Seeing all those likes (7k currently) and supportive comments on Lindsay's post, I just can't get the past the thought 'Is this what you really needed to make yourself feel whole?' Like no matter what - keeping a salary of 11k a month, a legal splitting of the business, two separate statements and a plan for both of them - L had to have the last word and the public validation and fanfare and to feel like she'd won? Was she ever going to settle for anything less? There's something so unsettling about intentionally creating chaos to make yourself feel better. There's no way Jenny is going to stay silent in response to an attack like that, she may even be lawyering up for all we know if L seriously broke a legal agreement that was in place.
The drama does not start and end with that post, it makes it a million times worse. I don't know how L doesn't see the short lived dopamine of public validation isn't going to magically clear up her anxiety and depression over what happened. She had the opportunity to just focus on the pod and move on with her life like Jenny, but instead to L has created a far worse environment and left herself wide open to the public discourse she hates again. You have to ask yourself, in the end what was the priority? Keeping ItGalz alive? Or hurting Jenny like she hurt you? If it's the latter then L and J are both as bad as each other.
I think this is brilliantly written post and I found myself nodding along however as much as the phrase ‘don’t judge someone until you’ve walked in their shoes’ is two a penny and sometimes meaningless, it is so true especially in this situation.
I think the last 6 weeks for Lindsay has been hellish, from finding out to what J had been up to, to falling out with you best friend of a decade, to scrambling together to keep the business alive, she was getting eaten alive on here at times and trying to navigate X Galz / It Galz 2.0.
Lindsay by her own admission is reactionary and very open so it must have killed her especially to sit back and keep quiet about everything when 1. She was the one actually recording podcasts and 2. Being ‘blamed’ for the fallout. I don’t blame her at all for what she did last night, she probably felt backed into a corner and wanted to offload her own truth. For me the vagueness is her trying not to spill all the beans and reflects the new Lindsay - the one who doesn’t come on Insta anymore or talk about her relationship.
We might disagree with one another here and I enjoy hearing most people’s takes but I think most of us will agree this was a toxic ass friendship and had been for some time.
