BF vs. BFF



So last week Audrina went crazaaaaay about Lauren and Justin possibly hooking up. But I kind of saw this one coming... not the particulars necessarily, but the Audrina break-down for sure. Audrina is so simple-minded and emotionally abusive, it was only a matter of time before something like this happened. Don't you agree?

No. Apparently you don't. People seem to actually empathize with Audrina:
"Audrina was hurt and confused. If she was thinking clearly, she would have probably figured out that nothing had happened between Justin and Lauren. Yet, in her sensitive state of mine, it is entirely possible that she took the rumors as truth. In addition, Lauren's reaction to Audrina's initial confrontation did nothing to help Audrina. Instead of calmly and rationally denying that it happened and being supportive to Audrina, Lauren became defensive and demanded an apology. Defensiveness could be taken as Lauren having something to hide" one survey-taker rationalized.



Okay, I see your point: Justin isn't the greatest, most trust-worthy boyfriend in the world, but in my opinion he was really shaping up, buying Audrina loving gifts like that one blouse. But she didn't even seem to appreciate that little gesture. I guess I just think Audrina is emotionally retarded; she doesn't know how to convey emotions (literally, her face always has the same vapid expression) and so this outbreak just seemed like a different and irrational reaction for her. I should probably be more sympathetic though. She's clearly insecure and has let guys walk all over her from before the show even began. Also, she and Lauren were recently on the rocks what with the house/Lo situation and all, so maybe she immediately reverted to those feelings of betrayal from Lauren. Plus, Lauren and Justin Bobby were uber defensive, which is a little sketchy.

So, respondent #13, you convinced me. Audrina wasn't being actively insane. We'll see what happens tonight though.

Do you think Audrina was in the right or the wrong? Are her insecurities a good excuse for her actions?

Audrina is in trouble. Emotional trouble. Her insecurity about her relationship with Justin is at the heart of her reaction, and is crippling her ability to function, to the point where she could believe something as ridiculous as Justin hooking up with Lauren.Please, hasn't she been watching the show for the past three years? She expects to be treated like shit, by her boyfriend and by extension her friends -- and she will believe ridiculous things if they support that expectation. She has every reason to be insecure -- Justin has been mostly a crappy emotionally unavailable boyfriend. Everyone deserves better.
