Loved her on The Secret Circle! Not so much on Teen Wolf.

Don't get me wrong I love Shelley, she's hilarious and not to mention gorgeous, but her acing has gotten so bad since The Secret Circle. Maybe it's not her talent but her inability to play this type of character. She was one of the best parts of TSC so naturally I tuned in to watch Teen Wolf and I couldn't believe how cringe worthy she was. And not only was the acting bad but her entire plotline was so screwed up like having her first time in a mental institution with a guy possessed by an evil spirit, which fits no where into the storyline of the episode. Glorifying abusive relationships like her scratching/hitting Stiles all the time to "show love", or just having her be a coyote for 9 years and then immediately integrating her into high school. No it doesn't work that way. So the amount of backlash surrounding her doesn't surprise me especially with her PR taking down every article or video that denounces her. I also heard that her management practically demanded to have Malia(her character) with fan favorite Stiles. I think it's true because it came from a pretty reputable source. I hope she gets out of this *beep* show and starts acting on something where her talent is actually revealed since I know she has it.

I'm all for her leaving, simply because it means no more Malia and no more Stalia. 

Has there been backlash? Not saying you're wrong, because I don't know, but I'm curious as to what kind.

Well, I'm getting used to her character but she needs *beep* developement and not just be something that's supposed to make Stiles happy (and I don't even believe that cause it's really rushed). She need her own story without Stiles in it.
They could have also made Stiles and Malia later than at the end of season 3/the beginning of season 4 and I'm sure more people would believe their story.

They had to de-gay Stiles. Dylan's career is going places.

You thought Stiles was gay? Apparently, you were asleep during all of those times when he made it clear that he was in love with Lydia.

I never said I thought "Stiles was gay." Maybe you need to work on your reading comprehension.

A lot of fans, however, did think Stiles was bisexual. That's not new news. But, maybe it is to you.

She is the Best part of Teen Wolf. Without her its Crap!

Well except the story about her mother ( Desert Wolf ), pretty much everything was shown about her.

The Desert Wolf cause the car crash which resulted in Malia transformation into a Coyote for the most part of her life. Scott succeeded to transform her back into a human and she is now pursuing her mother.

As for the acting, you might want to consider that since she grew up as a Coyote for years in wild life. She just recently learned how to live as a human, so i do think her awkward behavior (acting) is related to that.
