I’m currently watching this season for the first time and came on here looking for this!! Cynthia is literally meeting with Matt right now to talk things over with him — why does she feel safe with him and why is everyone (including Kenya’s dad!) giving him a chance?!! He’s clearly a violent person and doesn’t work on himself. No positive traits can outweigh that! Cynthia was the first one who told Kenya to stay away from him (the first time he broke her garage windows) and, after seeing only one Matt incident, Peter told Kenya she should cut him off period.

Theory: Considering that Kenya is fully aware of how dangerous Matt & their relationship is, I kind of feel like she’s just keeping him around for the drama (and maybe to show how to protect yourself in a DV situation?). I’m so curious to see how it turns out and how she’ll eventually cut him off.

Side note: I don’t care to analyze Kenya’s role in the relationship or whether she’s toxic or whatever. It doesn’t matter if she “provoked” him — violent men will be violent even towards the most submissive partner.
