I didn't say Ronda talked herself up did I ? I said has been talked up, that implies by other people not by Ronda herself.
Reading comprehension lolz ! !
Where did I say I had contempt for Ronda ? I said I thought she was a bad role model and acted like a spoilt brat huffy child.
That is not the same as having contempt for. You can criticise someone without thinking they are worthless.
Reading comprehension lolz !
So how are you holding her to a standard that she didn't put up for herself? My logic interfered with my reading comprehension because I gave you the benefit of the doubt and assumed you were using logic. So think about it. How are you using the "you made your bed now sleep in it" line of reasoning if Ronda isn't the one who made that bed?
Your condemnation of her and your accusations without at least trying to put yourself in her shoes registers as contempt. By your response I don't think you know what contempt means.

Great. So if they mimic her, they will see that they can overcome suicidal thoughts. So again, how was it irresponsible?
IDK man, you're throwing stones at her and missing. You don't really have much of a leg to stand on to support your accusations. I mean, you can say that you don't like her on screen behavior. Neither do I. You can say that she's a bad role model for being in a relationship with a married man accused of beating his estranged wife. You could say a lot of things. But the points you brought up really don't stick. She has the right to feel how she felt. There's no way around it.
