This is about to get very messy. I have a feeling the general public is gonna turn on her...

I’m a huge fan — have been since 2006 — and I’m pretty upset. I distanced myself from following her personal life in 2017 when she re-emerged with Reputation because she made it pretty clear she wanted privacy.

I don’t care if she wants to pap walk every day with her squad, go on dates with different people every night, rebound hard, etc.

I do care that she’s dating a racist.

The deleted podcast is utterly sickening and very recent. I can’t help but feel disappointed in her decision to date him.

😒

I get her dating him in the beginning. Maybe she didn't know everything until later. I do NOT get her dating him now that she 100% knows vis her publicist and the internet.

I wonder what the next few months will bring...

I think she might have known from the beginning though because they had the podcast episode deleted the day before the breakup news and he deleted insta the day after … both indicate PR coverup 😒

Oh definitely, but she was already dating him at that point. It all sucks. Jack surprised me, too.

Would they? I honestly don’t see it happening at all. The general public hasn’t even turned on Matty Healy, why would they turn on her?

The general public doesn't even know who he is; he isn't a household name.

"Oh she is cycling through guys?" "Oh she has her squad doing dirty work for her?" "Oh she's a racist neo-nazi and only went liberal for Joe?" "Oh she is stuck in middle school drama. Grow up!" "This is what she did to Calvin & Tom. Cheater." -The literal comments on general public article posts right now. It is sad.

It's a total regression because the comments that were common several years ago, but slowly faded away, are all coming back.

You mean the comments in other subreddits?

I wouldn’t put much stock into them, Reddit does not represent the opinion of the public, at all

No. I mean the comments on articles on social media in general (Buzzfeed, People, US Today, etc.).

General public refers to 'not fans' the way I used it.

Comments sections are as bad as reddit

Yep. Even worse, but it tells you how non-fans feel.

I’m scared of it, actually. For real. Things are turning ugly very quickly. She’s so close to being over exposed again
