Grant “playing both sides” has always been why so many WA fans don’t like him. I don’t take him liking Danielle’s posts or wishing her a HBD as a slight toward Candice. My issue (as always) is with Danielle. I don’t care if she posts SB bait, that what she’s always done. But, her comment section is gross and Iris is the topic of conversation. The fact that she never deletes any of it tells *me* a lot about her. If Candice’s fans did the same to Caitlin, I would hold her to the same standard.

I don’t think Grant feels like he’s “playing both sides” because Candice and Danielle really haven’t made the cast or any of their mutual friends pick a “side”. They’re not friends outside of work, but they don’t have a problem with each other serious enough that it makes either of them uncomfortable to have Grant, Carlos, Tom, Hartley, Danielle Nicolet, Caity, or anyone be friends with the other. The fandom is where the whole ‘pick a side’ mentality comes from. The rest of the cast-the people who actually witnessed this “drama”-pay no attention to it. Nobody cares, except the fandom. Candice clearly doesn’t need anyone to pick a “side”. Neither does Danielle. Fans of both need to accept that. 

I agree with you about Danielle’s comment section on Instagram being disgusting. It’s so bad, she’d need to delete pretty much half of the comments. If I were her, I’d probably turn off my comments.

So pissed off at these reactions. This is why Grant and Candice barely interact on social media. If fans could be normal instead of flipping shit they wouldn’t have to worry about commenting on each other’s posts.

You might be right. In the few hours since Grant made his comment, people have been going wild with gossip. I’ve seen everything from Grant hates Candice and this was a pity compliment, to Grant feels bad for supporting Danielle so he’s complimenting Candice publicly as a form of apology, to Grant is in love with Candice and flirting with her while his fiancee is away visiting her family, to Candice payed or blackmailed Grant into making that comment. I don’t know which is more ridiculous.

All I know is, I feel sorry for Grant and Candice. They’re friendship shouldn’t cause people to freak out like this. I wish they could just be left alone.

I’m sorry but regardless of the sb bullshit. Grant is Danielle’s friend, too. And sure as hell can post a picture of the two of them if she damn well pleases. The same if she’d post one of her and Carlos. & Grant is allowed to like it without it being conspiracy against Candice. These ‘fans’ are so goddamn entitled thinking they have a right to comment on his relationship like their opinions matter and are justified in cyberbullying his fiancé cause they can’t separate reel life from real life.

I agree. Nobody has a copyright on taking pictures with Grant and posting them. Grant and Danielle are friends, just like Grant and Candice are friends and Carlos and Danielle are friends. They can all post whatever pictures they want with whoever they want. I never said otherwise. I have also been one of the most vocal people calling for Candice fans to stop gossiping about Grant’s romantic relationship with his fiancee, LA Thoma, and hating on her. 

I’m sorry if I’m reading this wrong, but you come off as very angry. Where is this rant coming from? Why are you sending it to me? Look at any of my posts and you’ll clearly see that I never took issue with Danielle posting pictures of her and Grant nor have I ever condoned cyberbullying LA Thoma. You’re ranting at the wrong person.

TBH it’s like Candice’s fans want to sabotage her and Grant. It’s probably a minority but still it’s hella annoying. Grant’s not perfect but he has done stuff for her BTS. We gotta give him credit.

It does feel like that sometimes. 

Candice loves Grant and appreciates what he’s done for her. That’s all that matters. Instead of crucifying Grant for not doing exactly what we think he should do 24/7, we could be like Candice and thank him for what he has done. If it’s good enough for her, it should be good enough for Candicanes too.
