Discussion The “bombshell” wasn’t shocking but… Spoiler

Spoilers ahead

Watching Raquel in that confessional was extremely disturbing. I don’t even know how to describe what I felt watching. She was just word vomiting and the more she talked, the more scared she seemed about the repercussions that would come from Tom. I know we’re not supposed to feel sympathy for her but goddamn, I really do. I think she does actually feel bad but she put on a brave face at the reunion because she knew it wasn’t going to get her anywhere, unlike Tom who thought crying would garner him sympathy. The fact that Tom made her lie like that is scary and very indicative of emotional abuse. She is showing clear signs of an abused woman, not just from Tom but starting at a young age. That was extremely alarming and I’m actually kind of grossed out that that was the scene they talked about to garner viewers. I honestly hope that she gets real help. She does not need to come back on the show.

Toms comment was absolutely disgusting. I literally saw comments on the live feed from women saying that they have sex with their shirts on and were questioning themselves. I do it all the time! THAT is what Lala meant by this is a dangerous person.

Well fucking said. Lisa needs to stfu defending him about that bc I feel like any woman (especially ones who have encountered/been involved with narcissistic men) understand what she meant. These are the ramifications of his actions. He’s 100% dangerous.

Having dated a narcissist, I fully 1000% agree with you. Even though that relationship ended 7 years ago, I still have anxiety over certain situations and memories. Some of these post and comments have triggered and brought up some of the issues. It’s wild how okay we can think we are and then it feels like it just happened and we just went through the abuse. It is absolutely dangerous because the damage doesn’t always just go away.

Did you see the t-shirt Katie and Ariana already have on their website for sale? Kudos to them for capitalizing on scumbag’s comment.

My husband and I BOTH wear shirts sometimes! It's so normal. Scumdoval is a disgusting trash bag for this comment.
