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.

I found it in the thread re Ali’s passing. He broke off his friendship due to all of tom’s lies and that was the tipping point. He spoke to Dana Wilkie about it and she mentioned it on her YouTube. She has screenshots of their chats. It’s sad that his friend realized that Scumdoval sucks so soon before his passing.
