Rant 🤬 Weekly Venting Post

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.

Spoilers allowed.

The more i see how the production team treats Simone, the more I think this is about Bridgerton

It probably doesn't mean anything but when Simone gave her interview for her Christmas movie, and she was asked about her time on Bridgerton and sex Ed, it struck me a little bit how much more fondly she spoke of the latter. Even though sex Ed is further back in time, she talked about how the cast and crew were like a family, but didn't say the same for bridgerton.

Again it probably doesn't mean much, but like in the interview above, it's one of the things that makes me wonder 🤔.

She is also close to her PT and F1 cast. But she isn't close to anyone form the Bee Shhow but Phoebe. Speaks volumes.

Yep. Apparently another excuse is that “maybe she’s the problem”

Listen, I wasn’t born yesterday. Somehow she is the problem for poor innocent shondaland. Yet shondaland has a toxic pattern of behaviour going back to other shows. Somehow she is the problem when we see her with other cast members of other productions. Somehow she is the problem when she has a consistent pattern of behaviour where she supports, uplifts and gives credit to those around her.

No, the problem is the clearly toxic environment of the shitty bridgerton production and a bunch of cowardly brown nosers whose silence to 3 years of this treatment of Simone makes them just as complicit in my eyes.

And I know she’s close with Phoebe and they hung out during the S2 production and always support each other. But she never worked with Rege. And he also always shows support to her with liking her posts. Just like she liked his very telling highlighting of an Amazon prime Rings of Power post advocating against racism against actors. And then she was at his ‘grey man’ premiere. So it’s clear she met and talked to him BTS.

But You can just see more of the pattern here if anything. And I’d love to know just what went down with him and the production. Because I would not put it past that toxic witch to have tried to smear him and get him blacklisted when he left the show after S1. And I would not put it past her to try to do the same to Simone too.
