#i didn't tag megan because i'm not sure she watched yet

I am the anon who mentioned this isn't PR, wouldn't be good PR , Backgrid, how the fandom wondered why Chris doesn't have the same career as his peers, and wasted potential. I'm going to get into observations I've made since coming to the fandom in 2020 after watching Snowpiercer.

I feel further validated by the latest events.

What we're seeing is the Chris before Marvel PR cleaned him up. He was always a fuckboi pre Marvel. He hasn't changed or evolved. He surrounds himself with yes people who never challenge him or encourage him to level up because they know if he did they would get left behind and lose the freebies he gives them. The saying "You're the average of the 5 people you surround yourself with" applies here. His friend group appears to be immature, thirsty, and too overly involved in his life. Just because they knew him before fame doesn't mean anything. I think there have been quality women he dated who were turned off by his clique of friends always in their business and face. Not to mention the same vacations, the same restaurants, the same everything. Groundhog Day. Who wants to date someone like that?

I didn't realize Jim Toth use to be his agent. Look at what he did for his wife Reese Witherspoon. Reese gave an interview explaining that she had aged out and was unhappy with her career. She said Jim pushed her to create her production company which she did. She also used Jim's connections to launch Draper James, her book club, podcast, and other ventures. Jim also helped rebrand Matthew McConaughey. He had the Golden Year for Dallas Buyer's Club and True Detective. He turned down the Wolf of Wall Street that got Jonah Hill an Academy Award nomination because of money. I'm sure Jim tried to get him to the next level.

Chris directed one movie. It didn't get the response he wanted yet he didn't seek directing gigs on television to hone his skills. Denzel Washington directed episodes of Grey's Anatomy. Other actors and actresses have done the same. Defending Jacob didn't get awards recognition so he returns to comfort zone of romantic comedies and action films instead of trying again with the drama genre. Look at his ex Jessica. She created her production company when she didn't get the roles she wanted. The Sinner and Candy changed her career for the better. Chris is capable of so much more with his career. He gives up after one try.

The latest mess is just his immaturity and wanting to be a rebel. He'll retreat when he becomes a punchline while being compared to Dane Cook and John Mayer. That's where this train is headed if this goes public. He has coasted off his reputation for being kind to fans, crew members, and staff. That gets celebrities a lot of leeway with fans when we have other celebrities who make staff and fans miserable.

His messiness is more on display due to social media and not having Marvel backing him. Studios heavily invested in certain actors and actresses always keep their PR image intact.

He will either become a cliched joke or find his own version of Amal Clooney.

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes, Anon. (BTW, would you like to pick an emoji for future use as an ask tag?)

I do think people don't understand how much benefit he got from having two PR teams, Disney and Megan, cleaning up behind him from 2011-2019. We've already seen the "oopsies" that have started happening once Disney/Marvel dipped out. And now that he's full-blown in the messiness of a mid-life crisis, who knows what else we'll see.

But, I'm not seeing anything over the last couple of days that changed my mind from "situationship" that has PR angles unfortunately attached. I don't think it makes it somehow more special that he coasted up in NYC for some Broadway shows when he's got some filming downtime. If nothing else, to me it just makes it look even more like an arranged meet-up.

I’ m sorry… CHRISHELL WHAT NOW?? please tell me everything

oh my god, okay. So on Friday, Netflix dropped the reunion for season 5. And I was like a kid on Christmas morning, I got up early to watch it before work because they'd never done a reunion before.

I follow Chrishell on Instagram so I knew she had said she was nervous going into filming the reunion and then that the experience was really draining. But Christine didn't go to the reunion, no FaceTime appearance even, so I had wondered what was so draining because Christine brings the drama. When they got to the part of the episode where they talked about the Chrishell/Jason breakup, it was clearly very emotional – Jason AND Brett cried, okay? So I thought, oh, duh, of course that was nerve-wracking and draining.

BUT THEN.

wait, let me back up. Around the beginning of April, I think, Chrishell posted a slideshow of photos to her IG feed with a caption about being grateful for the people in the pics. I saw this photo:

and I was like, wow that's hot, but I figured there was no way it was anything. But someone commented something like "fell in love with an emo girl" and Chrishell REPLIED and said that should have been the caption!!!! Then I saw a TikTok about whether or not they were dating and points were made! but I just kind of figured I'm not that lucky, that will never happen.

So Tan France from Queer Eye was the host and he asked Chrishell if she was dating anyone. And she was kind of flustered and then I realized she seemed really nervous.

And he pushed her a little, which I guess because he knew she had something she was planning to say, and she said she'd been spending time with someone who is very important to her, their name is G Flip, and they're non binary so they use them/them pronouns.

I'm assuming if you know who Chrishell is, you know that Selling Sunset is not exactly a queer space, yeah? I could be wrong but I don't think there's been any LGBTQ+ representation really. I was so floored and elated, like good for her!!!!!!!!!! I felt for her a lot in that moment, because she must have known that there was no guarantee that people were going to understand or be accepting and she shared her truth anyway. (And just as a side note, a lot of people thought the Jason relationship was fake for PR, so that must have been on her mind too, are people going to think this is fake? which must be so fucking hard) And she said that she's still figuring things out, this is all very new to her, but she's drawn to people's energy and she's really happy right now.

in the afternoon, she posted to her IG story and it was like an update on how the renovation of her closet is going and I was like come on, really Chrishell, BUT THEN. She was like "so yeah, this is the closet and I'm going to come out of it now"

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LIKE SHE REALLY DID THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
