Remember that bar job u had in your early 20's, where everyone was sleeping w/ each other, you worked a shift together, got cut then stayed there and partied w/ur coworkers, then u all did late night at someone's apartment only to do it all over again the next night? #PumpRules
On sundays when you had off, u & your coworkers played together, laid out or went kayaking. You got to know each others family and other friends. Some of u moved in together and everyone got more intertwined. U started 2 couple up and form an awesome click at work. #PumpRules
A couple years go by, ur in your mid-late 20's. A reality tv crew starts to document you job and relationships for a tv show just as relationships are shifting and some ending. You sign contracts keeping you working at that restaurant with those people #pumprules
More years go by & the show has made u famous. those early 20's friends u made are not so tolerable in ur 30's. Their antics are annoying. The tv contract says u have to film with old boyfriends, work shifts servings show fans when you dont even work there any more. #PumpRules
Ur an adult, a home owner, married/engaged, a millionaire. You have written books, own clothing lines, successful podcasts, selling out theaters yet because of the show, fans still expect you to be BFFS w/ someone you have completely outgrown #pumprules
EVERY SINGLE ADULT PERSON ON EARTH has someone they used to be super tight with that they just outgrew and they fade away from your life. But because of contractual obligations, these tv people are forced to interact. And sometimes it gets messy or sad when they do. #PumpRules
This is why I cant criticize @MusicKillsKate or @stassi for the way they treat Kristen. They simply outgrew her and that's ok. We have all done it. The interactions between them get uncomfortable or cringy because they are forced to interact for #PumpRules. T
Fans love "crazy Kristen" the tv character but thats super annoying in your everyday life. Stassi & Katie have every right to choose their friends. I would be anti-them if they were terrorizing Kristen purposely, but they simple dont think of her when shes not there. #PumpRules
It's sad that their friendship didnt last, but it's not unique. What is unique is their filmed forced interactions.
So, I'm not gonna pile on and judge.
Rant over ✌
