Painting the narrative to both subtly and overtly shame her sexuality in a way that simultaneously erases bisexuality,

“Lesbian past”

“Bisexual tendencies”

and exploits it as a negative character flaw in order to justify JD’s actions.

The amount of misogynistic biphobia here is disgusting.

“Put their marriage on the rocks”
Yeah because she also likes women is why that marriage didn’t work out.
Nothing to do with the fact that he BEAT HER.
