Looking back, Lauren was kind of a bitch.


I'm rewatching the series and I just finished the third season. Lauren goes into Audrina's house, wants to know what she's been doing to push Audrina away, and then blows up when Audrina tells her the truth. It looked like Lauren went into the guest house to start a confrontation. The whole thing kinda rubbed me the wrong way. Plus, she was clearly mad when Whitney was asked to go to Paris with Kimball and she herself hadn't been asked yet. I mean, she turned it down the first time, so who would blame Lisa for not asking her again? Whitney deserved to go. Lauren also knew that Justin didn't like to be called Justin Bobby, yet always said it around him and called him that.

Thoughts?

I kind of agree with you. I used to really like her, but upon re-watching, I'm not sure. I think she's a nice person but not as "nice" as everyone thinks. She would also overreact to things a lot, and seemed very all-or-nothing with friends or guys she was involved with. There are some things that she was obviously justified in being upset over, but other stuff, I dunno.

I will never understand why she was so angry at Jen and not at ALL angry at Brody, or how upset she got when Stephanie and Doug went out. (Hello, she DUMPED Doug. Why should he not go out with someone else?) Or how she made Stephanie's birthday fiasco all about her (when Spencer and Heidi showed up) when really, it's Stephanie's party, so you should not be that shocked if her brother shows up.

She also seemed to be influenced by Lo a lot. When she was with Lo, she would get snarky and kind of bitchy.

I was on her side with the whole Justin thing though. She was right to not B.S. with Audrina. How many times can you put up with your friend's constant whining and crying over a guy who's a complete jerk, when the friend has the option (about a million times) to WALK AWAY?

reply

Yeah, she was way wrong to get mad only at Jen and not even an ounce at Brody. She was also wrong when she didn't expect Spencer to be at his own sister's birthday party. She's not going to un-invite her own brother because a semi-friend doesn't like him.

I totally agree about the Justin thing, I just thought that maybe she shouldn't be rude and call him a name he clearly doesn't like. He was a jerk to Audrina, Lauren, and Lo, though, and a crappy boyfriend.

During Laguna Beach, Lo seemed nice but in the Hills, wow. She did like a 180. I wonder why she didn't like Audrina? I guess she felt threatened.

And about Whitney not knowing how to pronounce Givenchy: I was really surprised at her. Maybe she just went to Paris for like, two or three days the first time and was mainly indoors working? Only scenario I can think of. If she didn't go to Paris because Lauren didn't go, I would be shocked.

Oh, when I said maybe she didn't go at all, I just meant that maybe it was staged for the sake of the show (like a lot of things were). Or maybe like you said, she was just there for a short amount of time.

Also, I wonder if Whitney actually went to Paris the first time. When she and Lauren went together, she acted like she was there for the first time. You'd think that someone who spent an entire summer interning in Paris would be a little more savvy about the city. (And not pronounce "Givenchy" wrong!)

reply

I wouldn't call Lauren a bitch I would just say she could be a bit over protective and sometimes when it came to people her friends were with. It's weird because Jason wasn't the best guy.

Now Lo on the other hand was a complete bitch. The snide comments she made about everyone. As soon as her and Lauren made up it was like she was clinging on to her for dear life! She was completely rude to Justin then acted shocked when he was rude back! I also hated the way she called everyone "sweeetieee" she sounded so childish. I think she thought she could get away with the bitchy comments because she said them in a child's voice. I still haven't forgotten when she asked Lauren "who's moving in with you when Heidi moves out" it was like she begging Lauren to ask her.

reply

Lo was a complete bitch! What's odd to me is that during Laguna Beach, she didn't seem as bad. In the Hills, she's in a bad mood whenever another of Lauren's friends is around. Lo was bitchy and overprotective when it concerned Lauren to the point where it was sort of weird.

reply

Lauren seems to make everything about her. Lol, I know I commented on this post a long time ago, but I just had to say that again.

reply

Lo gets scared whenever Lauren has new bff. Lo pretended to like Heidi but was so happy when Lauren and Heidi weren't friends anymore. She didn't like audrina because she lived with Lauren. But for some reason loved Stephanie.

I agree with you. I was never a fan of Lauren. I think that she was way too possessive of her friends and it seemed like she literally hated all her friend's boyfriends too. The one thing that made me see Lauren's true colors was when she immediately left Stephanie's birthday party when Spencer and Heidi showed up. Lauren made the situation all about herself. Most adults would have talked to the person who spread rumors about them in person instead of being pouty and bitchy about it. I know she talked to Heidi about it but, Heidi was not the one who started the rumor; it was Spencer. Aside from that, anyone also who disagreed with Lauren was also on her sh*t list. She hated when her friends thought for themselves. I also know she never liked Kristin from Laguna Beach but i always thought Kristin was the nicer of the two. That's just my take anyways....

I know what you mean. If I were Heidi and Lauren said to me- I want to forgive you and I want to forgot you, I would have said- peace out bitch and I would have never talked to her again....
