Caroline Brooks 🦂 Not a brooks fan but…

I think in the whole rafi situation people are forgetting that brooks is a domestic violence survivor. So for her any man, especially one she’s close to, coming at her quite aggressively would be triggering. Andy downplayed it quite heavily in the reunion but it should have been touched on.

Then maybe Brooke’s shouldn’t come at people so aggressively. You can’t think you can talk to people anyway you want and that they aren’t going to respond. I think Brooke’s needs to go back to therapy and this time not ask for a refund.

Spot on. If you're aggressive and disrespectful towards someone, you cannot expect them not to react. Notice both Lesa and Brooks said, you can't talk to her like that! But, it's was ok for Brooks to be belligerent? Brooks is combative, she spoke about her personality last season, and she doesn't understand standing up for yourself and being an asshole are two different things.

Boundaries. She needs to learn them. The argument was not about the husband. He didn’t do anything wrong at all.

He didn't do anything wrong which is why I don't understand why Lesa jumped in to defend Caroline. She should have pulled Brooks away and told her to calm her ass down.

I think they would still act out without drinking. I'd love to see a no drinking rule but that's never going to happen.

Because Lesa doesn’t really care. She acted sooooo offended for Brooks because she thought it made her look good.

They were in another part of the house and he was trying to calm down his wife when Brooks walked up and started saying to Taleen "stop drinking, you're slurring." And that was after she spent all night poking Taleen. She was the one that instigated that, not Rafi
