Oh shit.

erm I wasn’t at all involved in this (I met her at the concert last year through someone I met up with and I didn’t deal with her much myself because I’ll be honest I wasn’t keen, so I just didn’t engage (which is what I do when I don’t like a vibe or don’t gel with someone) and didn’t learn about everything until after it happened) but I know what happened was very bad and very toxic and it that account is her, I think people should know.

so anyone who wants to reblog this to share the word, or who would be able to better confirm it is the same person (I’ve looked on the blog and it does seem so to be due to the language, the posts, the tags, and the profile icon), please feel free to do so

Y’all when I tell y’all I’m usually a very open minded person but this time I just can’t. LITERALLY WHAT EVEN WAS THIS EPISODE. I wanna preface that aye if Ya’ll enjoyed that episode then hey great on y’all. Me personally I didn’t like it one bit and it makes me sad because I really love this show. But honestly this past season has been nothing but disappointing. The writers set up so many amazing plot lines just to not do ANYTHING with them. For example, the Elias plotline at the beginning could have been dragged out a little longer. I know it’s supposed to be a light hearted sitcom, but this is not an impossible thing to do. Look at other shows like The Good Place for example, it was still light hearted comedy but had space for serious plot-lines. Which is why it’s beyond me that a show that claims it’s a “comedy that encourages people to talk,” can’t do what it’s claiming.

Literally everything has fit the fan and here are my complaints:

1.) LITERALLY WHY IS EPISODE ABOUT LOVE, I love shipping characters as much as the next person BUT HOLY. it’s like they took every unique thing about each character, squashed it and made them all desperate for love. LIKE LOOK AT SASS, he has such cool potential and now he’s being reduced to a “relationship-less virgin” by the writers (#freemyhomeboysass). They make these new relationships that NO ONE asked for (patience and Trevor I’m looking at y’all). DO NOTHING WITH THEM and then leave the actual ships that people like in the dirt. I literally would’ve been okay if there wasn’t a crumb of Hmoney , like that’s fine not everyone likes that relationship. And I would’ve want Trevor to start dating a fish before that whole awkward, mind-numbing fiasco with Patience. ALSO THE POTENTIAL FOR A JEALOUS HETTY PLOT AND THEY JUST THREW IT AWAY I CANT. #BRINGBACKPEAKGHOST

2.) The jokes are so overused. “Oh Sass is such a virgin,” “Flower is so dumb. She has a short term memory.” THESE ARE JUST A FEW, these characters are so unique and great that it just frustrates me about this repetitiveness. I miss the feel of season one and it’s humor, I remember thinking “this is the funniest show I’ve seen in a while.” But now, I feel like I have to force myself through an episode.

3.)Samantha. I love my blonde New York queen but holy cow I just can’t stand her actions this season. THE CONCEPT of her putting the Ghosts over Jay ALL OF THE TIME is actually crazy. Like we all know Jay is a saint but it gets to a point. She honestly needs to put her foot down more or SOMETHING. Because it so annoying that even after the Christmas special WE ARE STILL MOVING LIKE THIS.

4.) Some characters are just not funny anymore, likr y’all I miss how funny Issac used to be. Now his lines to me are just annoying. WHICH SUCKS BECAUSE HE USED TO BE SO FUNNY. It’s like they put all of these characters jokes into a machine and spin out like the same five jokes.

5.) The wasting of plot-lines. The concept of having a great idea to bring in new cast and spice up the cast just to waste it. I hated that “the others” were just Flower’s old cult members. There was so much wasted potential there and it just makes me mad thinking about it.

THIS ONE DOES IT TOO!!

I found a bunch more!!

Everyone, all together now:

“Thanks, [REDACTED] !!!”

And thanks to this person:

Why is it that a woman not being friends with another woman, and evidently having a fall out, and calling another woman a bitch (or, rather, as I originally read it as adding bitch to the end of a sentence. Like Spike 'Out for a walk, bitch'. Maybe because that's a turn of phrase here in the UK, where we are like 'don't tell me what to do, bitch' but you're not actually calling that person a bitch, you're just expressing annoyance) is enough to get 500 random people in the name of Broadway to call for a disinvitation of that woman to all Broadway events, but no such call out was made for Kevin Spacey when he sexually assaulted young colleagues, no such call out was made for Woody Allen for that atrocious situation where he also made major efforts in a smear campaign against Mia Farrow, no such call out was made for Dustin Hoffman when he admitted he exposed himself to a minor, and not only was there no call out for Roman Polanski, but there was a petition to bring him back, and they gave him a fucking standing ovation.

It's pissing me off because it feels so performative. Surely if all 500 of you are so concerned about equality, and lack of toxic environments, to improve the industry and to call out wrongdoers, you would have done it years ago for the above names? That you would have issues with sexual abusers and paedophiles? Or are you reluctant to stand up against that because you want to be in one of Polanski's or Allen's films? Do you all feel safe signing this letter because you won't ever get work from Patti, she isn't hiring? So you don't lose any chance at work by signing it?

Someone commented online that they hate how vapid Broadway is; that people will be in outrage over someone 'being bitchy' and 'not being friends with others' but make zero effort about actual serious matters, such as the genocide in Gaza. And that is what is getting me so mad about this whole situation.

She was talking about the noise levels at Hell’s Kitchen - she found it too loud. That’s a valid critique, not a racial one. Patti has criticized tons of Broadway shows over the years - regardless of race. In the interview, the situation was brought up and she responded the way she always does - direct and unfiltered.

Patti has always supported the LGBT community and other minorities, and there’s never been any history of racist behavior from her.

Was it okay for her to call Kecia Lewis a “bitch” or question her Broadway experience? No, that was out of line. But I don’t think it had anything to do with race.
