But she didn’t and while people may not like it this doesn’t make her a slut. Yes, Mimi could have played it better and yes, maybe it might have been kinder to have waited at least a few weeks before she went on a date with Fred.
By airing this kind of behaviour between women it’s making it ‘ok’ for us to continue to call each other nasty, hurtful names. And while I know, I know, the show isn’t ‘real’ and things have been created for entertainment purposes, are we really still doing that? This is 2017 and slut-shaming is still very real, and what’s worse is the show is facilitating a platform for women to be pitted against each other on a national scale. Throughout the show, Mimi was called 'slut,' 'easy,' and 'desperate' so many times I lost count. It was all pretty grim and while I have all the feelings for just how shit Liv must be feeling right now – this doesn’t excuse what came next. Mimi and Fred hung out right in front of Liv. However, in last night’s extremely uncomfortable episode, things took a weird turn. 10/10 for sticking for what you believe in and not letting Fred and his flowing hair get away with it, Liv. Liv, was understandably not ok with all this – and decided to end things with Fred.
Mimi found this out, and continued to flirt with Fred, and openly express just how much she fancied him – to both Fred himself and his now ex-girlfriend Liv. The two flirted after meeting at a party and Fred sneakily texted the mate that introduced them saying ‘where have you been hiding her?’ Not cool Fred, not cool. Canadian Mimi also awkwardly fancies Fred, and made that very very clear from the get go. Liv has been enjoying a new romance with her now ex-boyfriend Fred. Let me give you the short explainer on what exactly has gone on since the new season started. I’m talking about the whole Olivia Bentley (also know as Liv), Mimi Bouchard rivalry. Last night’s episode of Made in Chelsea struck a chord with me, and not just because Sam threw the most awkward drink over Jamie in the history of MIC drink throws.
