I’m not sure what to think of the reaction. I can totally see it from both sides to be honest. It’s not that Whitney was entitled to know the baby had come immediately but I do think as soon as it was in the public domain, someone should have told her.
I don’t think Ryan knows Whitney at all or is even a good friend in any way - if he was, he would have known she needed to be told in a calm and caring manner somewhere she felt safe. As Whitney said, when Ryan saw it on social media he should have checked in with Whitney to see if she was ok and not just assumed she was handling it well.
What really shocked me was the way Buddy just blurted it out! He knows Whitney better than anyone and he definitely should have known that a crowded bar was not the place to tell Whitney.
I really felt for her standing there in the rain but I did think it was a bit of an overreaction - I think she had too much information to process in one go and it was just too much for her. Her conversation with Ashley the next day seemed like a much more sensible response and she’d clearly had time to process it in her own way, in her own space which is how it should have been done in the first place.
Must say though, I loved the way Jessica and her partner supported Whitney on the hike and climbing the waterfall. Such good guys!!
