It's totally obvious to me, as a woman, that Brooke was uncomfortable. But it looked to me more like she was just not accustomed to "public performance" type of situations, and any woman, even a fully clothed one, would feel vulnerable and nervous in that room with that DJ. I live in Tampa so I've heard him for a lot of years and he is a disgrace. I certainly did not see what Mayor's description in the original thread stated. I thought I would see rough pounding with Brooke crying and trying to get away, but clearly that's not the case.
Honestly, I would feel violated after being on that show, even if no one physcially touched me, so I understand how Brooke must have felt. Solo girls get treated like goddesses by members, and yes, sometimes a shitty email or im comes along, but its easy to delete or ignore those guys. This situation was a LOT different and it was likely the first time she had ever felt demeaned or reduced to an object.
However, with regard to her holding herself after the strap-on, well, she is holding herself when she first gets on the couch. She was pressured into trying, but not by Melissa. Expecting Melissa to protect Brooke is like me leaving my 2 and 4 year olds home alone with a big mean dog and expecting the 4yo to protect the baby from the dog when she's just a baby herself. Brooke is not Melissa's responsibility. Melissa is Melissa's responsibility. Even so, she still did appear to be concerned with Brooke's well-being..again, completely incongruent with the stickey'd thread.
And, you know, Brooke has been on the Bubba show several times before, if I remember correctly. She and her people should have known that Bubba is a pig. Melissa was clearly prepared, and Brooke was not, and that's odd, because, having been there on multiple occassions before, she should have been better prepared.
I don't believe Melissa did anything wrong.
I understand how Brooke would feel violated, but I believe she is misplacing her anger or hurt.
I understand why Mayor got irate; if someone hurt one of my loved ones, I'd be furious and I'd probably speak out in anger and say things without speaking.
All in all, this is an unfortunate event, but I don't feel that any of the people personally involved in this situation are to "blame". I just think the situation got out of hand. I truly believe this is more of an emotional pain issue than a physical pain issue.
As far as Bubba goes, he's a POS. No doubt about it.
Let this be a wake-up call for other women who choose to go on the show to be prepared to be degraded and bullied, or else stand up and demand to be treated differently. Don't allow him to make you a victim of anything from pressure to bad judgement.
If you have a girl considering the show, make sure she is prepared, and make sure you are in the room to keep her from agreeing to do something she doesn't want to so she doesn't look like the prude.
Make sure limits are set BEFORE the appearance is scheduled, with any other talent, and the DJs and producers themselves.
And seriously consider if you or your girl are strang enough mentally and emotionally to withstand the pressure the show brings.
If you can't run with the big dogs, stay on the porch.
And nothing I've said is personal. From what I've seen, I like all parties involved. But just because I like you doesn't mean I always agree with you.
