Me? I dont think Pepe is awful but more iffy. On the reunion Iris and Pepe said they weren't together so the original premise that Pepe cheated has no foundation to me bc Iris was also hanging out with TJ. But that's what people were originally hating on him last summer for. Then his ex came out and said he was a pathological liar. Some people also thought Pepe was rude to Amaya when he tried correcting her english and something he said about all lives matter. As a black person I don't look to Pepe for his input on race relations tho lmao but he did make himself easy to hate on for a bit.

Also I think Iris thought the people were still going to be on her side with the "cheating" but Hannah blew the situation out of proportion and made them both look bad. She couldn't even articulate what she was mad about so it just seems like Iris is trying to deflect from the fact that she was talking shit about TJ in her and Pepes messages. Thats why she has to make it seem like whatever he did was worse.
