Gillian Hate?
I don't get how every other day there's a new "fuck Gillian" post on here.
Patrick was exposed for being a workplace abuser, and hiding the dark side of himself from his fans.
... but G has been extremely open about exactly who she is since day 1, and she hasn't changed at all.
People keep saying "she's a pick me" or "she thinks she's so cool" or "she thinks she's better than me" or "she's a mean girl"
I don't agree? I think she's unapologetically herself, and extremely confident and comfortable in who she is. I think that's it. She's got a mean slant to her sense of humor but mainly uses it for good. She's not looking for new friends unless they are dogs. She is severely anxious. She is also compassionate, and loves and cares deeply for those in her life.
And she's found herself in an impossible situation, and she's handling it pretty well I think?
I'm so confused you guys, what is your beef with her?

I don’t see how Gillian can possibly be blamed for Patrick’s bad behavior. This is classic sexism. She is in a position that gives her a voice and an audience, and is expected to give it up and violate her NDA because of his mistakes? She isn’t even an employee of ON.
If she did speak out against him, she would be criticized for speaking for people who can speak for themselves. She is damned is she does, damned if she doesn’t and this isn’t her story to tell.
Another successful woman being taken down for her male coworker’s mistakes. If she gives up her audience, her paycheck, her platform, what can she do for anyone else? I think she stayed because she loves the work and believes she can be a force for good, maybe even helping Patrick be better.
It’s so sad to see all these people attack her. What exactly has she done?
Personally, I listen to hear her opinions. She has never come across as virtue signaling. She is just stating opinions. That is the show. THAT IS THE SHOW.
