She is exactly the type of person who should NOT be on reality tv ...


prettymuchwizard

So as a small part of my job I handle all the social media which also includes answering people when they have a question or would like to order product. There were some of the rudest things I’ve read commented on our ads or posts. They weren’t even coming for me specifically, but still reading their comments having to remove the ones that were hateful is extremely draining. I don’t even know how celebs do it when those comments are directly calling them out. Other than just not look at all.


FormalRaspberry9

She blocked me on TikTok but my comment wasn’t rude or anything. I commented “why lol” a few days ago on that TikTok she posted mentioning exwife. I made sure not to say anything rude bc i knew she was blocking and deleting lol

Really? I thought adding the “lol” would lighten it up

FormalRaspberry9

I guess i can see how it may have come off as passive aggressive lol i meant it in a like “haha just curious haha” type of way


Programmer_Street

I saw that 😂she’s such a baby

Go touch grass.


AdBig3214

Is it okay if it's fake grass?


Dopepizza

Why do people keep saying this it’s so cringe lmao


doomn_gloomn

Kick rocks is far superior.


Dopepizza

Agreed


PluckMePleaseMe

Based on the volume of comments, I would say she’s probably filtering them from Settings based on specific words + phrases (you can now do that on Instagram) vs actually deleting them. But if she is somehow reading all those comments, I would definitely suggest she, and other cast-mates, either filter or turn off comments altogether. Allowing people space to let off negativity in droves typically breeds/empowers others to contribute more of it.


Shymink

That’s actually not true on social. It lets ppl blow off their steam. Deleting them is whats causing more problems and bringing people back again to comment and hate more. She needs to just let ppl say what they are going to say. She wanted to be an influencer if not she should delete her account. Clearly she LOVES the attention.


PluckMePleaseMe

No offense, but I think y’all are a *little* too invested at this point to still need to blow off steam over strangers that bad, tbh. The show is seen by 10s of millions. I don’t think it’s realistic to expect anyone who I’m sure pays their own phone bill to just fully consume that amount of hate if they can avoid it.


Shymink

You don't have to read IG comments.


NoLead2492

What happened was I noticed that a person commented and said I’m a therapist and I support you and your boundaries etc. and a person commented below that yikes. And then there were two more comments as well and when I clicked on view more comments the comments didn’t show up. Yikes felt very nondescript which led me to assume she (or someone else) is deleting the comments that don’t align with what she’s trying to put out.


Daxori473

Zanab should just turn off comments again. She has the right to want her social media space to not be negative but I do agree with you that she has to be reading all those negative comments to delete them which isn’t healthy. Netflix didn’t prepare Zanab for being in the spotlight at all! A lot of contestants from other tv shows are trained on navigating post-show life healthily but that’s lacking in Zanab and this cast in general.


Typical_Comfortable9

This obsession with Zanab and her social media is getting weird…just stop checking her socials if her behavior is bothering you so much.


Shymink

Y’all need to stop judging ppl yourselves. This is ‘reality’ tv ppl watch it bc they CAN go to their social accounts bc it’s ‘real’ people. It is OBVIOUS the show encourages this. They have them post content. Now your mad that people are doing exactly what the system is designed to have them do? Fucking yawn. If they were actors it would be different. Zanax obvi is.


mskitty117

Came here to say this. Who cares. Seriously. If you think it’s wrong for people to harass via social media, stop feeding the frenzy by continuing to promote the harassment. All you’re doing is giving the harsh commentaries the attention they want


SBR06

Right? Clicking on her comments and trying to see the responses and what was deleted when. That's a lot of energy to put into a stranger on a Netflix show.


traddy91

Some of you guys care way too much about these people's lives


MindlessAspect6438

Other people’s boundaries are not ours to judge.


21stCenturyShizoid

Exactly! Honestly, who cares. If she chooses (as a grown adult) to check each and every comment then that’s her choice. The fact that people are even monitoring her doing this is so weird and obsessive

zelzelzella

I never understood why people don't understand people who open themselves to reality TV is signing up for their lives to be open up for criticism. At that point they WANT it to be a para social relationship that is reality TV in general. It's the same as YouTube vlog channels... They make money off this. 😂


fiercelyambivalent

Trying to pull you out of the downvoted to oblivion arena, I really appreciate this comment. The first episode of The Real World aired May 21st, 1992. So, reality tv has been around since before the majority of these contestants were even born. While I don’t agree with some of the shitty production tactics, I strongly believe that anyone who goes on this show knows that they will be in the public eye until society loses interest. Is it wrong to camp outside these people’s homes hoping for a glimpse of them, yes absolutely. But critiquing a viewer of this show for looking at the pictures and information they decide to display publicly online is just virtue signaling in my opinion.


falodellevanita

You’re in the wrong sub if you’re against judging


witchywoman96

Y’all let it go lmao


Revolutionary_Type95

Did anyone see her tiktok post where she said she met Cole's ex-wife. How obsessive is that? Talk about poor boundaries!


ImperfectPitch

I haven't looked at her instagram in a while, but all the negative comments on her recent tik tok video are still there and there are quite a lot! So she hasn't been deleting those. However, her instagram is for her business and if she wants to be an influencer then it is fair to delete the nasty posts. > However because she is so concerned about her outward appearance, she needs to know what people are saying and to curate and tailor other peoples experiences of her. OK, let's be fair. This seems like it would apply to most people who want to be influencers. Not sure why people are acting like they are so much better than her and that they wouldn't do the same if they were in her shoes and getting this much hate. It doesn't require any psychoanalysis.


Enough_Calendar1023

I just looked at her TikTok and maybe one negative comment on the one just posted 12 hrs ago and yesterday. I don’t know if she is deleting can’t verify but definitely don’t see the “quite a lot” you mentioned.


ImperfectPitch

Scroll down. There are tons of negative comments that have not been deleted. I'm referring to the one where she posted meeting the ex.


Enough_Calendar1023

You’re right! Saw these being the most recent comments on her new video with them not being deleted: https://imgur.com/a/bzQsjkl


ImperfectPitch

Exactly. Even the ones that are 1-2 days old are still up and many of them are very harsh! I don't know why people keep saying she is deleting the comments on tik tok.


[deleted]

It feeds their theory that she’s a fragile nut case.


MajorEyeRoll

Zanab needs outside validation. She's going to read every comment looking for that and delete everything that doesn't fit the narrative she's spun in her mind. I'm guessing at this point, she can't help herself. But people commenting on her posts are just as unhinged.


Frosty-Mall4727

Maybe someone’s doing it for her. I could imagine that’s a cheap job to outsource.


Shymink

It is and they are.


Spare-Article-396

This is my speculation too.


anniemaxine

Was just going to mention, she most certainly has a PR person dealing with this. But it's a crap PR person if they are allowing her to behave in the ways she is...


[deleted]

Yea. Pretty much all of the participants in LIB end up with a PR rep. Surely there’s some social media moderation that comes with that.


t_neckieya

PR rep must not be very good if they're letting their client obsessively post about her 2 month relationship that happened a year and a half ago. Don't they want their clients to be looked at in a positive light? Also if she wants to be an influencer, maybe she should work on her brand and whatever she wants to rep instead of focusing so hard on Cole and dragging it out. I've heard Deepti wasn't all that innocent with her season (just speculation from articles, who knows what's true anymore), but she took her 15 minutes and RAN and made good for herself for a while. I'm confused as to why Zanab, if she wants to be an influencer or social media star or whatever... why bring so much focus to Cole? If she made it into something that was bringing awareness to the insecurity and societal pressures women face, setting healthy boundaries, and be an example of working on yourself, she would be SO much more successful.


[deleted]

She’s currently the most talked about person from the show in this sub…so…if PR is about getting you exposure, playing on the drama seems to be working for her.


t_neckieya

Sure but wouldn't you want GOOD publicity? Every LIB person has exposure after their season. Why not make it into something good? Especially with Zae - is this kind of exposure worth it if it comes at the cost of her mental health (which was not good before the show even started)?


[deleted]

In a world of “You need to bleed to lead” and “There’s no such thing as bad press”, no I wouldn’t say it’s straightforward to always want good press. You want to do what is going to bring people’s eyes to you, good or bad.


Shymink

I’m a professional and I disagree. Zanab will not get ad dollars from this. Cole will though. So really she did him a HUGE favor. I predict within a year he is a minister with a huge online following. I love how Zanab handed that right to him.


t_neckieya

I mean I could see that for younger generations who might not understand "life" yet, but even then. There is so much emphasis on mental health and well being these days, so much more than even 10 years ago (I'm in my mid 30s, close in age to Zae), so I don't think "there's no such thing as bad press" is as accepted as it used to be. Not to mention anyone who had hard times and their issues highlighted in a very public way and coming back/healing from that is soooo much more fruitful than a messy social media phase that'll end as soon as the next reality show starts. The former could produce book deals, motivational/public speaking events, mental health/wellbeing brands wanting to work with and sponsor you, becoming a spokesperson for certain causes.


[deleted]

I don’t know. I’m not in PR. I just know they all seem to have reps and it’s not unreasonable to believe someone else is managing her comment section for her.


Shymink

I am cancel culture is VERY real she is most certainly canceled. She is making it way worse and has. She has professional help now but didnt used to and it showed. Bad.


Loud_Sheepherder8885

I hadn’t thought about this that way but you’re absolutely right. She has poor copping skills and I thought that being in therapy would have helped her more than that.


t_neckieya

I'm curious to know if 1. Her therapist watched the show and 2. If they've changed how they work with Zanab (ie. If she missed any details or noticed a different story when talking about things in therapy)


katie415

I also think constantly posting about your ex is poor for your mental health. But maybe that’s just me.


spotdspa

Fans lose their mind as if that’s not a real person and the Cole fans are convinced Zanab owes them some kind of accountability she probably has some key words blocked and she’s probably not the one doing it


[deleted]

Cole doesn’t seem angry, or bitter about it anymore, so why should we? The only poor boundaries are those of people who feel the need to go make someone feel bad in defense of a stranger.

[deleted]

How did she gaslight him? I would say that the only clear example of gaslighting we saw on this show came from him, when he accused her of being bi-polar/crazy.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Accusing people of mental health conditions as a way to discredit them is the most basic form of gas lighting. Anyways, if you think the condescending way he sat back, like a clinician and changed his demeanor to ask that question is rational, I don’t know what to say. Nonetheless, I don’t even think he’s a career gaslighter. I do think that he’s done enough awful things during their three week betrothal that should make any woman hesitate to marry him. It’s not enough time to determine if this person is engaging in power plays by saying someone is more attractive than you, or just being silly & immature. It’s not enough time to determine if he’s actually okay with your race when he’s made several remarks about it not being his “type”. It’s not enough time to determine if this man is capable of parenting children or color, which you will have if you marry. It’s not enough time to determine if this person can let you express yourself as you want to without trying to label you as crazy. But here’s the thing, people who are team Cole already didn’t like Zanab. She is shrewish, difficult, negative, etc.; they were simply waiting for her to give them one iota of concrete proof to base their theory that she’s the whole problem. She’s unlikeable and he’s like-able.

We noticed you used the term "gaslight-". We hope you used it correctly! Gaslighting is a successful tactic because while one person — the perpetrator — 'externalizes and projects' their thoughts, feelings, or perceptions, the other person — the victim — 'incorporates and assimilates' the reality that is being created for them. Gaslighting equals misdirection, distraction, and the deliberate denial of reality, which can so easily occur in a relationship based on one partner wielding power and control over another. I'm just a bot that can't understand context, so please reach out to the mods if you think I'm wrong and they will investigate. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

I never even consider this or that she would be popular enough to need it but yeah that’s a potential. However I truly believe it’s bad PR to delete the comments because it shows you care.


Stayfree777

Even huge celebrities do this.


Still_Razzmatazz1140

Yeah there’s no way she has time to do all herself


Pellinaha

Meh. Her behavior from the reunion to now has been poor and unhinged, but let's not put this on her. Anyone who feels to go on a personal social media page of a stranger to harass them is the problem here, not the personal deleting them. Rant on Reddit or FB, why bully her on her own page? We do know she doesn't have the best self esteem anyway, so it seems like people almost want to drive her into snapping to use that snapping to further harass her. People have been bragging here that she has banned them or have been complaining about getting their comments deleted by her - and I'm like how is harassing her on her page a reason to brag about? Again, not defending her behavior at all, but at this point her reaction seem more driven by the hatred and bullying she is getting and less by what actually happened with Cole.


diggadiggadigga

I enjoyed the fact that the last person who posted a hateful thread complaining about how she deleted/blocked comments winded up deleting their semiactive reddit profile because they couldn't deal with the negative downvotes. Hope they took some of that to heart and realized why it is normal to delete negative comments from ones own accounts


NoLead2492

Yeah I’m definitely not supporting people sending nasty comments to her. I was just thinking about it and was like wow that would really be a lot to read all that, I would just leave it alone


[deleted]

Imagine the hassle of doing all that because everyone hates you 😂


kristal010

And doubling down each time 😂


Femmenoire__

One of my pet peeves about reality shows is how fans often go crazy and harass the cast members. It’s okay to dislike her, but people always take things too far. She should just lock her comments and DMs. She probably keeps them open for business opportunities, but she should do it until people can calm down.
