Meredith, as you’ve seen from seasons previous, she’s at all times the one which’ll plant the seed after which she’s at all times received someone that’ll run away with it and that’s much like what occurred right here. And , I say disgrace on each of them.”

After the episode aired, Meredith filmed a scene together with her son Brooks, who lately opened up about breaking apart together with his boyfriend, and a few followers claimed Meredith was utilizing her son’s sexuality to defend herself towards the backlash.
“My opinion is that there have been some strategic conversations behind the scenes. And I consider that after that episode aired, there was a complete bunch of back-peddling taking place. And , she’s a wise lady. And I believe she took the chance to leverage her son and issues like that, realizing that this didn’t land fairly the best way they needed it to,” he mentioned. “My thought is, , if I had been a cheater and if that had been a factor, say that.

So she’s prepared to go as little as she completely can to harm, destroy or defame anyone on the forged. No one’s exempt … And , she actually doesn’t run round within the … the homosexual neighborhood that we take part in Salt Lake Metropolis. So, to me, it’s only a blatant misinform create story and simply attempt to harm someone.”
Concerning Monica’s on-screen fights with her mother, Shawn expressed, “I might simply by no means carry [my parents] on a nationwide tv to attempt to expose the scenario in that type of means. , for me, it’s simply reckless, it’s messy … So for me, I questioned the character of this individual.”

So I cannot have interaction in any type of a relationship together with her shifting ahead.”
Reacting to Monica’s declare that she went to the ER after falling down Angie and Shawn’s basement stars – which allegedly weren’t as much as code – Shawn said, “I didn’t know that occurred once we [had] that occasion … To me, it’s simply one other layer of the messiness and the weeds that she’s prepared to get into to kind of create and perpetuate sure narratives that make her a sufferer … I don’t need anyone to get harm in my home, however the best way our home is designed, we will do no matter we would like with it.”
He went on to say, “I’m sorry that she fell, however I can’t take duty for that. From what I perceive from among the those who type of witnessed the factor, it was similar to she slid down on her butt. So it’s like, I don’t know the way legs and stuff like that received concerned.”
