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

Lennoxcolinrolland wrote:^ Or if she gains weight.

The cruelest comment Lauren (and Amanda) got was on a pic Amanda posted from Stagecoach weekend. Some lady said "skeletons aren't attractive. Yuck." And Lauren replied 1 minute later with "what is wrong with you."

The comment has since been deleted by the lady, because she was getting a lot of flack.

Nah. If she gains weight it's back to "you are getting fat!" "She walks like a duck!" Etc, etc, etc.

Honestly... what fixes it is either A. A marriage to Ben and just fading to normal every day life like the other Bachelor Marrieds. or B. A breakup with Ben and people won't care nearly as much once she's not in a franchise couple status. Also, just letting more time pass also helps. People will eventually move on to the next targets.

Lauren has been trashed on ig like this for months and months. She's snapped back about 10 times. As of now, her job is based on sm, so shutting it down isn't an option. I simply don't get, how these people have the energy to follow someone they hate so much, and comment negatively in every picture. That ish is exhausting. And, IMO, of course it gets to her, show me a human who doesn't get affected by constant negative comments about their body shape, and I'll show you 15 who are affected by it. Jmo

I don't think anyone is telling her to stop posting but if it's affecting her then why post at all? I know it's technically her "job" to post on SM, but it's becoming a crappy one if her friends have to come to her rescue all the time because of trolls. I still think she needs to go back to being a flight attendant or some other job. I follow the blogger SomethingNavy on IG and she was being skinny shamed. She called it out on her IG story and then told her followers to send her DMs if they have experienced something similar and she posted the DMs. I thought that was sweet and a great way to turn things around for the positive. IMO, I just don't think Lauren is good with SM yet.

I would say go back to being a Flight Attendant. But what to they make a year? Like 30K maybe? She can probably make that in a couple adds a month easy.

I don't think her stopping her work as a flight attendant was her choice. I understood from a few interviews, that her employer encouraged her to quit and change to PR side of things on Alaska Airlines, but it seems like there isn't that much work for her on the PR side of the company. Not that long ago she started her blog, and she seems to like it. Imo it's easy to say from sidelines, that she should just get another job, her third one in less than two years, if the SM bullying gets to her too much. Sm makes bullying way too easy. Jmo.

I think she can still do her SM ads and be a flight attendant, IMO.

^^ Of course she probably can. But that's not shutting down her SM.

Lauren turned off her comments again.

And she posted this for a second time: https://instagram.com/p/BTpOb4oD8LS/

She seems to really love this piece. She named her blog after it, posted it on IG like 6 months ago, and has it hanging in her beauty room. Both times she posted it on IG, she was dealing with a lot of negative comments.

Lauren, you're sooooo deep. If you want to be taken seriously then act like it. Jmo.

Her beauty room? She has a beauty room? My beauty room is the bathroom!

It's more like a closet. There isn't a closet in her and Ben's bedroom, so she uses the spare bedroom (too small for really anything) as a closet/beauty room. She has her clothes hanging up on a rack, a dresser, a makeup desk.

Seriously, is this a thing now? I've never heard of such a thing.

YouTube. The makeup gurus on YouTube seemingly started the trend.
