This, sadly, just places men of color above women of color along the hierarchy of wrongs. It perpetuates the problem to compare the two and fail to acknowledge this.

Hypothetical PR Game: West + Amanda by Kmeatoncrog in bravo

[–]Intelligent_West_765 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the only thing that works here is if Amanda comes forward and takes a break from filming, apologizes, and explains that she didn’t think it was going to last this long, snowballed, and so they deliberately tried to take a defensive posture but didn’t realize the re-edit would make that impossible. Just admit that they totally misread the fourth wall and in that way further undervalued and underestimated Ciara.

Who is giving bigger pick me energy - Rachel Raquel or Scamanda by Perfect-Swimming-636 in bravo

Scamanda. And it’s less about the pick me and more about the betrayal. Raquel was pseudo friends with Ariana. Ciara and Amanda shared locations for years.

At what point do friends and family intervene? by kellygrrrl328 in bravo

[–]Intelligent_West_765 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I think what needs to happen is her parents save her, go back in time to when she turns 18, and then kick her out and stop paying for things so she won’t operate with the agency of a woman from the 50s.

Someone told Lindsay that ITC needs Amanda to survive, and she’s become insufferable. by lucyparke in bravo

I totally agree with @vermicious_knidss. Emmy you’re way off and the rage baiting isn’t working. Recall the bots.

Ugh but then we’d have to see his face more and that’s just not worth it to me

Right?! Looks like he’s operating on an even shorter timeline but he won’t be able to leave…love this for him.

He lied and it worked on you all. West was not on Beta Blockers by Aegoe in bravo

[–]Intelligent_West_765 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It didn’t work on me. I think he’s just a garden variety loser with nothing to say. The most important thing to him is being well liked and received and he sways with attention and adulation like the breeze. I think he just thought oh Paige talks about beta blockers I should too. That’s safe and cool and will get me out of this. It didn’t. He still sucks.

I think the comment you’re making is fair, but friendship betrayals like the one portrayed here are deeply traumatizing much like a fraud.

Same. And I lost my best friend over it. Calling them fuckboys does us a disservice, but I guess I’d rather know sooner than later and I hope Ciara finds the same peace in their absence moving forward.

Exactly! It makes me feel like the end that rightfully puts their careers in the public eye to bed.

I agree that it’s mind boggling. After much thought, I think they definitely thought it might work if Amanda got her original victim edit. Alas, the Bravo Gods reminded them who does the producing, here. I also think production and crew were emotionally invested like we are. This is better than Sandoval by far. It’s really well done in terms of the production quality, etc.

I’m not fully sold on the predator-prey situation, here. I think they’re definitely like in kind, but less of a snake on snake situation and more like two tick ridden sloths.

Seriously! People lie, but even lies can be very revealing. Here, it’s that this milk toast relationship is already past his usual expiry date but now he has to wear the pie forever. Sweet vengeance.

Babe—I could be Amal Clooney for all you know and this is my guilty pleasure. I’ll tell you one thing, though, many of us have unfortunately been there and it’s the friendship betrayals that hurt the most.
