[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Brandon worshiped at the altar of Jen himself. I don’t think he was threatened by her bright shining success, but needed to know he was still special to her even if 500,000+ followers liked her posts everyday. 
He didn’t need the fame or adulation of the masses, he craved Jen’s undivided love and attention. The one thing he could almost never get. That’s why he made the comment how Tina makes him feel like he’s the only guy in the room even when there is a crowd. He felt invisible when Jen was in show mode.
He became bitter and resentful as he realized he’d helped create a monster. The more her fan base grew the less she needed or valued him. Her love tank was getting filled by her fans while his was steadily depleted.[/quote]

As someone that had to interact with Brandon during the height of their notoriety in the tv days he ABSOLUTELY craved the adulation and fame. Probably the attention at home too but my god did he have to have his ego stroked a lot.

Thanks for the insight. From a distance he seemed to live in her shadow so it’s good to know he’s a fame whore as well. It takes a fair bit of ego to blow up your family with cheating and addictions then go on IG and brag about how much better your life is now with your new lover.

I agree- he wants his ego stroked. He is desperate to be a “man’s man”.  He wants to be tough- hence all the tats, and the pearl snap shirts with a couple of buttons left unbuttoned to show his upper chest tat. And the big truck that he low key puts into every photo. He had an identity crisis. He used to wear dad jeans, Chuck Taylor’s, and a regular long sleeve button down with the sleeves halfway rolled up.  Not it’s the hat down to his ears, bunch of boots that have never seen real work and jeans that only poser cowboys wear. If he was really hard…. He would have to try to hard.

I think Jen emasculated him to a degree. When she got her fame— bitterness came out because his book didn’t do as well. He wasn’t as photogenic, his personality didn’t translate to TV and Videos the way hers does. He slipped into a void where he felt he had no real purpose. So, he worked hard to get one— through the little “Apple Dumpling Motor Bike Gang.” [/quote]
