Lol, it's crazy how much we think alike because I was under the impression that @Moden was Jennette as well. xD

I have nothing against @Moden. I think he brings good insights. But it's obvious that he's a McCurdian and it's true that most people tend to see Jennette as the hero/underdog in this situation. I personally don't. While I did feel sorry for her being stuck at S&C (and obviously when her mom died), I do think she went about getting out of Nick the wrong way. While I do think it's somewhat impressive/admirable how she effectively managed to cancel her own show, she also happened to be laying off a lot of people too. Yes, I know most of them probably moved on to HD, but still. I just think her line of thinking is extremely reckless and dangerous and is BOUND to come back to bite her sooner or later.

However, I was willing to let all this Nick stuff slide because I understand that Jennette was severely mistreated by the network. Now that she is off the show, instead of taking the high road and moving on she is acting like a total spoiled brat in my opinion. And this is where people (namely @Moden) really start to disagree with me.

No, I don't doubt that Ariana acted stuck-up at times. In fact, I'm sure of it. She does give off that vibe. NEVERTHELESS, Jennette should have let go what happened between them a long time ago instead of continuing to push her and her fanbase over the edge. Was Ariana a shitty friend? Fine. I respect Jennette for leaving her behind. Did Jennette deserve to get death threats for what she said? No, of course not. But the fact that people seem to ignore is that Jennette started this whole "Twitter War." Again, with her carelessness. I can understand that maybe what Jennette said was meant to be taken as a light joke, but she took it too far and she said it PUBLICALLY. It was really no surprise that the Arianators went batshit crazy.

And that brings me to my last point: Despite my mixed feelings about Ariana in the past, I do genuinely respect her for keeping quiet throughout all of this. Not just the Twitter war, but basically everything from beginning to end regarding this S&C drama. Whenever she did open her mouth, it was purely to defend and reach out to Jennette. Now, @Moden and a few others may tell you that she has a stellar PR team (and she does) that tightly controls everything she says. However, I honestly believe that Ariana was being sincere in those times that she was reaching out to Jennette. As was Nathan whenever he did. Aside from her sending condolences to Ariana when her grandpa died, you do NOT see this side of Jennette EVER and she NEVER returns the favor. And considering her recent behavior, I question if those sentiments towards Ariana were truly genuine.

I get that Nick, Nathan and Ariana all aren't perfect. What I fail to get is how their imperfections somehow overshadow Jennette's recent awful behavior. People act as if Jennette can do no wrong and she always has a spiffy explanation behind all the damage she causes on a regular basis. Meanwhile, whenever someone like Ariana shows kindness and genuity, people always pin it on her PR team. Like, how is that fair?? -__-
