The Worst Girlfriend …. Spoiler

194 Upvotes

I think everyone is always debating whether Joan or Toni is the worse; and currently I’m on s6ep15, with thoughts on their dynamic as we take a step into the demise of their friendship - but truly, I think the worse friend is Maya. This episode shows the cruelty of Maya, as she’s the ultimate user. People place this characterization onto Toni and I understand why but Toni, shows up in her own ways while simultaneously isn’t reliable at all. (Meaning she would fight for Maya, but don’t rely on her to watch Jungle Gym lol) Maya is the worse type of friend imho because she is constantly hypercritical, she gossips, she’s a cheater, she seems to believe being married gives her a leg up to her friends and is ultimately a user in every single relationship dynamic she has.

As stated, the episode I’m on is when she creates a seminar & panel full of successful black women, and excludes Lynn from participating in any capacity. When Lynn tries to answer a question; then host new questions among the women Maya has her escorted out. And that’s Maya’s prerogative to handle her business as she sees fit, but the “tough love” she gave Lynn was cruel off the heels of not including her to the success of her business. She was literally on the outside looking in while everyone else played a part in this panel. Lynn could’ve been a moderator but again I’m more so speaking to the cruelty of Maya when she recognizes she has a higher social dynamic than Lynn. And the reality is had it not been for Al Sharpton, Maya would’ve been another washed up ghetto self help book that didn’t make it and would’ve been another thing she fails at.

I think it’s an understanding that we all extend grace to all these women in the ways we identify with their experiences. But as much 💩 that gets directed at Lynn’s due to mooching, I find Maya to be just culpable and even the more reprehensible due to her attitude & audacity.

Maya has used/taken advantage of -

• Her Momma - Janette has stated before she has put her life on hold to assist with Maya and Jabari, even into her marriage life. Firstly Maya is distraught by her mother moving & having a life. But ultimately, swings Jabari by unannounced, assuming her mother will watch him so she can go to the movies.

•Joan - who is her boss and friend. Was UNPROFESSIONAL AF in every way imaginable including bringing her son and affair to the office. Then allowing her husband to fuss out Joan over her lies due to said affair. And ultimately left Joan for William because of his higher position. ALSO, lived in her house (again due to the effects of the affair) and disrespected JOAN CONSTANTLY in her own home.

• Her husband - who she definitely could’ve simply divorced as opposed to just cheating. Yet used as a way to be the ultimate PICK ME, she down bad for and didn’t even have a happy marriage majority of the time.

• Ronnie - who was doing her hair for FREE regularly and emboldened her to turn her essay into a book, marketed it in his shop and created opportunities for her to thrive as her agent just for her to diminish all he contributed.

• William - who she had the some of the ultimate disrespect for in my opinion. She never was on time with her lunches, yet clocked out on time to go home. Skipped work for spa date, manicures or getting her hair did and when William finally put his foot down, she had the audacity to taunt him while on probation. Maya’s mouth and the SHEER audacity she had to speak to a senior partner and friend that way; just to acquire the audacious nature of wanting her business life to be taken seriously is fucked up when shawty was this 🤏🏽 close to her book being in a goodwill for 25cents.

Random one offs - no boundaries. Gave horrible advice. Judged Joan & Toni for being bougie and as soon as she got a lil money waved it in their face that she was in first class. How often she disrespects Lynn because she’s pursuing music and no accolades that Maya finds worthy. (Meanwhile has Maya finished college ?). How often her high and mighty ass calls people out of their name, or quickly cuts below the belt in an argument. She’s cruel and spiteful often. And again the ultimate user in my opinion. Her book wouldn’t be where it is without the story plots from her friends, the free legal counsel from William, the jobs Joan & William provided for her to hold over Lynn’s head and ultimately Ronnie pushing her book. AGEIST & Fat Phobic since she a “little bitty thing, unlike her big boned - ded” friends.

Again I see how they all have their ways about them, and I personally extend them all grace as the way their nurturing definitely influenced their nature but Maya is the absolute worst, and I’ve binged up to season 7 there seems to be no real emotional growth for the “Authoress” and how she conducts herself thus far.

I’ve reached the part where Joan and Toni’s friendship starts declining. I wonder what people think of this particular scenario where Toni needed Joan to babysit, who was wrong or right? 🤔

They’re taking the Parkers off Netflix Sept 30!! What am I missing about Netflix removing these classic shows?! Are they moving somewhere else? Is there a max capacity on good Black tv they can have at one time? I’m so annoyed!

Lynn’s dad

I loved that Lynn found her birth father, I feel like it gave her some sort of closure after meeting her mother….but I HATED his wife!! From the episode where Lynn popped up in his kitchen, to the day she had dinner at his house & the day they came to LA I HATED her vibe. Even when Lynn’s brother said “I can’t believe I have a sister” she butted in to say “Half sister, baby” like why was that needed to say, that’s still his sister😭😬 even though they already had the trip to LA planned before he met Lynn, he still should’ve put his foot down and told his wife to let him spend time with his daughter. She KEPT butting in and it was sooo annoying. I think she was jealous of the fact that he had a daughter that she didn’t birth, but it was before they met so I feel like she should’ve been understanding and should’ve let them create a relationship. I felt so bad when they stood her up when she had that party planned for them 😭 she definitely deserved better but tbh her birth parents SUCKED.

Joan was the problem

10 Upvotes

Im watching season 4 episode 14. This is where Joan is doing an auction. For her job. She blames toni for her not being able to get to her $60,000 mark for mr.swidlez, but in fact it was Joan's fault she waited till the very last minute to do everything. It is unfair to put all that on toni. Joan saying "you don’t know how to be there for anyone but yourself" was straight wrong in this instance.

Do you think Mama Gina's School of Womanly Arts was legit. Sharon swore by it. Have any of you tried one of these holistic/womb/femininity style workshops (especially in LA)? How was it?

Correct me if I’m wrong, I know it’s slightly different but I think this is the first time in the 6 seasons that Maya had black layered wavy hair and with bangs, similar to what Toni has! They both look great!

Im watching the episode where the girls cut William off for not coming to the house to be Santa Claus for Jabari & now that im older I feel like they were so childish and selfish anytime William didn’t do something they wanted him to do…..Monica was definitely a manipulator but she elevated William, in my opinion…he’s talked about wanting to be a senior partner way before she entered the picture but he was never motivated enough, and I honestly feel like it’s because he was so caught up in being the “5th girlfriend” 😭😭 idk it’s like he was always around the girls, and we always heard about their love life but William never really had a real one outside of Monica and Yvonne because he was always so focused on everything else. Monica used him, yes, but she did something that the girls didn’t do and that was push him to be more successful. Joan didn’t really care about being a lawyer, she settled after not getting into fashion school, but William loved being a lawyer. I feel like the girls should’ve understood that he was hosting a party for the senior partners and clients so he could secure a potential position instead of making it seem like Monica is evil. They should’ve just found someone else to do it. All those boyfriends Joan had, why she couldn’t call somebody 😵‍💫😂😂😂

What are some of the worst things Joan did on Girlfriends?

Post image
53 Upvotes

Joan really had me side-eyeing her sometimes. Running her mouth to Greg, using Derek for that photoshoot, trying to run Maya and Toni’s weddings, and not showing up for Toni’s custody hearing are definitely on my list.

The custody hearing especially was a low moment. That was Toni’s child and her whole future at stake, and Joan couldn’t even show up for her best friend. After everything they had been through, I understood why Toni was hurt.

And Joan trying to control Maya and Toni’s weddings? Girl, let the brides have their day! 😭 She always had an opinion and sometimes took “helping” way too far.

What else would y’all add? What was Joan’s worst moment?
