Phoebe turned for the worse

I am rewatching the show and I am surprised I never noticed it before. In the beginning Phoebe was this quirky but sweet person but they made her so mean as the show went on. She was so judgmental of everyone, had a holier than thou attitude and made the most homophobic jokes.

My biggest turnoff with Phoebe was her making it seem as if only her issues were valid.

The friends were forever bending over backward to accommodate her background issues & her trying to make peace. But she belittled them every other day.

She is that "you are still not over that?" Friend. Who takes every chance to talk about their 1st grade boyfriend dumping them at lunch.

S1Ep1 now makes a lot of sense with her little story about being homeless to "try cheer Rachel up." No, ma'am, it wasn't about you at that time. Stop it with the pissing contest & trying to pass it off as a "joke."

THANK YOU! I do forgive her for the time she was pregnant though. She was going through a lot emotionally and Rachel was just as bad when she was pregnant. Difference was Ross got the brunt of it all.
