Hi again everyone.
I'm really gonna need your support for a while, but I'll tell you what, while what Kristen did was stupid and deplorable, we all make mistakes, and if I cast everyone aside who's pissed me off or upset me over some stupid mistake that they made, I'd be an extremely lonely person. I already b**** about being lonely, but I'd really be screwed if I did that. Stupid mistakes, Kristen has made them, Rob has made them, everyone's made them and we're all not exactly proud of those moments. Do I feel bad for Kristen and Rob? Yes. Do I feel bad for Liberty and Rupert? Yes. Was it a stupid mistake? Yes. Do I think that Kristen should feel sorry for Rob and what she did? Yes. Am I willing to throw her under the bus for what she did? No.
Did I throw Rob under the bus for getting Kristen to cheat on Mike with him? No. That's Rob's stupid mistake, and I'd remind him that him calling Kristen an adulterer would be like calling the kettle black. Now, I'd throw him under the bus for that one, because he did the same thing with Kristen when she was with Mike. In fact, because he pursued her so much, I do consider what Rob did to be worse, because it wasn't an isolated incident, while Kristen's fling with Rupert seems to be a random, accidental type of fling. Doesn't excuse Kristen from responsibility, but I hope that Rob will take that into consideration when he and Kristen talk about this.
And I totally agree with Kayla, in that when we put these people on a pedestal and hope that they won't fall, we're setting ourselves up for heart break, as well as those who we put up there. I love Kristen and Rob as individuals, as a couple, as people and as actors, and Kristen's actions do show that though she's young and flawed, that doesn't mark her as a bad person. Rob's actions with Kristen and Mike's relationship doesn't mark him as a bad person, either. I believe that Kristen and Rob are good people with good values, but it seems that, though she's made progress, that Kristen still has some inner demons effecting her.
What Kristen did wasn't right, but I still love her, and I'd still love Rob if he did something like this, which for all we know, he may have, or he might not have, we don't know and we can't make a fair call on that. I hope that Kristen and Rob, as usually rational people, will work this out, and I hope that Rob knew of this to some extent before Kristen's public apology. I'm just extremely sad for the both of them, and they both need our support and love, and we can't just fully forgive Kristen on the day that this happened. It's almost like the grieving process, where on one level, you accept it, but you have to go through all the steps to fully accept it. We have to take this the same way. On one level, I've forgiven Kristen, but it's gonna take time for me to fully forgive her.
In spite of what's happened, I still love Kristen, and I still love Rob and I'm gonna support them both, because right now, both of them need it more than ever.
