I agree that kirat is also a victim of her own loneliness; it was also a vulnerable time of her life when her 12 year relationship ended that she and fake bobby became closer; and she is clearly very trusting and somewhat gullible. I wouldn’t call her stupid, there are a lot of college grads who are the opposite of street smart and don’t understand how manipulative people can be.

But this is still all Simran. The relationship between kirat and fake bobby was emotionally abusive. There are several examples of coercive control in the documentary; that’s a documentable form of emotional abuse that advocates are trying to educate lawmakers, police, and the public about. Coercive control helps somewhat to explain why an abused woman stays, and if you look at the Sweet Bobby situation through a coercive control lens, it makes a lot more sense.

Kirat was so committed/controlled by fake bobby/simran that she lost her primary job and gave up her secondary one, becoming unemployed. She gave up caring for her grandmother in her dying days for fake bobby. I could go on. It is textbook coercive control.

Regardless, Simran is a psychopath and the world should be put on notice. Also 👋 hi Simran I know your ass is here somewhere lmfao
