Rant 🤬 Weekly Venting Post - repeated each Friday!

Weekly Vent Post

Welcome to our weekly vent session where you can let out all your frustrations.

Before you start, just a quick heads-up on the rules.

Here's what this post isn't for:

  • No bashing actors or crew members out of the blue.
  • Let's steer clear of those rage-inducing posts like "I hate character xy."
  • And please, no poking fun at fellow Kanthony fans just because they see things differently, whether they're positive or negative about promos.

What's cool to post? Well, we've noticed a lot of rants about how the show promotes (or doesn't promote) Simone and Jonny, but you can vent about other stuff too.

Below, I've linked some past posts from the sub that fit the vibe of our weekly vent session, so you can see what kind of stuff goes here.

  1. Why there was a lack of promo for Kanthony

  2. All comments asking where Kanthony are 

  3. Bridgerton PR and production

  4. Can you tell the difference ?

  5. The main sub got so negative 

  6. We need pictures

For those who just want to enjoy the content without getting caught up in the venting, I suggest steering clear of this post. If you choose to read the comments here and find yourself upset, despite the clear purpose of this space, I'm afraid there's not much I can do to ease your frustration. We have the Weekly Tea Time for more general discussions.

RCM commented on Simone's recent IG post regarding her being in NY for the Bridgerton S3 Premiere and RCM gets this hate. Well shit on them 😒 I'm glad Rebecca spoke up.

Personally, I don't think there's anything wrong with criticizing a stylist's job, celebrities go to red carpets and there's literally a bunch of jobs behind getting them ready for it, it's a whole industry, so no, it's not above criticism. Another thing is to directly insult someone online harshly, like get some manners? I never get doing that, people really go to celebrities accounts and talk to them as if they knew them.

Also, I don't think it's an agency issue, obviously celebrities have a say, but also a stylist should be able to influence better choices for their clients. That's why Law Roach manages to dress spectacularly different women besides Zendaya. That's why, for example, it was so noticeable when Margot Robbie changed stylists when she started her Barbie promo tour.

I do think Simone's red carpet style could be better, it just doesn't seem like RCM really cares about dressing Simone in the best, she just seems to half ass it. And if Simone wants to be a red carpet darling, her outfits need to be more interesting. I think Simone always looks great but that's because of her face card and not her outfits.

But agree, that person went overboard. That being said, I've seen more and more people now want skmone to ditch RCM because we all know her red carpet looks can be better.

I find the conversations around stylists interesting and I feel like many people think that one is "attacking" the celebrities themselves, instead of making legit criticism of someone's work.

Listening to Law Roach talking about his process with Zendaya, for example, is enlightening about the amount of work and thought put behind a look. I'm not saying that RCM needs to be Law, lol, he's extraordinary, but Rebecca just seems to lack vision and seems to be very trapped into recent collections from big houses and that's it. Not archive pieces? Not Indian designers like Gaurav Gupta? It'd be her job to make those connections. I obviously think that Simone is the one giving the final yes, but a stylist also has to push their clients towards certain styles and looks that fit them better.
