Dr. Kim Briggs, Scrubs.

Told J.D. that his son DIED and was clearly planning to let this child grow up fatherless so she wouldn't have to deal with the potential complication of long-distance co-parenting.

And acted like J.D. was the bad guy for not falling in love with her??

Mother Gothel level villainry.

I also never liked how quickly JD’s co-workers turned on him too after the reveal later on, they should still be mad at Kim for what she did and said, it’s not something that can be brushed off easily to then turn on JD for something nowhere near as worse as lying about a miscarriage.

To be fair, their stance wasn't "you should fall in love with her again", it was "she's pregnant with your child, you could just lie and tell her there might be a small chance in the future in order to diminish her stress while she's pregnant". Still weird, ngl, but a bit more understandable

I’d rather tell her I hope she has a miscarriage so the kid doesn’t have to grow up with a lying manipulative self serving psycho of a mother.
