I agree.

the replies from lauren's tweet are hilarious! Lol oh lauren, tone down the hypocrisy please.

Well Lauren obviously hasn't done some club appearances so I don't find her tweeting that particular statement shading Josh hypocritical. IMO there is lot more that has happened in josh Amanda case that she knows far more than us . OR else why would a girl who hardly responds to her trolls on her SM waste her energy by throwing shade at Josh . And Lauren was the person who didn't judge Josh like everyone did when she was asked about Amanda and Josh relationship and what her thoughts were on Josh based of Andi's book. She just said she can't judge him just based on hearsay until she meets him in person .JMO

^ She's still sinking down to his level though. Soooo..she still comes off looking foolish IMO.

You brought up a good point, imo. I wonder what Lauren knows--or at least was told by DUH.
I think whatever shade she is throwing at Josh is because of her friendship with DUH. Right or wrong.

@Simon21 I was thinking the very same thing, since I haven't seen her respond to negativity on SM hardly at all, and she has had more than her share. Why is she on Josh's case so much. IA Amanda must have told her things.

I'm sorry, but I can't take Lauren or whoever else that defends Amanda by shading Josh seriously, because Amanda allowed Josh's behavior for so long..and continously stayed with him/went back to him. As recently as last weekend. Instead of Lauren thinking she is being a good friend by shading Josh publicly, she should really be telling Amanda how pathetic she's coming across, and telling her she's worth more/deserves more, and to move on once and for all IMO.

*Sorry for the double post.

I've already noted that Amanda and Lauren most likely tell each other a lot about their relationships when dissecting their dumb azz captions a few days ago. Obviously, it's significant to believe Amanda in Lauren's point of view..but again, Amanda is the cray that stayed/went back with Josh after suspected numerous instances of emotional/verbal "abuse." That chick obviously has some sort of issue when it comes to Josh at this point. So, yeah, her words can't be taken all that seriously, considering she had no problem staying/going back to Josh so many times IMO.

Lauren seems very harsh all of a sudden. We need a fictional novel "Duh it's not okay".

I would think Lauren has had many discussions with Amanda, before and after the relationship. If everyone on BIP was warning her, and while Amanda was with Josh, I would think she confided in Lauren. For all we know it could have been Lauren's encouragement to Amanda to split.

I think there is more to this story than just Lauren shading Josh.

Yes definitely Amanda is at fault to certain extent, but sometimes when heart is involved(which I beleive wasn't always fake in case of Amanda)you may want to believe and give that person a second chance. MANY I know has been in that position . IMO Amanda may have given a small window of opportunity and seems like Josh took it and made it worse . And IMO Lauren surely has given Amanda you are worth more pep talk already . But sometimes things are easier said than done.JMO .

Per the bolded: I hope she is. We don't know.
This is going to sound strange coming from me having called Amanda "Duh". I don't even know how to say it without sounding snarky.
What if Amanda uses all the tools she has and still comes up short? I mean none of these ladies appear to be Rhodes scholars.
DUH--sorry old habits die hard, stayed with the ex forever and ever until whatever dawned on her to leave. I don't see the situation much different with BOR, only she broke it off much quicker and had no offspring. #blessings.
