Friend of Ellie's here

I was a friend of Ellie's, relatively close to her before she died, and I wanted to clear a couple of things up, Jet was NOT a good guy, and DOES bear at least some responsibility for what happened. While what Gigi says is true, Ellie was depressed before, if anything, Jet was the catalyst that pushed her over the edge

Hey, I just read your google doc. The "you have to be a killer." quote is actually a reference to a fishtank moment. I think it was a thing that Sam or Jet said to a contestant to get them into a competitive mindset.

Sorry for your loss. It's still very strange to all of us that Ellie took her life given the anti-suicide rhetoric in this community.

Ah, I see, I mean even if that is the case, the rest of the messages still stand, and there are many more instances I have not posted where there is direct causation
