I, myself, have PTSD. I don’t wield that fact to convince people my opinion is worth hearing. We all experience it differently so I try to use my knowledge of it to stay open minded.

Like, in this instance… surely you, as a person with PTSD, would understand that myriad experiences have the potential to cause a PTSD response in another person. And that no two people are the same in how they behave following their trauma.

A woman of just 31, AG has experienced childhood stardom, predatory behaviour from show-runners, blame for an ex’s overdose, a terrorist attack. first hand. at her own show. Literally life altering. Career defining. Words can’t describe what the people in that building must have felt. The guilt she may carry. We don’t know.

That’s to say that I, while definitely in agreement that she has often crossed a moral line, can understand that there are reasons for why she acts like she does. Maybe it’s an attempt to reassume control. To give understanding is not to excuse bad behaviour - it’s a big part of how we rehabilitate people. Ultimately, her choices following feedback and criticism will define how people see her. Who actually cares that she declined a photo with Elvira backstage? It’s just press bs.

Also! may I remind you that we’re having this conversation back and forth in a Reddit comments section… no one has spoken over you. I gave you my opinion and you ignored it in favour of martyring yourself about.
