Amanda Stanton - Bachelor 20 - BIP - Season 3 - Discussion

Agree sosleepy. I don't think Amanda's dumb. And I know
Plenty of women who stay in bad relationships forever so I think she is a strong woman. I think she knows she made a poor choice and isn't making excuses for it. In a live Instagram I heard her say she regrets moving josh in and wouldn't ever do it again. Amanda tries to be this strong Independent single mom and she isn't quite there. I think she sometimes struggles with self esteem and she has definitely made mistakes but no one is perfect. I'm very interested to read her book to be honest.

@sosleepy And I know you were joking. I have said many times: Fool me once shame you, fool me twice shame on me.
So it's not that I wish her harm, I just wish she would learn from her mistakes already, especially for the fact she is raising two children who happen to be female. I don't see her being a good female role model. IMO She puts the yo-yo to shame.

I agree. I could see if she met a guy off of the show and in the beginning he was fine and things eventually turned sour and she found out he wasn't a good guy. That happens often in our world. That's not what happened. She met this guy on a reality television show who already had a failed engagement and his ex-fiancé claimed he was an emotional/verbal abuser. There were clear signs on the show and the way he acted on it.

She chose to ignore it. Her ex husband did the same thing to her and even made matters worse by apparently repeatedly cheating on her. Josh had giant red flashing lights all around him. She chose to ignore it. All JMO

@Ash2214 Not only did she choose to ignore it with Josh once, though. She went back for seconds, thirds and maybe more. Hopefully the relationship is over. But that remains to be seen.  This is not an example for the kids. We teach our children not to let others physically put their hands on us, bully us etc. To yell "HELP!" when we need it. To run away.
Amanda needs to run away and not look back.

I hope Amanda does a lot of soul searching and therapy too, on why she falls for these horrible guys. Her hubby cheated and told her she was not good enough to find love, Josh.. well he is an emotionally abuse jerk, who controlled her and made her inferior. I hope her and her girls find happiness.

Okay.....I am not trying to nitpick and I'm not judging her at all - but i must say......I REALLY wish Amanda wouldn't put her kids out there so much. They are clearly adorable and she clearly loves them a lot, but there are some sick people out there. And her being in the public eye right now, it may create a danger somewhat. Hopefully not but its a risk. IMO

Amanda and her girls are at Disneyland. Glad she's focusing on them. They look so cute

Amanda Stanton @amandastantonnn
You know you've hit a breaking point in life when @RealitySteve somehow becomes your therapist    now go get a massage, you deserve it.

^

That was a good one! A dig at RS, a self depracative dig at herself, and very funny.

Yes, Amanda, you go get that massage and forget these crazy people even exist. Please!

I guess the tell-all full of Josh dirt aint happening? It might be for the better.
Maybe she actually is writing a children's book.

Maybe she's saving the dirt for the book. Has she ever mentioned what kind of book she's writing?
