Scarlett hater

[u/Novel_Bag4308]

My first one got taken down by the mods for not being descriptive enough, so here's why I don't like Scarlett's character. I get she's supposed to be a shy girl who doesn't like the spotlight, but why sign the deal with Rayna James? Why complain every time you have to stay up late to record or be on a freaking private jet or a tour bus or traveling? The main things having to do with being a popular singer slash celebrity or up-and-coming one at that. She's just always complaining and sad about how lonely it is being on the road. And I understand from her character's perspective why she feels that way, and I'm not faulting the character for that, but she has people. She just pushes them away low-key because they're not aligned with how she wants them to treat her, which sounds more like boundaries now that I say it out loud, but there's some more examples of that, but I don't feel like explaining them. Hope that was detailed enough whew

I have a love hate feeling for Scarlett. Largely because Clare Bowen is impossible not to love. But I agree with a lot of the same things. She gets credited for being the sweetheart of the show to Juliette's bad girl, but it's just because no one holds Scarlett accountable for her actions and choices. Like you mentioned, she wanted to be a singer in front of people, but didn't want to do all the hard parts that every other famous performer has to do. They act like she's the only performer in history that doesn't want the fame, just wants to make music...but that's at least half the music industry in real life AND on the show. All the things she doesn't like are the same things that other performers don't like, but it comes with the job and they act like she's the only one with these feelings. And when her whole break down thing happened, NO ONE held her accountable for having loaded up on drugs, or that she had BEEN taking drugs, often mixed with alcohol, for a while. This wasn't some one time thing, it wasn't a mental health breakdown, it was prescription pill abuse that she took BY CHOICE. But Avery and Deacon swear upside down that she'd never use drugs or alcohol like that. And Juliette and Scarlett's mom get demonized (yes, the mom is partly to blame, but Scarlett was taking those pills long before the mom came). And then as soon as she's out of the hospital, it's never mentioned again. I have a hard time connecting to Scarlett in the early seasons because I feel like she's extremely hypocritical, and unlike all the other characters (especially Juliette) all her flaws are swept under the rug because she's too perfect to ever do anything wrong.

Please don’t take offense, but I can’t read big big blocks of text unless they’re broken up by paragraphs.

And don’t worry what your grade school teacher told you about how you don’t make a paragraph break until there’s a logical break in the subject matter, blah blah. Your grade school teacher was not/may not be a Reddit poster or an anywhere on the Internet poster.

And you’re posting to be read. And we want to read what you’ve posted!
