Hear, hear! Remember a few seasons back, when she whined about how distancing during Covid kept her from having a birthday party, so the gang had a drive-by parade for her? A grown woman (well, biologically at least) needing people clapping and cheering for her on her birthday - good grief!

Pathetic.

Do you think it ever occurred to her for even a second to arrange a drive-by for Todd? You know she remembers his birthday since they usually celebrate it together. 

She only does "nice" things for other people when they serve her first. Like supposedly being Ashley's "birthing coach," or that stupid "blessing" dance they did when she was pregnant. She only cared about Heather's feelings about Buddy in the context that Buddy kissed her for a millisecond by accident in DC and when Buddy was struggling and wanted to visit Greensboro during his recovery, made him stay with her instead of his own parents, and had a conniption when Heather popped by unexpectedly, shoving him into a bedroom or whatever. To "spare her feelings," but really just to provide drama and make her the center of attention once again.

When she went to LA for the "Dancing Man" party, she took Tal. TAL! Who is a lovely person, but NOT a dancer. Her justification was that she took Todd with her to some other place (some small city in the south) for some other event. But Todd, who made her famous, doesn't get to go to LA with her to dance. She usurps his trip to NY to meet the Fitness Marshal, has a hissy fit when he teaches her dance class LIKE SHE TOLD HIM TO BECAUSE SHE WAS "ON TOUR" WITH THE GUY HE TOOK HER TO MEET! 

She has literally never done anything nice for Todd that we've seen, and he's shown up for her every time she asked. All those stupid parades and festivals that she was asked to film (fake, for the show), the ridiculous ballroom "competition," the RV where she refused to even bathe for several days, the "8K" (which he at least enjoyed, and was gracious to her father for inviting him on the trip which I'm sure TLC actually paid for). The one time he "let her down" was the dance battle when he was so injured he could barely dance, and he STILL danced for the battle, just couldn't do the solo. 

I don't know if something's up with Todd. There's wild speculation all over the place, he's on drugs, he's very mentally ill, I donno. I hope none of these are true and he's just had it with Princess's over the top "all about me" act. I wouldn't blame him one bit. 

While I really really really hope Todd is okay, it also wouldn't surprise me if he was having trouble with a substance. Look at everyone in Whitney's orbit: Tal, Buddy, and Lennie are all in active recovery. Whitney herself is addicted to food and probably tobacco. There are plenty of people on MBFFL's payroll that are not ostensibly abusing any substances, but that's still a large proportion of her so-called friends who have had trouble with drugs or alcohol. My spouse and I have a huge friend group, say 10 very close friends and 100 farther-flung friends, and of them (and including our families), fewer than 5 have substance abuse problems. With Whitney, it's closer to half. And that's just what we see.
