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

I would think the hurtful comments towards Lauren probably affect Ben as well. Who wants to read those types of comments about their fiancé or any of their family and friends.

Imo telling people to change themselves so they don't get bullied is kind of dangerous. Lauren is not doing anything harmful to anyone. Imo these bullies would find any reason or made up reason to harass her. Before bodyshaming and generally calling her trash, it was non stop 'you're trash compared to JoJo' then it was the plastic surgery claims, then whatever. And these bullies go OTT with their comments, IMO that's the problem.

I just think Lauren needs to do something more substantial. Why not turn the negativity into something positive. Look into a charity or a project about online bullying, work with them and post about it. People would take her more seriously, imo. Ben and a quote from Fitzgerald is not gonna cut it. jmo

My point being, that she's getting harassed because these bullies think she's been getting plastic surgery. It shouldn't matter if she has or hasn't, harassing her for it, yet another reason, is just wrong.

Why do people look for Bach people to do substantial things and look for them to be some sort or role models? They're Z liters because they took part in a reality dating show, not some good will charity show. Imo 95% of them are quite vain, into superficial things, that's gonna reflect on their sm. Jmo

@cocoasneeze I agree with your points. I was just baffled at the comments she gets .

The comments I've seen the most in the last few months are that she's not good enough for Ben/doesn't spend enough time with him, she's too skinny, and then it's the partying and how she's some wild party girl.

Not discounting that Lauren has her own crazy fans that will go after JoJo or whatever, but no doubt 100% much of the hate towards Lauren is from crazy obsessed JoJo fans. It's a problem all around, I suppose.

Anyway, I don't really follow any of these people that closely, including Lauren. But what I've seen people write to her is beyond cruel. Of course this impacts Ben as well, how could it not? I'm sure it also affects her mom, her sister, her dad, her friends, her brothers.... it's out of control.

I noticed Ben made a comment on his Twitter about the Disney weddings and it looks like it came from Chicago, Illinois. Anyone know why he there. Will Ben and Lauren be doing some pre advertising for the show on Sunday.

^ I'd have to disagree on that because I will say this, I'm surprised by the amount of comments that aren't actually coming from troll accounts, which are where the crazy fans are hiding behind for both parties.

When I look, there are a lot of normal people commenting negatively about her. They have their names in accounts. They have their own real pictures up. They have a good amount of followers themselves. For whatever reason, these people feel the need to comment negatively. It then gets escalated because the troll accounts come in. Then Lauren's friends come in saying some negative things about the people commenting negatively and then Lauren likes comments that are being negative towards the people commenting negatively. 

It's crazy. JMO

Telling someone to get thicker skin is not telling them to change themselves IMO. The simple fact is that Lauren can't control what people on the internet say about her, the only thing she can control is her reactions. It's nice that Ben stood up for her but realistically I expect nothing to change. Now what? She gon' b*tch and moan and have her family and friends harping on this sh*t forever? She's gonna keep reading her comment section and allowing people who don't matter to affect her life? She needs to get a freaking grip & IMO someone in her life should tell her that. All JMO.

First post, been reading here for a while...and have been a fan following Ben and Lauren for about a year now. I thought his post was sweet ..but she didn't even like the picture? and she has been on instagram today liking other things. Her mom and sister liked it though.
