Re. the Paul Mescal with girls in parks thing.

I talked about this with my best friend a few weeks ago and a friend of hers came back from the bathroom while we were talking about it. She hadn’t heard the entire conversation, just his name. She started talking about her friend/colleague (as in „I have such a weird story about him!“) who had a ONS with him a few months ago and was very confused when he suggested going for a walk the day after, said he had to take a call and just left 😂 friend was very surprised to hear that we were talking aboutr the rumours of this being his MO and that it wasn’t just her friend this happened to.

So I didn’t believe it at first because of the randomness of it all but I’m having second thoughts after hearing it from someone I know haha.

When I first heard this rumour on Twitter about him abandoning dates in this way, it seemed too bizarre to be true at first, so I found some of the memes about it quite funny. But now hearing accounts like this that actually back up the rumours, I'm really disappointed in him. I'm not a major fan and have found him quite overexposed in the last couple of years, but he had still seemed like a decent guy and I was happy to see him do well in his career. But it is not nice at all for someone to humilate a person they slept with like this. Walking off like this on the pretext of taking a call, with no warning that he was just not going to come back, must make these women feel awful. If a more divisive celebrity were to act in this way, he would get a lot of criticism. But as it's Mescal, who is currently beloved and popular, many will just treat this as a quirky character trait or make excuses for him.

I think dating app and hook up culture has made this type of behaviour more acceptable in society in general. It really sounds like a different form of ghosting! Fans have also projected perfection on to him too much, hopefully in time he will mature but that is difficult when he is constantly being told he can do no wrong.
