[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]In the chapter on codependence, she writes that Brandon was always “hard, not bad but hard” and that he was regularly offending people and hurting their feelings. Those of you who knew them in person, did you see that?[/quote]

Yes. He was incredibly emotionally immature. He was also the kind of guy who is scanning the room to see who the most important person is to talk to, and if he doesn't think he can get something from you he isn't interested. He preached love and compassion but was standoffish and really only had time for the handful of church friends with some level of power, people with an instagram following, or his motorcycle buddies. Jen had to be overly friendly to make up for it. He was also really materialistic and braggy and generally gave people the impression he thought his shit didn't stink, and Jen worked hard to sort of laugh it off as quirky instead of admitting she was married to a narcissist.He also drank too much on the regular, and he's sarcastic and rude when drunk.

They both were very much the opposite of what they presented to the world back when they were semi famous.  Jen was fake and insular and utterly uninterested in anything that didn't help her brand and career.  Of course, she was the first to pose for the socials at church events that looked good.  And Brandon was sort of a sad shell of a person who moped around and was never comfortable in his own skin.  I was there when through the whole tattoo and biker thing happened and we all thought it was totally ridiculous and a sign that he was going through a huge mid iife crises.  They surrounded themselves with fawning enabler types are all the normal people soon realized what was up and all eventually left.[/quote]
