Betty, Connie and Charlie
Why did Betty lie to Connie about her cousin Charlie still seeing Deb? Why would she hurt her friend like that?

What I get from Betty's character is that the reason she so often lashed out against her friends (most noteably Connie and Giselle), Catherine and other people, was because she herself was actually deeply hurting inside, and as the old adage says: hurt people hurt people. In the scene where Betty attacks Giselle, you can tell Giselle knows that Betty's mean words and behavior stem from unhappiness - that she's hurt and her instinct is to make others hurt with her, she doesn't know what else to do. I think Giselle realizes that more deeply than the other girls because she and Betty actually have the same problems: both have unloving parents and they both loved and wanted men who didn't love or want them back. Only Betty was less emotionally equipped to handle her suffering without wanting to make others suffer with her (like how she didn't want Deb to find love when she herself didn't). share
