Is she the victim here?

In the bitter aftermath Summer house In Season 10, Patula turned to Lindsey Hubbard — a friend she still talks to — for comfort.

“I made some bad decisions, but… I was in a relationship like that,” Batula insisted.

The relationship in question was her marriage to Kyle Cook. By the way, the two only broke up in January.

“It’s not me anymore,” Batula protested. “And get out [with West]”It felt…pleasurable again.”

“I think I may have confused going out with the West with falling in love with myself again,” she claimed, feigning introspection.

Batula continued, claiming that West was texting her and “stalking” her to hang out.

She says she is Mostly She refused…until her breakup with Cook, that is. Then I went out with him instead of staying at home.

Hubbard was very sympathetic, believing that West had manipulated Patula when she was at her lowest point.

You showed emotion, heartbreak and emotion. Patula cried too, but not because of her fallen friendship.

On stage, Batula cried when she She was offended by Wilson’s presence with Meija Moreno when the two first connected. She even left the stage.

This was about her – her image, her feelings, her sense of worth.

Meanwhile, when anyone, from her colleagues to host Andy Cohen, would try to challenge her for being a bad friend, she would try to weave out of the conversation, bounce topics, or make more excuses.

Batula was not without friends when the West struck. She turned down parties with friends because connecting with West made her feel good, and because that’s what she wanted to do.

She is now, if not friendless, exercising less than she was just a few months ago. Cheating on your best friend for a guy isn’t just a good look, it makes you the bad guy.

Yes, even if the man she cheated on was worse.
