You've been asking for this one... and we listened! What do YOU think is Rory's worst moment? Let us know below!

[piperrobb]

Skipping school to visit Jess and missing her mom’s graduation should have at least been mentioned.

[Harrian]

Lorelai calling Rory the other woman was great. She didn’t hold back and it was well deserved.

[mystikceleste]

The one that I hate, that wasn’t on here, is the first time Dean and Rory break up. Instead of telling anyone why, she lets the entire town blame Dean and think he’s a horrible person.

[Dani-somg]

Gaslighting Dean while flirting and cheating with Jess was really bad too.

[carolinechadwick]

The problem with her was that no one ever gave her any criticism and she was treated as the golden child who could not do wrong. She wasn’t prepared for any rejection, like what happened with Mitchum. She had no resiliency and she acted like the main character all the time ( I guess she kinda was but idk)

[fatimanabizadah]

She manages to ruin all her mom’s big moments in life such as missing Lorelai’s graduation by hanging out in NY with Jess, Ruining her mom’s inn opening by sleeping with Dean, ruining her mom’s get together with Luke and not being there when she gets engaged with him. She also always complains about the grandparents to her mom and never defend herself, letting her mom taking all the heat.

[sofiashrestha]

Well everyone makes mistakes but one thing annoying about rory making mistake is her attitude. She takes no accountability for her actions. That's the problem.

[evanstallard]

I think kissing Jess while she was with Dean should have been at least an honorable mention. Jess was a fan favorite, but Dean didn’t deserve to be treated like that.

Although Mitchum WAS being a jerk when he told Rory that she wasn't cut out for journalism, he turned out to be 100% accurate. She did completely unprofessional things, such as failing to prepare for a job interview, and fall asleep whilst interviewing a subject.

[tanvikotkar]

Forget Jack and the door in Titanic, I argue there was enough space around the tree for the boy and Rory.

[josefk]

Rory was a good cautionary tale about gifted kids. She spent her high school years and childhood being told how super smart she was. Rory got perfect grades and Yale and it was effortless. When people stopped being impressed by her pile of books, it turned her world upside down. She seemed to think she was born smart and did not do anything that she was not good at right away. Mitchum Huntsberger turned out to be right.

[trinaq]

As a teen, I wanted to be Rory. Now, as an adult, I'm glad that I'm nothing like her. The revival really ruined her character, and who thought that the entire "Forgetting about her boyfriend Paul" gag was ever funny?! 🤦🏽‍♀️

[wanderer]

I liked Rory better the first 2 seasons of the show because most of her issues could easily be explained by her age and lack of experience. As she got older, the same traits just became obnoxious. It's like she spent her entire life be praised and patted on the head for a job well done, and then was completely flabbergasted anytime that didn't happen.

[DesiCat]

this list doesn't mention her missing her mom's graduation/celebration of completing education. Throughout the series we hear how special their bond is, only for Rory to miss her mom's big night for a boy on a whim. If Lorelei had done this to Rory, she would have thrown a fit the size of the Gilmores house

[heatherheatherandheather]

I mean it’s ok to have a flawed character that makes messy decisions but the thing is she didn’t learn and I wish they had gave her a better character development in the revival

[mariafortino]

What was bizarre to me about her affair with Logan is that they could have just simply been together. If they loved each other so much, then be together.

[Marylsa]

The grown up version off Rory was an absolute joke, she was more mature in the OG as a 16 year old then a 30 something

[gabrielleporter]

The paper rory wrote at Yale was so mean- i think that really showed her self centered-ness because all she was thinking about was getting in good at the Yale Daily News and not the actual artist she was writing about. Calling out her weight and skills in a mean way instead of constructive criticism, or even taking about other ballerinas. She wasn’t thinking about anyone but herself, and was hurting other without realizing what she was doing was hurtful

[cduni]

Kinda sad how Mitchum turned out to be 100% right about Rory 😬😬😬
