Petition for dr. Honda to host the next reunion. Seriously.

People who are “brutally honest” are more interested in brutality than honesty

Every time I've ever met someone who says they're "just blunt" or they "just tell the truth", they were just using it as an excuse to be mean to people. Hannah needs to realize that her opinions are not fact, and her believing them doesnt mean they're true or helpful.

[HarrietteAirhart]

Hannah did an interview recently and said that her parents were loving and they are close. She clarified that when she said “cut off” throughout the show, she meant financially cut off. When she went to college, her parents stopped paying for things for her. But she clarified as well that if she was ever in a tough spot and needed money, her parents would have helped her. Honestly it makes her attitude seem even worse

Hannah needs a reality check. Her behavior around Nick was unacceptable.

[jessicanowe]

Hannah went on an interview and essentially said that she treated Nick badly because he let her 😖 "I abused you, but YOU LET ME abuse you, so it's really your fault" is pretty much what shes still saying about her behavior

[borcsaa]

Finally Dr. Honda saying the things about Hannah I have been waiting to hear all along! Such a relief! 🙌🏽🎉

[triq]

She really had him apologizing for not reading a book 😭 that whole scene was so sad

[nicemeetyou]

They need to replace the hosts. Really unbelievable how they never ask even the basics. How do you not ask Tyler "What was the status of you and your kids before going on the show"

[RachelleJervis]

Thank you for highlighting the cycle of abuse, the use of “respect” to mean control, gaslighting, and the isolation of emotionally abusive intimate relationships.

[markpetty]

It was genuinely upsetting to see Nick abused like this and I was stunned when others took Hannah’s side at the reunion. Marisa was the biggest shock to me because I had previously thought she was a nice and balanced person. Ramses and Stephen - two less than perfect individuals - seemed to join in to deflect from their own behaviour. I respected the disgusted looks on Taylor’s and Garrett’s faces, you could tell they thought it was wrong.

[Duckduckobtusegoose]

I really appreciate this episode to recap the abuse Hannah perpetuated towards Nick. By the time I had watched the reunion, the specifics and spine-chilling tone/statements she exhibited had become foggy in my mind. This refresh really reopened my eyes with the back to back scenarios. The way she speaks to him is like she doesn’t even like him, let alone love him. It feels like resentment and just plain mean/hurtful.

[jessicanoellejp]

The fact that Marissa defended her, Katie defending her, Alex defending her... but they all said that Hannah is NOT a good friend, shows that Hannah has this "intimidating aura" 😳 that Regina George presence of "I want her to like me, because she could destroy me" thinking.

It's pretty scary tbh. And idk how a woman like Hannah can be saved from herself.

Victims create victims
Survivors create survivors

[Deeenie-bt]

Definitely some sexism at play here with how they let Hannah off the hook. If the roles were reversed I don't think they'd call it "direct."

[ShariHanneman]

I really hope someone gets Nick to watch this. And Dr. H ‘s other reactions to their scenes. I felt sooo bad for him the whole time 😢

[kirstybrownlie]

I defo wanted Hannah to see herself played back and think "oh wow" and make changes. Hope dashed.

[andianderson]

I’m sure Nick was slightly irritating and is the kind of guy who always forget to take out the trash—but that’s a reason to break up, not to try to break someone’s spirit. She took a guy that maybe you could justify poking fun at and throwing to the curb quickly and made him a hero. I can’t believe how calm he stays. Dude deserves to be forgiven for every single chore he forgot to do and every Rico Suave comment. He’s clearly capable of being a great friend even if he’s annoying to live with. Poor guy.

[yourgirlsdv]

How dare youtube hide this from me for 20 minutes

[mizcat]

Nick has had lots of opportunities to bash Hannah, including a podcast show, and has chosen not to. He seems like a genuinely nice guy. Hannah just seems so insecure. When you know you are being rude then its no longer you just being blunt. You are just choosing to be a jerk face!

[nathaliemurillo-flores]

I love how justified I feel watching your reaction videos. While watching the season Hannah really triggered me and made me feel this pit in my stomach that I now realize is unresolved trauma from this kind of relationship.
