That was hard to watch... And there is a lot to unpack obviously but here are my first thoughts. From the first minute of the stream Chrissie began it with a long, unnecessary Simpcast intro - as if this was going to be business as usual - and not as serious as it is. The intro also oddly happens to feature Melonie Mac more than most other regular cohosts of the show. (And how many times has she even been on in recent memory? 🤔) The point of this stream was to address a Melonie Mac interview that was the worst thing that has ever happened to her channel. And deciding to start it with that intro was tone deaf af. Chrissie then kept saying she didn’t understand how Melonie was connected to what was happening with the The Quartering. And that she chose one friend’s opinion (Melonie’s) who told her this wasn’t a big deal over the other friend (me) who told her this was a big deal and tried to signal her to take things seriously because I had a feeling Melonie was trying to manipulate her. And when she was confronted with the fact that the chat overwhelmingly actually confirmed what her other friend (me) tried to warn her about… She chose to side with Melonie. Did not hold her accountable on that interview and continued to do the same on this show. Even after Kim tried to explain it to her, she just glossed* right over that. Still didn’t call out Melonie for her behavior on her show. I don’t even think she still realizes it. Which is quite astounding. And she couldn’t issue a genuine apology to @BrittanyXVenti Which is why she’s very upset and has every right to be. There is so much more but I’m gonna leave it there for now.. But man... Tying your horse to The Melonie Mac wagon is an interesting choice...
