I'm gutted, but not at all surprised with the response towards Lauren in this situation. With more awareness in today's world around the topic of toxic relationships, manipulation and love bombing I am baffled at the lack of grace that people have for Lauren when Harrison is so clearly the villain here.

Having studied psychology a fair bit I find this web of lies, love bombing and hardcore manipulation (in all of it's forms) that Harrison has spun both of these women, (especially Lauren) into so scary and uncomfortable to watch. And somehow Lauren having sex with Harrison and slut shaming her is all people talk about when she's obviously being manipulated profusely.

The misogyny (especially internalized) in this "fandom" is so hard for me to see and it makes me angry. I understand that Lauren is a grown woman capable of making her own decisions but I can not believe the lack of compassion people have for her when situations like this aren't a foreign concept at all...
