I do like the end summery of the article

I have a general rule, which I’ve had ever since following January Jones on Instagram and coming to the gut conclusion that she’s probably a pretty cool person, that one should always assume that people who look the worst in the media are actually the nicest, and people who come off as the cutest and funniest are probably the most insufferable. I can’t help but think that’s the case here. Don’t ask me why, but I genuinely feel for Jennette and her plight. I like that her post-Nick aspiration is not to be a mainstream pop star, but to write for a sitcom. She’s a weird celebrity in that she’s pretty well spoken and sharp, but very frequently delves into highly inflammatory social media behavior. (She’s also, we have to remember, only 21.) But that also makes her a really good celebrity! (Arianators who have somehow found their way to this post, please take into account that I am the Jon Snow of the Nickelodeon Universe. I literally knew nothing until about 24 hours ago.)

I think Ariana and Jennette grew apart the way friends naturally do, and having millions of fans fighting their battles for them on the Internet only magnified an already not-fun process. I don’t think that Jennette is “jealous,” there is no evidence anywhere that she wants Ariana’s life, other than her cringey Instagram a cappella videos.

But there are also so many other rumors to take into account that I don’t even feel completely comfortable reprinting here, but which I believe 90 percent of. I think there is a LOT going on beneath the surface, much of which probably took place over the past eight years that Ariana and Jennette worked together. If there’s any lesson to be learned from this beef, it’s a lesson you’ve hopefully already abided by: Don’t be a child star. Just don’t. No good comes of it.
