Why do I feel like this is a, "damned if you do and damned if you don't" situation?... I think if she had actually said something about Jack's loss some people on here would be screaming that it's just for one or more of the following:gibson5858 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 28, 2021 10:15 amYou heard it here, folks.

If my SO parent passed away I would take the day off to be of some comfort to them, and she just only retweeted his tweet not saying anything... yea she could have said something in private but then don't say anything pu lively but she's been all over his sad tweets in the past. That to me seems extremely selfish and distant and really in the mind set of "not my family I don't care"
I know this board can be really harsh on Gab, but jeez.
•attention
•sympathy points
•an excuse not to stream
• to look as if she's close to his family
She didn't say anything (and once again let me reiterate: it's not her place to speak up about JACK'S tragic loss), which is the mature and respectful response, in this situation... And she's being slammed for it but on the other hand it was just brought up that she was also slammed in the past when she publicly provided emotional support too.
If you did some simple research, rather than assume, you'd find out that Jack's father passed away at 8pm according to a post from his older brother. That's AFTER Gab had streamed. So while she was streaming she was not "acting" as if it was another normal day or distant.
On another note, I will add that it's harmful and overwhelming to constantly pressure someone into seeking comfort or to confide in you while they're grieving. People grieve differently and you have to allow that. So if Jack is one of those people who needs space to be alone during this time then her streaming schedule could be conducive to that and no one should blame Gab for it being that way or make assumptions that she's selfish because she's not following him around the house waiting for him to collapse into her arms.
