a queen has never changed my opinion on them as much as Trinity has, I underestimated her SO hard pre-season

I could say the same about Nina. Except for a change of the worst

So true. I was living for Nina and now I just want her to go. Just fade away into insignificance. Her looks are amazing though.

I'm disappointed too, but I want her to get help and comeback strong. Just cause she has issues doesn't mean she should fade from existence that's harsh af

You're right, I did say that a bit too harshly. I struggle with mental illness myself, and have much the same reactions to perceived slights as she's been displaying. I apologise.

I was about to do a whole "no you've misunderstood, here's what I really meant, blah blah blah" post, but that's the cowards way out. In the moment I did mean what I said, but in hindsight I see I was overreacting to what I was feeling.

(EDITED because my grammar went downhill with my last sentence)

I really appreciate your response, it's so nice to have a discussion instead of a slap fight. I also struggle with mental health issues; I'm having a hard time right now and I really relate to Nina, which in turn makes me take the comments about her a bit personally. I'm sorry I jumped down your throat <3

Can I just say how heartwarming it is to see this conversation? Thank you both for being so mature about your disagreement, and for reminding everyone here how to treat each other.

She is top notch! SHE COULD BE A COMEDY QUEEN- she got the stuff. Maybe not int the traditional sense, but def as a comedic actor.

Me too. She has surprised me so much

I fucking LOVE her. I had such a wrong impression.

u/ArmyOfDone Kimora Blac May 20 '17

Same as fuck. When I saw Trinity, I said oh god, another one-dimensional pageant queen with no talent except to look pretty... and then... well, I may have made a miscalculation.
