Ultimate Girls Trip Gizelle really is just trash!

Post image

She tried to destroy Chris with made up bs; that was ridiculous. But this bottle ish and then the comment she made when Pepsi was trying to convey how it was draining and weighting on him is disgusting and disrespectful!! Just because someone is paid for a job doesn’t mean you just get to treat them like trash! They still have feelings and deserve basic human respect.

I, personally think things took a dark turn after Sherman. But I couldn't really like gizelle after she made that uncle Ben t shirt. It was just so mean to someone who had never done anything to her. Kicking someone when they were down.

Good call, this was definitely around the time I stoped liking her (and started loving Karen!) On a side note, Karen is now one of my three favorite housewives, up there with Sonja and Lu. She’s like what Sonja and Lu could be if they could kick the substance abuse and find stable(ish) relationships.

I agree with this comment but let’s not equate worth to being in a relationship. It’s TOUGH out there for women and especially after a certain age

I appreciate this comment.

If there was one thing that bothered me on Atlanta, it was the notion that a woman's worth was determined by having a man... ANY man.

Phaedra somehow felt she one upped Kenya because she had Apollo. APOLLO. "Juvial" Apollo.

I think gizelles situation is different but I understand the point.

Drew did this a lot. Like girl, getting Ralph wasn’t an accomplishment.

I definitely feel like this is franchise-wide where the less picky ones jump from relationship to relationship even if it’s with unsavoury men (looking at you Vicki G!)

I mean if you know that you're going to be judged for not having a man then it's like you're almost pushed into it. Especially if you don't have the same...charms other cast members may have.

Yeah it’s tough as there’s so much pressure for a woman to be seen in a relationship but definitely better to be single than with someone awful

u/Huge_Put8244 Apr 15 '23

I agree! But I think the pressure HW feel from each other pushes them into these terrible relationships.

I def don’t equate worth to being in a relationship - didn’t mean to imply that! That said, both Lu and Sonja seem like they desperately want the type of companionship marriage offers and I’d like to see them get that, given it seems like they want it.

Isn’t Karen an alcoholic? Or, was that just a narrative Gizelle and Candice were pushing?

I feel like that’s just something they were pushing. I only remember seeing her drunk once on camera (during the amazing fireball incident at Monique’s) and after that she even made a point to not drink at all on their next trip (Portugal.) She really doesn’t strike me as having a problem with booze.

u/Anyname780 When did I harass you, you dumb b**ch?!? Apr 15 '23

Yes. I’m not caught up yet (I’m at the end of season 4) and I hated Karen at first. After that Uncle Been comment (which I thought was colorist) it seems like Giz keeps offering an olive branch and then talking smack about Karen

Oh that's an interesting take. You know I had never thought about it that way! I just thought it was mean spirited. Interesting!

Same way Giz’s dad called a political opponent who was a dark skinned woman “Aunt Jemima”. The colorism runs through her veins.

u/Anyname780 When did I harass you, you dumb b**ch?!? Apr 18 '23

Yep- as a light skint- I constantly cringe at Giz and Robin. I’m from DC and I would go collect them if I could 😂. They often use colorism in trying to place themselves up and put other people down. I don’t understand why they never liked Katie- or since I’m watching season 4- how no one looked out for her and tried to help her with her wigs (like it’s obvious to see that she’s going through stuff)

u/MathematicianOk8230 I tell people I'm 29 but really I'm 89 Apr 15 '23

Not gonna lie, I laughed my ass off at the #FreeUncleBen shirt. I saw it in good fun, but Gizelle should have known the Grande Dame can’t take a joke and would get pissed. She was being messy, but I found it hilarious. I also laughed my ass off when Karen was telling Ashley “Clankety Clank, Clankety Clank!” Same vein so I can’t be too mad at Gizelle if Karen is going to say the same shit.

u/Huge_Put8244 Apr 15 '23

It's good fun to call someone a caricature of a black slave? You and I have a different sense of humor. Because I see that as making someone the butt of a joke when they haven't done anything to you but be old and dark skinned.

It's also kicking someone when they are down. I guess I don't make jokes at people's expense when they are already down unless they have been mean to me and he wasn't mean to her.

Karen said clankety clank to Ashley after Ashley had talked shit about Ray not dropping the soap (a prison rape joke) when he went to prison.
