Larbie does it because they want the attention. ***imo*** Just like Libby claps back at posters commenting about her drinking during her pregnancy so maybe just don't post pics of yourself at a bar when there are so many other choices of pics to post! It's all for attention and they just own it. IMO

She set the record straight when some crazies thought she was drinking alcohol. Here again as always, people were quick to jump to conclusions. Being pregnant does not mean one should not drink non alcohol drinks at a bar or anywhere else. In my opinion, people are jealous . When is a wedding date a secret or classified information. So many other things to worry about and not whether or not somebody announced their wedding date or the gender of their unborn child. Glad their attention seeking is working' if it wasn't, people won't be commenting. The couple is winning. All my opinion

This is someone who made an instagram account for a fetus and gets bothered when their fans are wondering if she was drinking or not. Laughable couple.

All IMO ^^^

She felt harassed and insulted in her home by the interviewer, people cut short or walk out on silly interviews all the time. She had every right to end rude interview. As for the instagram, those who matter to the couple follow the account, including the in-laws on both sides, and followers are growing. There are those who look forward to the weekly posting on the account. Other peoples' opinion appear to be meaningless and worthless. JMO

As for releasing the wedding date and babies stuff, that's, like, the epitome of what the franchise wants to pretend it's all about. Of course (IMO, at least) they would feature that on the premiere of The Bachelor. It would probably happen more with other couples too, but they don't make it long enough to make it to the marriage/babies stage for ABC to exploit. Several other couples have had "exclusives" from magazines, "teasing" their non-existent wedding plans, but of all the modern couples from the main shows, Arie and Lauren are the only ones actually making things happen. TPTB are going to milk that for all that it's worth, considering who knows when there will be another couple that tangibly looks like it'll be successful. Even if A&L are controversial. Actually, scratch that, especially because they're controversial. Brings in the viewers, after all.

All JMO.

Since the franchise isn't paying for the wedding, if I were the couple, I will demand they pay up, unless the contract stipulates those kinds of obligations, JMO

Nothing screams insecurity and attention seeking like making an instagram for an unborn child, imo.
L that, nothing new. People jump up and down when people the dislike do what apparently is not newiboLRC wrote:The irony of having Becca on a profile picture and talking about Insecurity

Others in the entertainment industry have done it and will continue to do that, nothing new. ***edit***It is their child, let child welfare folks handle that if they think it is a problem. Has zero insecurity implication. We find fault where none exist. JMO.

Please pardon my ignorance,
When does a comment or posting become cyber bullying/harassmen/shading/shaming of the subject of discussion, e.g. an individual or a couple.Trying to understand when that line is crossed and will it be condoned...curiosity is getting the best of me, temporarily

Please refer to the site rules. They are pretty specific. We do not discuss rule clarifications of a lengthy extent in a discussion thread. We can handle those in pms.
Suffice it to say in a discussion thread, cast are fair game for the good, bad and/or ugly within our rules.
Discussion of members and their povs or posts are not.

Just like people jumped to conclusion when they were in Maldives, turned out Becca still pursued Arie and convinced him to fly to Maldives from Australia. Glad Lauren put her feet down on that. Listen to their interview with Ben H and Ashley I.

How was Becca supposed to be still pursuing Arie when she was in the middle of filming her own season? We know from former leads how they are cut off from contact and just how little sleep they get because they are so busy. And she had made it pretty clear at the AFTR that she was over him.

It was producers pulling their usual shenanigans, just like when they brought in her ex Ross at the end of Arie's season. It is drama. It is shock value. It is the same usual cr*p when they bring ex leads to give advice to the newest lead. Same old, same old. People like to defend those they like and criticize those that don't. I personally don't have an issue with any criticism of any cast member as long as it is based on facts.

@Sprite Agreed. IMO, it's all pretty much a ratings game.

I kind of wonder if Lauren is egging on those kinds of comments. She could, and probably should have, pointed out that she wasn't drinking when she posted that pic. It would have nipped all those criticisms in the bud, imo.

I wouldn't be surprised. A click is a click.

You may want to listen to the Ben H and Ashley I podcast for their interview with the couple, Listen from start to finish. I believe the link was posted some pages back. If she was over Arie, she wouldn't personally want him to fly to Maldive and asking him where his head was at. And it appears Lauren set the parameters of the encounter, she was the one who told the producers when they contacted Arie that if Arie was going to fly to Maldives, that Becca would have to ask for that, and she gave her reasons. Arie then talked about the conversation with Becca. Listen to the podcast yourself.

No one should have issue with constructive criticism, without malice. The criticism do not appear to be based on facts but on perception and subjective conclusions. All my opinion
