^which that is the point of all this . Disregard her comment . I don't find awful or disgusting whatsoever . That is her right to do . She is fed up of all this weight attacking comments and she is hurting . Go for it and say something . It's her right . I don't find Ben posted that pic with his motives to get people to comment on her weight. Rather he wants to tell people his woman is not unhealthy, sick or whatsoever but to tell the world she looks great prior to what these people saying to her . I don't know if Lauren's comment on him about not happy the pic he posted that he is letting people to comment on her weight ect ect. is a sarcastic or a joke .Who knows ? She might be really had enough of all these negativities and said that to him. I do think Lauren is no difference from what she is experiencing on sm. A lot of formers have gone through that path. Trolls are everywhere. You gotta have a thick skin , ignore it. I think it is not okay for these idiots to just go and leave that kind of comments but again trolls are trolls. So far she is responding okay and not all swearing that coming out she is bullying . She is making it classy . So that's good to know .jmo.

SeekAny wrote:I think we have to agree that for the most part Lauren doesn't respond to the negative. She's gone months without. And then in the last few days she's made two comments. It's interesting how the Jojo comments are something she doesn't seem to be bothered by, she finally responded the other day very gracefully and said jojo's a babe, we have a greater purpose than constantly comparing each other and that was that. I'd venture the Jojo thing doesn't bother her because she's very secure in Ben's love and it's less a personal attack and more about the show.

Then there's the weight attacks. And for most women, even men, that takes it to a very personal level. Again, she's been silent but recently, she's been working out, is very trim and some of Ben's pictures accentuate that fact. Cue everyone's comments as of late. Clearly Ben doesn't think about this when he posts because he's in love and trying to show that and his girl off. I personally think her comments were meant to be sarcastic and funny. The all caps and tagging Amanda made it seem like she was mimicking the comments. I drank a lot of wine with Amanda on the show and now I am not. Stop hating, bye type vibe. And then asking Ben to find a better pic like after the gym when she's all "swoll"... I think she's just trolling the trolls.

I don't think the answer is making accounts private because well the type of people that go on this show don't want private accounts. And as a fan, I don't want them to have private accounts. It's like watching a movie but in this case it doesn't end, we get to keep watching it all play out. I think that's what I like most about this show. You have to have the mindset that if you're going to post on social media with a lot of followers, than with all those "likes" are going to come the nonsense. If you realize that's just what it is, nonsense, you can get over it rather easy.

I figure as Lauren and Ben have done, they will continue to ignore the noise for the most part, as they should, and go about their lives. They strike me as two people who know what matters and won't get too caught up in it all. And on the rare occasion they want to stick up for themselves, I'm ok with that too, just remember what truly matters at the end of the day.

This post deserves to be on the fresh page. That's all. Perfectly said. The end.

I don't think she should have posted that comment "babe you're just asking for the negative comments" it's just asking for more comments and the way she posted it's like she got upset with him. Then posting pics of her working out shortly after the comments, has she ever done that before?

Oh and JJ needs to stuff it. Telling the those who are not fans to back off when he has no problem ranting about K&S. Yes Ben is your friend but still. Rolling Eyes

I agree. JJ is awful! He needs to "back off!" What a weirdo. Jmho ;)

I think she posted the snapchats before she wrote the comments.

Ah ok.

No she snapped during the day about working out. Then Ben posted the picture with #fitgirl assuming he knew she worked out that day and was trying to show that she's just fit and that got all the comments started. It feels like they were together so if she was upset with him I doubt she would post the comment instead of just telling him and letting him post that picture and caption in the first place.

Earlier in the night she answered a tweet about how she stays so fit and she gave a normal nice response.

Think we may have taken her response the wrong way at first, or made more out of it than necessary. I admit even I did. And I think it's just because we're not used to seeing her respond in this manner.

Hey at least she gave us something to talk about, not so boring after all.

I am not surprised at all, have always pictured Lauren B is such a person, that she is not as sweet as she would love people to think. I don't think it was just her caught up in that negative moment, I tend to think it's her true character finally revealed. I don't mind girl being sassy, just never buying into what she has been trying to sell.

All my opinion.

^^ Yes @seekany is correct. I think it's important to note that this was literally the third picture in a row that Lauren got A TON of body shaming comments. She posted the snaps of her working out and her killer abs, first, IMO, as a way to stand up to the trolls in a more subtle, classy way. I think Ben's #fitgirl post, which came after the work out snaps, was meant to be supportive of her. Loving. He didn't really think it through though, the picture itself with that hashtag just opened Lauren up again for more body shaming, like 3 pictures and a few days in a row. Then, and only then, did Lauren snap. She's human. She's always so classy and on. She's had an emotional response. She's allowed an off day.

Well she should get used to it. Sad to say but it will never end.

And this is when Lauren and Ben are MIA on sm for a few days. IMO, they appear to be committed to communicating with each other. They strike me as the type who would learn quickly from these experiences. A couple days away from IG and they will be back stronger each time this happens. A year from now, they will perceive everything differently than they do right now. Their skin needs to grow a little bit stronger, and it will as they handle these situations. They've impressed me so far!

I don't think she was ever trying to "sell" anything, we just didn't see all of her personality on the show. This isn't the first time she has been sassy post-show... All JMO of course.
