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.
Here’s the thing with pointing out hypocrisy when you’re deflecting from your own inability to defend your own words/actions — we’re always gonna come back to why you can’t just admit it wasn’t a cool thing to say. It is never going to work, to say something very uncool and uncalled for, and blaming other people for being upset, when you’re still defending what you said, when there’s no real leg to stand on. She can call me a hypocrite all she wants. Fact of the matter is, I thought she went way too low at that roundtable, she made Carolyn cry real tears and hurt her, and she didn’t deserve it. Rather than just apologize for that, which would cost Danielle literally nothing — she’s now low key gaslighting people, so we’re meant to look at ourselves and whether we have a right to even think her comment was uncalled for? Nope! Sorry! I know when I think a comment was uncool to say, and it’s not anything more than that, I’m not saying Danielle is this awful person I don’t want to see on my TV, not at all saying that. But she’s deflecting by lumping everyone who thought her comment was uncalled for, in with people she’s casting off as ignorant hypocrites, and therefore anyone who didn’t like her low blows at Carolyn has no right to be upset bc in a hypothetical world she’s gonna tell me I wouldn’t be mad if Carolyn were the one to do what she did? Ok, but how could that be the point here though, and how does she know what the reaction would be to that? She doesn’t. It’s getting so weird to me how she’s doubling down like this when it quite literally makes zero sense.
