Ben Higgins - Lauren Bushnell - Bachelor 20 - Discussion - #7

No ones say she can't go on a girls trip.  Or that Ben should or shouldn't have problems with her going on said trips.  Or that she can't cut loose and have some fun.  

But if she's going to get drunk act like this everytime, why post it?  It does her no favors.  And she may not have posted this time but she has plenty in the past.  

Personally I think she needs to find something to occupy her time more.  To me it seems as if she can only be around Ben and live if Denver for x amount of days before she has to fly free and go wild again.

Agree. Much ado about nothing to me. Really not cool of Jen to post this stuff and take advantage of her "friend" like this. Telling to me that Lauren herself posts next to nothing, and Jen focuses like 10 snaps all on F1 Lauren, who doesn't even seem aware she's being filmed and posted on the internet while she is clearly drunk. Who needs enemies when you can have friends like this? Again, I personally don't think anything Lauren did is some big scandal, but there are people out there (psychotic people like MM especially), who rip apart the littlest things she does. It would have been kind of Jen to edit herself a bit. 

The only thing I will rag on Lauren here for is her ridiculous jerky dancing. Not cause she's engaged or whatever, but because it's terrible in general.  I'd have that opinion whether she was single, engaged, divorced or widowed. Not a good look, but not like a sin.

I really don't have a problem with what Lauren does in her daily life, as I would be doing the same things (spending down time with my significant other, traveling with friends, whatever.) It's moreso the way she behaves when she does what she does in her daily life that's a little OTT. Especially when drunk...but a lot of ppl have been there and done that..though, in their early adult years, not at 27 IMO.

I have a simple solution for Lauren: if you want to go get drunk on girls trips follow these steps.
1. No social media from anyone on the trip with you.
2. Don't go to a place crawling with thousands of other people. Find an exclusive resort with some privacy.

With those two items we wouldn't be talking about this every time she does this.

IMO Lauren just has a need to take it OTT. It certainly is Lauren's choice to behave however she wants but she can't be upset if her actions have consequences based on her SM following. Lauren seems like she has a need to act out and IMO that is an indicator of unhappiness. I hope she figures herself out and heads in a more positive direction.
I agree that Jen and LB did her no favors with their posts but Lauren gave them the footage of her actions so ultimately it is on her IMO. There are lots of ways to party, drink and have fun without making a display of yourself. I find Lauren to be in a self destructive mode. Sad IMO.

Why on earth would Lauren need or deserve a telling off from MM or Ben's mother? Who did she harm? She danced in a bikini, danced badly, but that's it. She doesn't deserve or need to be told off by anyone. JMO.

Azz out or not, there is nothing sexual about the way she is moving. I could understand if she were deliberately trying to draw attention to herself but for all I know she could be stretching. JMO.

I don't think this is the video that is being referred to. The other one apparently is more raunchy, but nobody has attached it.

It's pretty telling when the fan accounts, that post everything that these two do and defend them to the ends of the earth, end up only picking a couple of snaps from last night to post and didn't share all of the other ones

I don't think people are saying that she needs/deserves anything, but recently she has been in a SM war of sorts with MM over her support of Amanda and mamma bear has been attacking Lauren as a result. MM attacks even without adding this as further ammunition. Lauren is just making herself a bigger target.

I don't know. I am beginning to wondering if she is trying to do something to p*ss off Ben so that he is the one who ends their relationship, so she can play the heartbroken scenario. Maybe with the way tptb are changing things up become a bette?

It looks like Ben is in Arizona for business? Anyone have clarification there?

^^ He was in AZ since Tuesday for work . He is back to Denver yesterday night according to his tweets location .

I think this is just her Ott having fun. I think this was her way before Bach, and will be her way for a while. IMO it has nothing to do with Ben. JMO
