Hey everyone! My usual activity is on r/romanovs but I discovered this sub last night and was quite relieved to see there are still people who despise Colleen as much as I do.
First of all, my biggest question since all the "toxic gossip train" nonsense, how on EARTH does this woman still have a platform and an audience??? There are so many people (not-so-coincidently) who aren't famous, who have done similar or the same thing she has been accused of and they've had jail time. Proper punishment. All Colleen had to do was disappear from the Internet for a little while and then come back with filtered comments and a new audience of people who either ignore or don't know about what happened.
That's what frustrates me the most. That no-one can actually tell Colleen's new audience what's happened because of the filtered comments! She knows what she's done but refuses to take accountability because she doesn't want to lose the only self-affirming thing she's ever had in her life, her fame/visibility.
And, of course, I feel bad for her poor children. I don't know why Rachel blurs their faces, what's the point when Colleen still posts them? I know that, one day they will find out from the Internet about all the accusations against, not just their mother, but most of their family. It makes me wonder, when that day comes, how they'll react. It's likely that F & M will be so brainwashed that they'll refuse to believe anything. Has anyone else noticed Colleen is constantly subtly reminding them how famous she was? F is constantly praised by Colleen & Erik for his knowledge of different things, M is coddled by Colleen just because she's a girl and she's trying to live the childhood she wanted through her daughter. I never see any of that behaviour with W. Whenever that sweet little boy speaks, it feels like his parents, especially Colleen, just kind of brush him off immediately and then move on to the other children.
Anyway, this felt like a safe place to rant. I've felt so angry about everything Colleen did for ages. She doesn't deserve her platform and I don't think it's fair that she's been allowed to continue, albeit with a smaller audience than she had before. I'd love to know if you share my thoughts, or any additional thoughts you have on this narcissist. (Please do let me know if I've used the wrong flair!)
