His sister was speaking on Marcus’s hard life and Jenn had the nerve to say 'I have trauma too' or something along those lines. "I was absolutely appalled that she seemed to compare his deployment experiences and parental abandonment to her parent’s divorce. I’m not dissing her trauma or feelings, I just don’t think it was an appropriate time to bring her own stuff up.
Thoughts or opinions???" One fan agreed: "I thought it was absolutely tone deaf. She said it to him too when he opened up to her. All the girls I was watching with agreed it was crazy to compare.
My jaw literally dropped when she said that." Another added: "Yeah I thought it was wrong for her to say at that time. All trauma IS valid but there is a time and place to bring your own trauma up.
"What Marcus and his sister went through was very hard. Even though I’ve read everything that has been said about Marcus, I cried a lot during his home town’s. No child should go through what they went through.
" A third fan pointed out that this wasn't the first time in the episode where Jenn said some out-of-pocket things to her suitors' families. While speaking to Devin's mom, Jenn said that they had bonded over coming from divorced families and they were similar in how they viewed their childhoods. The fan wrote: "How about telling one of their mom’s (can’t remember whose) how they both have similar childhoods because of the traumatic experience of dealing with their parent’s divorce???? She was saying it to HIS MOM.
WTF." Another agreed: "Me and the friend I watched it with also noticed that! Like why put that poor woman on the spot on national television. Also talking about the strip show as one of the first conversations with the family seemed weird to me too.
" Yet another penned: "I thought that was really weird. Idk I get divorce is hard, but it didn’t really seem like the time to bring it up? Like pick your moments..
. Idk sometimes she just rubs me the wrong way.".
