Beautiful post MizJazmine....your points are on cue, especially:
"To me many times Christie puts up a front like she's "giving", but she's really not. To some degree Christie will demand to be supported. Even though they were away from the house, it was because of Christie that the non-alcohol policy was extended to a public place! I felt like if anybody had wanted to have a drink, they should have had one, and Christie could have been supported by the ones that did not drink. That's the way it is in the real world. The choice to drink in a public place should not have been taken from the other hg's IMO. I truly give Niambi and Antonia credit for NOT ordering a drink or a coupla drinks just to spite Christie, but rather "supported" her by not doing so. See Christie will have her support even if that means taking away choice from other people. IMO there is a selfishness to Christie. She is fine with support as long as it's for her."
...and SR...at first, I thought that Niambi and Antonia were wrong considering that Antonia was suppose "to have a staff" and she was negligent in employing them... "except", they all had assignments and Antonia (IMO) didn't want to demand that they help because of their other assignments, however, (IMO) I believe she would have appreciated any amount of help or a jester of help they would've offered (especially, because they were sitting on their a$$es waiting on her to finish so they could go to dinner...she was "compassionate" towards them and they didn't seem to care about her issue).
After the full impact of the issue came out today, I changed my mind. Christie has set herself up as an elder HG and mentor, but she only mentors when it supports her. It was very obvious what Christie was all about and that slam of "the angry black woman" was revealing. Niambi was an "angry woman" who happened to be "black"...Christie opened up this can of worms when she insisted that Niambi "air" her feelings because it was killing Christie that she couldn't control Niambi with her "compassion"...Niambi wasn't buying it.
I commented on another thread that Christie has jealousy issues and is dramatically lazy. I noticed and commented about this "non-support issue of Christie's" when they had the home repairs exercise....she didn't take the initiative and got mad at Jodie and blamed her...when she was the one who lingered back because she's soooo insecure....and although Jodie likes to control...this was not her problem ....it was clearly Christie's.
