I know all of Val's "hood" talk has upset you, why do you think it doesn't bother Zendaya? They seem to still be close friends.
Well nony, since I donāt know her, I canāt say what she feels or doesnāt, but my *guess* would just be because they are close, most likely. Meaning, itās easier to balance the flaws of the people you care for, because you know all their good qualities too.
@emf1947 wisely pointed this out in another post of mine when we were all talking about this mess:
When you actually know someone, you can weigh their faults against their virtues, and can be more forgiving of those faults. But since we donāt actually know any of these people, itās much harder to do that because itās difficult to determine which virtues are actually sincere, and which might just be for show - and with entertainment people, which might even be for PRās sake.Ā
I can only go off of what is shown publicly by any of these people, and the picture thatās been painted with only that brush, isnāt all that flattering for him, imo. Or I should say, *to me* the faults outweigh the virtues because I now question how sincere any of his publicly shared virtues might be. His post about the Down Syndrome little girl, and then him using another little downs girl on stage for image rehab, tipped things for me so that I now donāt trust his sincerity in the slightest. Thatās on top of the appropriation issue.
