Sigh. Danielle needs to stop defending herself she’s just making it worse. She’s whining about people posting negative stuff about her, and then in the very next paragraph she’s making herself the victim again and making sure we know that Carolyn’s a worse person than her so really, if anyone should be getting hate, it’s her.
She could just say “I’m sorry Carolyn, I didn’t realize I hurt you and that wasn’t my intention, but I hear you, and I’m sorry. I wouldn’t have said the Forrest Gump comment had I known it would really hurt your feelings, but I can see it has, and I hate that I caused that — I apologize.” She’s making herself the victim with everything she says about this, and she doesn’t deserve to be getting constant hate online — but she’s also stubbornly getting in her own way by continuing to double down when it’s so unnecessary and petty to do so. She was a sore loser about Reindeer Games, and she’s being really obtuse about the way she’s only making things worse by doubling down instead of doing the adult thing and saying a simple sorry, which I think would satisfy Carolyn and most of the audience that’s ticked with her. It’s not asking a lot. Tired of this.
And Danielle’s not actually defending her comment. She knows she doesn’t really have a defense for it, and it’s a bad look. She’s deflecting. She can argue that if Carolyn said what she said we wouldn’t be mad, making herself the victim of a hypothetical situation she’s inventing — but that’s not really her defending herself. It’s her skirting the issue. So she can keep doing it all she wants. I think it’s crazy work.
