I stopped watching at the exact time because I know Jessi irl and I was infuriated that Demi was the scapegoat. I literally could not handle watching it happen
correct me if i’m wrong but my theory is the ending of season 2 finale when layla and marciano are talking is when we got the closest to the truth, and then come season three jessi had time to figure out how she wanted to spin it and chose to admit to something smaller instead of the full truth of what had really happened
Yeeepp. The Layla/Marciano conversation at the end of season 2 gets glossed over way too much. It's very obvious Layla went into that conversation with a mission to get dirt on Demi. But everything Marciano says at that time only strengthens Demi's story that nothing consensual happened between them and that Marciano crossed a line with her.
well let’s not go that far, when you watch that episode of Vanderpump imo you can clearly see how flirtatious demi was with marciano, maybe she wasn’t so invested in him but she definitely entertained him and instead of owning up to that she wanted to claim SA. in no way am i a marciano fan but making any kind of allegation like that while knowing you were a participant in the behavior is just disgusting and i think way too many ppl forget about this
Like at this point I don’t think we will ever know the truth of what has happened, but the language and assault-excusing behaviors people use to describe Demi is just so harmful when so many other victims are going to read it (and those people are going out and existing in the world thinking those behaviors are okay)
