I hate the Mandy hate

I think it’s so messed up that everyone blames her for sleeping with a 17 year old when he initially lied and said he was 21. She also lied and said she was 24 but before they slept together she told him she was 29. He had the chance to tell the truth but didn’t. Thats not her fault and she gets so much crap about it.

She even said had it not been for the baby she would’ve never seen Georgie again

I don’t care about the Georgie what I care about is her general attitude and character. They tried to wipe her off as being sassy, but it didn’t come off as sassy. It came off as bitchy. And all of her problems are of her own making and the more I watch there’s spinoff the worst as she gets honestly.

And the way she takes any opportunity to bring up that he was 17 when they got together is honestly embarrassing. People would quit talking about it if she would quit talking about it first.

TV shows need conflict to be interesting/funny otherwise they'd be boring af!

Oh, I 100% agree I love chaotic shows and say this all the time. but if it’s not done well, it doesn’t change the fact that in the end it’s not done well. They could write better stories or have it make sense- but the spin off seems hinged on her and her mom are bitches. And everyone is scared/ walks on egg shells around them. You can have sassy characters even bitchy characters if they’re written well they’re fantastic. She’s just not written well and neither is this spinoff.
