Honestly, the grace she has shown since she was a teenager upto today has been ASTOUNDING to me.

It really is

**Cristofle** · 02-23-2024, 05:29 PM

Even what she said...honestly, it could have been much worse. She gives a decent amount of grace to Josh and Stephanie for how they fired her.

More than they deserve really

How she talked about Ben too, she could have (rightfully) been much harsher.

She has so much emotional maturity and grace. Heck, it sounds like she was the only mature one at 17 even when working on the show with all of these adults.

Yeah, she could have been REAL harsh on Ben. I get the impression at least a little part of her blames herself. She kept saying she wasn't mature, she didn't know what she wanted...that's the job description of a 17-year-old, and Ben should have ****ing known better.

Which is honestly pretty sad when you think about that way

And when I watch this clip...

I think she's looking back on it with so much alienation, and so many years have passed, but she does say "We threw ourselves all into it very fast." At some point, both of them at least gave the impression of taking this relationship seriously. She says that co-stars hook up on shows, it happens, BUT, they threw themselves all in.

(Of course, here's the infamous interview with Ben from Elle in 2004 where he indicated never having been in love but said he'd TELL girls he was in love with them in order to sleep with them, which isn't...awesome. But on the other hand, he took SOMETHING personally to get so angry at her and hold it against her when she dated other guys)

Never heard about that Ben interview, but yikes.

A Reddit poster had some of the other quotes:

Quote:

ELLE*: Comprehensive list. Anything you might actually respond to favorably?*
BEN*: A political point of view is really sexy, especially in L.A. Women here are exotic and beautiful, but it’s like you’re in a zoo. You look around thinking, Wow, look at all those pretty animals, and then when one opens its mouth and speaks, you’re like, Holy [Censored], the monkey’s talking to me*!

ELLE*: Would it bother you to find out that a woman you were dating had had significantly more sexual partners than you had?*
BEN*: I think it has to affect you*.

ELLE*: So what’s an acceptable number?*
BEN*: In the teens is understandable. But get into the twenties and that’s not good at all. Over 50 would be like, Who are you*?

Bananas, lol.

**stlavin95** · 02-27-2024, 02:22 AM

What the ****, lol

**Cristofle** · 02-27-2024, 03:44 PM

I need to find the whole thing. It's a wild ride.

**stlavin95** · 02-28-2024, 02:43 AM

Sure sounds like it

**Cristofle** · 02-28-2024, 02:09 PM

I remember thinking even at the time "Boy, any girl you've told you love her CAN READ THIS."

But didn't Nikki Reed say something weird about him passing her reading and making a crack about "Oh, you can read?" I don't know why she liked him, lol.
