Mariah gay
So what does everyone think about Mariah being a lesbian?
shareI don't care one way or the other, but apparently, Meri does.
shareNot my life so if she's happy good for her. I think Meri will have a pitty party about this now because she and Mariah aren't close anymore and Mariah didn't confide this to her before she talked to all the parents. Now that the chapter on catfish seems to be closed there has to be something new for Meri to stay in the story line.
shareLol so true hahaha. I have a feeling that's why Mariah was so upset about the whole catfish thing. Perhaps that's when she was struggling with it the most and tried to go to Meri for help but she was too wrapped up with 'Sam'. So she finally gave up and shut her out altogether.
shareI was thinking something similar to this. I thing it might explain why she was so hurt about the whole catfish situation with Meri.
So Mariah is coming to terms with accepting that she's gay and gathering up the courage to come out to her family. Meanwhile, Meri falls in love with another man, but finds out it's actually a woman, and is immediately put off by it and upset and almost repulsed that she was actually falling in love with a woman instead. That must have been kind of jarring for Mariah amidst her own situation. It probably made her nervous thinking about how her mother would react and that might have manifested itself into resentment.
There may be something to Mariah and Meri having 'issues' at the same time, but Mariah being angry with her mother about the "Sam" situation would a normal response no matter what. However, it is comforting to find out her school is so liberal and accepting in terms of the embarrassment Marish must have felt when Jackie Overton was plastering her mother's photos, voicemails and lies all over the internet.
shareI agree. This will hurt Meri because Mariah was keeping a secret from her, and then shared it with the world and her at the same time.
Side note, I was surprised how often Meri said she was suspicious of "Sam" this episode. According to Mariah, Mariah warned Meri several times that Sam was a catfishes, or at least a phony. So was Meri just saving face by saying she suspected? Her whole story still sounded defensive, and not fully honest.
Also, Mariah was right when she told Kody that Meri would have left Kody for Sam, had he been real. Meri admitted that she had considered that in tonight's episode. I think Mariah's feelings toward her mom are justified.
