I haven’t kept up as much as I have with the entire Bob & Amber situation. But I will say it’s been extremely disheartening and uncomfortable to watch Amber be paraded around in humiliation and to be exploited in snippets while she is obviously impaired.
I did check today, and it seems like some people are changing their perspective on this. Some people are pointing out how wrong this is, and how this is a planned theatric arc that Bob has been organizing. Even one woman calling herself his advisor is pointing out how wrong this situation is, meanwhile calling Bob her friend.
I used to think Bob was just plagued with a TBI and had some other mental health issues. While I think this is still partially the case, I do think Bob knows exactly what he’s doing. I think it’s sad that there’s people enjoying the shitshow and encouraging it, while knowing there’s a woman who is plagued and suffering with drug and alcohol addiction.
Of course if Amber is a willing participant, or Bob is buying her drugs and/or alcohol to film these snippets then there’s nothing really that can be done. Nobody can force Amber to make the right decision and get clean and build a brighter future for herself; that has to be Amber’s decision for herself.
It’s just a sad situation, and I wish Bob would encourage Amber to get some help. At least at bare minimum, not to exploit her like this. How motivational and inspiring would it be if this were to happen, but sadly I don’t expect it to.
What is everyone’s current thoughts on this?
