Indirects are defo juvenile but that’s not quite the point I’m getting at. In this case Jenny commenting ‘I too have beef with an It Gal’ or whatever it was is perceived differently because she used to be an It Gal, the joke is that she’s poking fun at herself at the same time, and what she's saying is true - her and L do have beef - obviously.
Making a snarky comment about your ex co-host’s solo podcast which you have never had any involvement with hits differently because you are intending shade at that person's work. And it's hard enough having the balls to do a solo pod, as Lindsay should know and understand.
Lindsay seems to play the victim or the aggressor depending on which suits her at the time (or, you could argue, depending on which gets the most negative attention)
Lindsay: “This was character assassination… I was bullied throughout our friendship…this person would be condescending towards me and put me down”
Also Lindsay: Snarks on her own podcast about RedRoom unprovoked when Jenny has never publicly snarked on Lipstick Lessons.
Which one is it Lindsay, victim or aggressor? Or are you just above it all and too focused on making your solo podcast the best it can be without resorting to the obvious low hanging cheap snark fruit.
I think Lindsay is witty and creative enough to shake off those old patterns but while she’s still doing this tit I won’t ever pay for her content.
And if I HAD to sub to one of them it would have been Lindsay. Jenny’s pod leans to a very niche following but Lindsay’s has wider appeal, if done well.
