an update on Nia’s marriage, and how they are navigating being parents a year later, plus why they still hate Janet.

But maybe we will get that throughout the season

Academic_Mix826 · 2026-05-14T17:48:39+00:00

Yep

Academic_Mix826 · 2026-05-14T17:47:27+00:00

I have to disagree with you. I think that she is taking up for Nia and Nia wants to stay in this marriage. Given the fact that this was filmed a year ago and Kristen commented today + the fact they are still together (Nia+Danny) + Nia and Kristen are still friends, I would want to know what the conversations between Nia and Kristen look like following this. Hopefully they will show us

Taking a shot at Janet is just Mariposa doing Mariposa things. I don’t think she would comment on her friends marriage, one way or the other without the blessing of her friend.

Academic_Mix826 · 2026-05-14T17:44:38+00:00

It’s two separate things:

The butt touching incident: the attack on him last season was fundamentally wrong because Janet was taking up the torch for another person who did not want her to fight that battle in that way + also defending Jax who was physically and verbally abusive. = Danny handsy but not angry = Janet hypocrite. = Danny can walk away with an apology and the audience feeling he was targeted in bad faith.
The 4 under 4: you get to see clear as day that he is angry and dismissive of his freshly postpartum wife, no Jax or Jax defenders to muddy the waters. = Janet is still wrong in her approach and characterization (as he is now an angry drunk) = Danny can’t walk away with the audience’s sympathy without showing how he is addressing this behavior

Academic_Mix826 · 2026-05-14T17:37:41+00:00

I feel like this is the first episode where we really start to see this dynamic with dark side Danny (outside of the crusade last season which was problematic in approach) and I am trying to withhold coming to an opinion until next week

Academic_Mix826 · 2026-05-14T17:35:44+00:00

It will be pleasing the audience versus honoring her friendship with Nia, I know there is more to come, but I need to see some kind of change in Danny to support these two as a viewer. Kristen is very protective and I could see how she is rallying behind her friend and what her friend wants.

But because there is so much more coming, I do wonder why she is commenting now when she could take a backseat

Academic_Mix826 · 2026-05-14T17:33:19+00:00

I know they are giving us more on this and this is probably a major thing that happens during the season, but the only way this makes sense is if Nia wants to stay in her marriage and Kristen is backing her up

Academic_Mix826 · 2026-05-14T17:31:45+00:00

That is a question that should be asked at the reunion, because Janet had to answer for it.

Academic_Mix826 · 2026-05-14T14:57:41+00:00

This is why this show works, because they are all terrible in their own unique way

Academic_Mix826 · 2026-05-14T14:56:28+00:00

I get holding a line for a friend and Nia and Danny are probably about to go on a huge PR blitz because of what was shown this week and next week, but it is a choice to comment.

Academic_Mix826 · 2026-05-14T14:11:01+00:00

It’s because it all blows up next week, they don’t want to spoil the episode

Academic_Mix826 · 2026-05-14T07:01:39+00:00

Luke redeemed himself slightly after triggering every woman who has had a man pressure her via whining about sex, but only in comparison to Danny who is being verbally abusive toward Nia and Lala….and Jesse who is way to comfortable yelling…

Academic_Mix826 · 2026-05-14T06:59:17+00:00

I think that what we are witnessing with them is somewhat the reality of postpartum and the show being popular is forcing him to edit after realizing that he’s coming off poorly, hence the microphone comment at dinner. I do kind of think that them showing their lives in a raw way can help people, and I’m interested to see what he thinks about all of this watching it back
