We don’t know what happened between them irl, but one thing is for sure, from the start during the first 2 seasons,( this was right after the first season) they were not even trying to hide,( at the very least) their mutual crushes on one another. Like this and in every interview they ever did.
I forgot about Heather doing a whole verse about being obsessed with Naya on “Nuthin’ But a Glee Thing.” Same, Heather.
I didn't expect the video to make my cry so much. I'm sure in a way it's helping her too but I still think it's admirable she noticed the fans sort of flocking to her for closure and responded to it. She didn't have to. She wrote before that she wanted Naya's legacy to remain and it does kind of feel like idk like she's taking up the mantle? I have a lot of respect for her. I doubt I could do the same in a similar position.
it really was something I didn’t know I needed to hear. a lot of us og brittana fans have felt that Heather didn’t care as much as Naya but she’s made it clear that’s not the case like she said she just didn’t realize the impact of what they were doing until later probably when she got social media when the show was almost over and although Naya may have understood more and put her neck out for us way back in the day and better articulated her allyship Heather deserves a lot of credit for what she’s done too. especially now. it does feel like she’s picking up the torch which is really something she didn’t need to do considering the show’s been over for 5 years. so much love and respect for her. for life.
