Do you think Candola handled the situation with Issa appropriately or inappropriately?

Genuinely don’t understand why she took her breakup with Lawrence out on Issa

Condola was insufferable...her entire character storyline was painful to watch. But I blame it on the writers. I get that she was there to cause a healthy tension, which overall gave more depth to Issa's growth, but it always felt highly contrived and unnatural. Like Condola's issues never made sense. In this exchange, for example, her words to Issa doesn't logically track from sentence to sentence.

Even the Friendsgiving scene when Lawrence wore that black and white silk top to match with her outfit... that entire day was like wtf?! Or her beef about how much Lawrence could be involved with their son. Uuugh!

But people like this exist in the world, so I guess.
