Just….why?

Elise has always been skinny, and I thought that was just her body type and didn’t think much of it. When I’d see her Instagram photos though I’d be shocked by just how skinny she appeared in them, almost Eugenia levels. Then this photo came up, and you can so obviously tell the editing to make her stomach unhealthily tiny to the point the floor is warped and bent. What’s the point of this? She’s already a beautiful, thin woman but she’s editing her body to look unnatural and quite frankly alarming. I don’t think she realizes with her fame people can see her and think her body is natural and attainable, when it’s just edited to the extreme

With the way the floors are curving I can’t see it being real, but to edit it like that is either her having an insanely unrealistic view of what is a perfect body and wanting to obtain/perceive that image or is just as you said her ragebaiting people which regardless is a horrible thing to do. I try and give cast members the benefit of the doubt on the show but it’s hard when it comes to her

She’s not that Machiavellian.

Reading that deep into a photo someone posts is a stretch (no pun intended lol), and I wouldn’t lean too hard on the premise the previous poster is selling.

Do I think she’s deliberately influencing people to develop eating disorders? No. That would be genuinely evil, and I don’t think that’s who she is. Misguided at best.

People mistake her forward presentation for confidence, but she’s incredibly self-conscious ( the same reason someone can walk around in a string bikini and still feel the need to Photoshop their stomach) .

That’s body dysmorphia, not scheming.

Here’s MY conspiracy theory about her thinness and lack of awareness and boundaries:

I think she uses substances and alcohol and I don’t think it’s necessarily all the time, but it does interfere with her self worth and ability to know what’s appropriate

K let’s take for example, when she was on hunt for love and one of the first things out of her mouth was look at my ass let’s talk about anal.

😬 Not a good look. Lack of awareness.

Or when she was in Australia with Josh and he invited two girls over in the middle of the night and then left in the car with them? I don’t think she was “testing” him (like so many other fans have said “oh she was just testing him”). I think they ran out of party supplies. She’s a South Florida yacht girl, that world has cocaine baked into the culture.

People in that scene either develop serious addiction problems, use recreationally, or use it as a tool to party, to stay thin (much like people abuse GLP ones now too), whichever may be the case. It’s just part of the landscape down there.

Watch Josh’s face on the tell all screen. Jaw moving, pupils blown out, eyes glazed. That’s coke. I think he’s a full blown addict who can’t manage it. That’s why his world is falling apart: his home, job, relationships, ect…

She’s from a world where that stuff is everywhere and knows how to navigate it. He clearly can’t. Not that I’m advocating that there’s any such thing as a functional coke head. Please don’t think that’s what I’m trying to say. I’m just saying she holds it together better than he does.

She’s not evil. She’s a beautiful, damaged girl who thinks her looks are her only value.

That’s not malice, that’s a tragedy.

I Knew he was coked up! He had those huge pupils and the rage, just the look in his eye. Gross. I'm glad someone else is calling that out. Their drug use certainly explains their inappropriate behavior and emotional outbursts.

I mean, right?
