kristen sleeping with jax/kristen and beau

i’m at the end of season 8 and i was going to make this post earlier on, but more and more examples kept coming up of kristen absolutely overstepping her boundaries with beau.

i am so glad that stassi has been open about the trauma and lasting effects kristen sleeping with jax had on her because it’s something i’ve thought about since it’s happened. i feel like her trust issues when it comes to her romantic relationships are so talked about, but when it comes to friendships, it’s completely glossed over. and i think it’s incredibly selfish for kristen not to realize that.

her referring to beau as her friend in such a condescending way was so off putting. i think it was especially weird how stassi was slightly vilified for getting upset about it. i LOVE beau and i love them together but he has full visual and audible access to some of the most traumatic experiences of stassi’s young adult life and has obviously probably heard the most vulnerable parts of it from stassi herself, so i’m confused as to why he’d question any sort of insecurity she’d feel. he’s always pulling the “i haven’t given you a reason not to trust me card”, yet tries to maintain a friendship with the girl who HAS given stassi reasons not to trust! i was in tears when stassi said the quiet part out loud and i honestly think she had full reign to hate kristen for the rest of her life, but she didn’t and kristen should be grateful.

i also saw a theory awhile ago about jax and kristen still hooking up like to this day and at the time i thought “no way”, but as i’m watching i can totally see how that conclusion could be drawn. i’ve noticed every time kristen is in a room with any male cast members, she’s slept with at least half of them, and she’s the ONLY one who has. it’s clear she lacks boundaries and some degree of self respect and not just with men, but i think she oversteps within other relationships (friends, lisa, strangers, etc.). it’s clear kristen is a self-destructive, mentally ill, bordering narcissist who only cares about herself, but when will her friends stop being the expense of all of her terrible decisions?
