Reposting an answer from Pickwick (one of the best blogs for GB info with a huge reservoir of knowledge-miss these ladies) shared from a while back to help people understand or remind if you have forgottenā¦.putting things in perspective to a small degree:
Years of abuse, gaslighting, shaming, publicly humiliating, using her fame and putting her and her music down at the same time, flirting, cheating, hiding affairs, one child (that we know of), his sexuality, etc.
He also convinced her to invest in MM's business while he and MM were having a 3 year affair, all while Gwen was trying to have another baby, was pregnant with Apollo, and going thru postpartum. Then, she had to pay MM off to shield the kids from the explicit detail MM was going to share.
She tortured herself thinking she was crazy. Fainted at a school function from stress. And then, even though he spent no time with the kids except for photo ops until the divorce, he demanded partial custody, just to hurt her (his victim), and once he got it, took off and spent large chunks of time away from them (3 months at one point), only to get them back and tell them (small children) that he effing hated this effing family.
Not to mention what his daughter went thru being rejected by her father at 14 for 7 seven years. A man who had been her god father since birth because, yeah, he knew all along it was his kid. Imagine being a 14 year old girl and finding out this rock guy everyone knows is your dad and then the whole world and all you friends knowing that he thinks that is so terrible that he won't talk to you anymore. But once you're 21 and make a name for yourself that he can capitalize on, he wants back in.
There is SO much more. He is trash. Nothing to redeem there. He is small and cun@ty and his vanity deserves the hair helmet, bad hair plugs, and stupid looking hairline he now has.
Upgrade is way too small a word for what Blake is, and Gwen knows it. Blake is an amazing human who loves with his whole heart, has no ulterior motive, and wants to see everyone happy.
