first of all, Iād like to say that this is a whole ass mess. this fandom has gone through multiple situations similar to this one and it gets more tiring every time. Iād also like to say that I am not defending nor hating on Lauren, Iām simply looking at this from a point of view that does not forget the past. (and we all know how this fandom just loves to forget the past and hates to learn from their mistakes)
now, if we start with Lās outburst on twitter and forget the control management has over their social media, she looks completely and utterly ridiculous and self entitled. but if you see from a PR point of view, and realize that it is one day before the one year anniversary of the split, itās apparent that if mgt did not want there to be drama, the tweets would have either never been tweeted or there would have been damage control. also notice how theyāre always directly correlated with camila, which brings the āfeudā that mgt is trying so hard to seem real to the spotlight once again.
when it comes to whether or not itās only mgt responsible for the tweets, I donāt know. itās obvious that Lauren can be very impulsive and combine that with all the stress she must have, who knows, maybe she did personally tweet those. and while it hurts, I donāt think weāre in any position to judge or hate her at all. so, unless youāre providing constructive criticism from a place of love, youāre just adding to the list of problems.
moving on to the dmāsā¦. and oh how we love those in this fandom. with camilaās private messages it was incredibly obvious how fake they were (i genuinely do not understand how gullible the ppl are that believe those are real), but with laurenās its hard to tell. sooo Iāve basically found two main points: they seem real bc it sounds a lot like something L would say/itās in her typing style OR they might not be real bc the person who screenshoted the dms refuses to take a video to prove its real and that seems sus af
to end this on a somewhat hopeful note, here are the things they want you to forget, but you should definitely not forget:
- LAND are also in miami š
-all of the second half of 2016 where all of the ships were alive, including the week before the split
- the industry is fucked up and the shit all the girls have gone through should not be underestimated. we know next to nothing and should not judge or hate them
- instead of talking about this bs, we should talk about how ppl in suits run the industry and are constantly creating unnecessary and cruel stunts to damage artistsā careers, emotions, and overall health
Read my last rb, it can also be applied to this situation and is definitely a must read.
