OK, Not sure if this has been mentioned but....


What is Brianna's whole deal with Christy? It's pretty strange that she can't forgive her for talking to her parents and family, really! She did have her best interest in mind, for crap sake. She is taking it to far she can forgive Matt for cheating and sexting but not her long time friend for trying to protect her! SMH I think she always looks to play the victim and wants and needs lots of attention!

This might be a stretch, but I wonder if Brianna has some extreme self esteem issues that are contributing to her questionable choices.

She's a little person, and she's not conventionally attractive--and a lot of people would say she's ugly.

I wonder if she stays with Matt because she doesn't think she can do any better, and/or she doesn't think she deserves better.

In the Christy situation, she has power over another person, which, according to this self-esteem theory, might be a rare experience. I'd guess she's been bullied a lot because of her size and looks, and this fight allows her to hold something over another person--she gets to be the one to make someone feel badly.

I don't this woman outside of what I see on the show, so I could be very off, but this is why I think this fight has gone on and on and on.

She acts like she is so confident but clearly isn't so you could be right.

Christy told Brianna's parents that she was being drugged and held against her will. Relatives started sending death threats to Matt after hearing this, leading to them wanting a gun for protection. Brianna was in the hospital while this was going on. Christy alluded that Matt caused her to be hospitalised. She also told them about Plastic. Christy hired Brianna's ex publicist and supposedly told her where to have Brianna served with a lawsuit. I'm not sure she did, but it doesn't matter as Brianna believes it.
As Brianna has said, forgiving your HUSBAND is entirely different from forgiving a friend.

I think that Christy initially had good intentions but she went over board. She should have remembered that the messenger usually gets the short end of the stick. Telling them she was being drugged was a lie. Telling them about Plastic was a recipe for disaster. They would have found out on their own, just like we did.

Christy was in the middle of a rock and a hard place. Do you listen to your best friend or her worried parents?

I think that Christy got caught up in the situation. She probably felt very important and started exaggerating things.
I think that Brianna will eventually forgive her but Matt won't. He will probably do what he can to try and stop it. I doubt he will ever let her in their home.

They used to be best friends, it's hard to imagine they won't ever get back to that. I guessed time will tell.

Except your spouse should never hurt you like that. They should be the last person to treat you poorly. But lo we all forgive them because why not stay with the evil you know rather than take on new evil?

If my husband cheated on me, we'd be getting divorced. No doubt in my mind.
The above was from Brianna's pov. Of course, I wouldn't ever marry a person that was remotely close to Matt. I can't think of one personality trait that he has that would pass muster with me. He'd have me chomping at the bit, all the time.

Btw, Sophia is DOOMED!!

More than likely Briana has little or no attention at home, but that doesn't make her in the right.
