I think the thing is John pretends he’s actually with Hendrix when he’s not, as in he was pretending to be at the park with him earlier, when he wasn’t. I guess at least Chelsea is honest about the time she does/doesn’t spend with her son, unlike he is.
And no, I’m not Chelsea (nor a friend of hers) but I do think she’s real in the moment - she doesn’t lie, she doesn’t do swipe ups, she treats fans with respect and doesn’t use them to make money. Granted she’s emotive at times, but she’s true to herself and talks about how she really feels (heat of the moment I guess), and never comes across as fake - that’s why I like her.
I know many people lose their parents, but she seemed exceptionally close to her mother and to lose her young, and not that long ago - well she’s obviously still suffering in many ways, and I cut her some slack for that.
