If you don't know, the Matt and Blonde Show was a weekly (briefly twice weekly) show going over a handful of noteworthy news stories for the week. Matt Christiansen hosted it on his channel, and it was co-hosted by Blonde. Matt's more of a borderline-autistic conservative, while Blonde is burn-this-shit-down reactionary, so they had a pretty interesting dynamic. One disassembles and analyzes a story, the other just rips it to shreds.
You may also have heard of Matt from the recent Tenet drama, since he was one of the channels under them. As an independent channel, he was always a very thorough investigator, and meticulous about sourcing his arguments. His work was practically spotless, which made it hard for anyone to smear him until the Tenet thing happened.
We'll have to wait until tomorrow to hear Matt's side apparently. Normally I'd back him immediately, but being involved in a phony federal investigation is the kind of pressure that makes most people crack, especially when they have something to lose.
TL;DR: Blonde says she'd have to pull back on important topics for her (likely race and failing democracy) for somewhat unclear reasons, and chose to leave the show instead, Matt says he'd word it differently. It's all very vague as of yet.
OOOOOF. If true...pretty much what I expected, but terrible, terrible look.
AKA, trying to get out in front of Matt reasonably stating the truth, sounds like.
"whaa, whaa, I'm a victim." As she goes on to say, and as everyone knows, Matt was doing most of the work. This was cumulative frustration, I'm guessing, and not 'wow, how could you hurt your foot.'
AHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Like I said, I like her, but she's insane and spoiled, and pretty much a feminist on certain issues.
She's literally whining about having to read super chats, brings up her kids as an excuse (that's her life situation to solve, and I think this show is basically her full time job, once [now twice...well now zero] times a week), and then says he wants more effort.
Also, 50/50 doesn't surprise me, because Matt seems like that kind of guy...but he was massively overpaying her. Jesus.
As expected, this was an epic bitchfit from Blonde. Sad. Way to throw away a golden opportunity because you're spoiled.
And she goes on to say she's bored. Man, we'll wait and see what Matt has to say, although I expect him to be nice about it. But this is why you shouldn't respect women. I knew this was what she was like but...wow.
Her counterpoint was to take over his show. She's lost the plot. She's in her own little world, holy crap.
So, my first instinct was correct. MASSIVE FUCKING WOMAN MOMENT.
Yeah, cause it sounds like you're dead wrong, by your own arguments.
...
Man. Poor Matt.
Hmm, that sounds familiar. There's another legal contract that you should never sign with a woman. It's on the tip of my tongue...
