Her story is intense, but we ALL need to hear the cats point of view.
this
Honestly, who is this cat? Where did he come from?
😂😂😂
@@arinika90 the cats name is smudge! If you look it up you can find the owners story.
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
that was way more serious than i thought it would be. i’m glad she’s ok now
0⁰pyda57tjrgtutirdbo
Literally haha. Was not ready for that at all. And same, she seems like she’s in a great place and it’s awesome to see she can laugh at herself and not take it too seriously
Oh yeah the Housewives fanbase has been saying the meme is in bad taste for awhile
Me too hopefully everyone is okay in their lives
Also his husband k1ll himself after the show air...
i can't believe that a serious story of abuse was turned into a meme. i'm glad she shared her story
Jesus loves you!
@@JJsWithJesus jesus so horny oh
@@JJsWithJesusbut does she love you?
I find it amazing that she makes a point about how abusive HE was but never talks about her crazy nonsense. It takes two to tango. He described him as "charismatic" which is code for "sociopath" and its her mother's fault for not teaching her not to trust "charismatic'" guys. And now she just repeats the twisted cycle that her mother has been repeating with her father. This cycle will never be broken unless she stops with this type of language and blaming. She needs to look at herself first and foremost, then the actual healing can begin.
@@postplaysStop this BS
What an incredible lady. So strong and well-spoken. The fact that she was laughing and complimenting the people’s creativity over the meme just shows how genuinely nice she is
The well-spoken part probably comes from years of therapy and that's a good thing-- so many people with her kind of problems talk about getting better, but few of them actually attempt the work and even fewer actually succeed. I respect anyone who can climb that mountain.
yeah, what a great woman
Did we watch the same vid?
Not gonna lie, I thought it was going to be a fun history. But much respect for this woman and her resilience.
No replies? Ok leme be 1st
If you want a fun story, watch the cat’s side of the story. His name is Smudge and his backstory is very cute
the same here
@@pbufhWtf is your problem…. His abuse was well documented and then he killed himself and left her with all his debts.
@@ty1840lol, it's like this dude heard about the 'reactive abuse' in the DeppVSHeard story ONCE in his lifetime and now thinks all domestic violence case are the same. haahahahahaha i cannot with these rabid fans
i wouldn't blame her if she despised the meme but i'm glad that she finds it funny and finds humour in something that came from such a traumatic time in her life
That's pressuring every traumatized person to be happy.
@@Demonetization_Symbol
What are you saying? That we shouldn't be happy she's able to laugh at the meme despite the dark history associated with it? Nowhere in that comment does it say "other trauma victims should be more like her" or whatever crap you're imagining.
@@Demonetization_Symbol They literally said "I wouldn't blame her if she despised the meme" - how is that pressuring anyone to be happy? It's the complete opposite.
The point where it said single mo confirm damage
@@Demonetization_SymbolThey said it would also be okay if she hated the meme
This is not the story I expected to accompany this light-hearted meme. She's endured so much, and has grown so much. I'm thrilled she's in a place now she was able to take this in stride.
We NEED to hear the cat's side! Hopefully he doesn't have a sad backstory as well 🤞🏿
*black screen, a loud boom sound echos over the video as the cat is revealed.* “I was left on the street.-“
He just didn’t like vegetals. That’s all.
“A light hearted meme” 😂
I rarely comment on YT, but as someone who suffered of domestic abuse as a child, to him and his mom, I salute this woman for her courage, sense of humour and look on life.
I hope you have a great life ahead of you, for you and your daughter away from misery and pain!
She is such a good sport about a meme that is associated with a deep story. She took the positives from the negative. Dope story and much respect.
Honestly the meme became funnier knowing even the meme creator approved it
My thoughts exactly.
Good sport! First time hear this phrase? What does it mean? Can you educate me :3 I am learning new thing and you are absolutely right about her I admired that 😄
@@Emox991 i think the "good sport" phrase might means that shes cool with it and she doesnt feel bad turning into a meme and just go with the flow 🤔
SHE IS A MEM FOR A REASON SHE IS A VILE WOMEN WHO DOESNT DTFU AND WILL SAY ANYTHING
Poor Taylor " I don't even know that cat" 🤣
1k likes and no replies?
Timestamp please?
@@christophergepullano9029 5:28
I honestly didn't see that coming, for her to talk about this publicly... It takes a lot of guts, I'm glad she's ok now.
She was surprisingly chill about being a meme, but after listening to everything, I’m just glad she’s ok nowadays.
I remember how CREEPY and scary her husband seemed in that first season. He genuinely terrified me. 😨
right??? i’m just watching it now because of this meme and wow. you could tell something shady was going on with him.
@@ceciliap5336 yeah I was getting red flags like crazy from that guy the whole season back then. I wasn't shocked at all when it started coming out that he was abusive. It was a hell of a shock though when he offed himself!
Yea he was a weirdo
@@scandisnowgirl3696 he what?!?
Why??
@@fandemanga3378 yeah. He unalived himself! I mean they said it was bc he had embezzled or misappropriated/misused funds in his company, but I definitely think that he also realised his wife was finally leaving him and that people were becoming aware of the abuse he put her and the kids through. I'm sure both situations made him take that way out
No matter how much you dislike someone, you NEVER put their abuse out there. The person being abused will now live in fear of death more because of the outing. Abusers are narcissistic and don’t like being told that what they are doing is wrong and to put it on television is hurtful
To be fair to Camille Grammer, she exposed Taylor in an intervention type of way. It was dangerous regardless, but her intent was not to weaponize Taylor’s abuse because she disliked her.
@@zenobianone abuse victims don't need 'interventions', certainly not in the company of people who aren't aware of the abuse. They need support, understanding, and safety so they feel empowered and safe to leave the abusive situation.
@@zenobianone it wasn't really an intervention. She didn't believe her. She didn't understand how she seemed so okay and with no bruises if he was so abusive, and why she didn't leave him
@@meikusje Exactly. Intervention can actually make the problem worse. Especially if the abuser becomes aware of it. Helping a victim requires a lot of planning, support and knowing how to help… because if you don’t know how to help your help can cause more harm than good
The edit is fixing typos so there’s no changes to my comment other than a typo fix. Clarifying that because a few Karens have come at me in the past and I’d like to avoid that
So are sympathising with the abuser I'm trying to understand you
She suffered so much yet has a heart of gold. My best wishes for her, hope she live a happy life up ahead..
I can never look at the meme the same way ever again.
Ok
Her husband also killed himself, it’s a really sad story. As a survivor myself I completely empathize with Taylor and can’t wait to see her on the new RHOC
Kinda weird him and his associate killed themselves considering they had some shady business
@@juliacastro8505 what did they do?
Ya'll unnecessarily blaming your husbands. The blame partly lies on ya'll. Don't try to overlook it! 😤😤😤
@@youmemeyou they have a whole reality show, all they do is recorded lol
@@juliacastro8505 staged af 🙄🙄🙄
She’s so honest and open about her sufferings and overcome it. I’m so proud of her. Even though she finds the meme funny I somehow don’t think will look at that meme the same again.
That was exactly my thought. I'll never see it the same.
@@amberjheard as a survivor, I was first thinking omg, this is a horrible story and I felt bad for ever laughing at the meme. but the more I listened to the way she's surfed her trauma, I get exactly why she's so tickled pink at the cat meme
Ok. I read your comment and stop watching the video. I'll now live forever in wonder what the cat meme really was.
@@amberjheard
adelaide have
Well people are willing to listen to her.
In LA that's rare to have because there is so much suffering that people tend to block the rest out
Bro I was genuinely glued to this video. I didn’t know how deep the backstory really was. Glad she’s doing really well.
I feel weirdly guilty for assuming she was a Karen yelling in a restaurant.
I never thought of the meme like this, I saw it as a woman who was drunk, and people yell when they're drunk
She is
@@flixs1353 how?? lmao
@@flixs1353 how?? Or is this her husband from another id?
@@flixs1353 did u even watch the video 💀
There's real darkness behind this story. Taylor was constantly abused and the "suicides" of her ex-husband and his colleague fall under the shadow of some shady business dealings. But to reality show producers, it's just "good TV"
So many business men have been died lately out of nowhere
@@juliacastro8505yes but this was about 12 years ago
her ex-husband died? how? very dark story, her story, the abuse 😢. awful 😞. first time i see her, she impressed me. it’s fortunate that she survived.
Oh he killed himself?
@@Murdermagictricks yepp
She should be proud. It’s a great meme and can serve to symbolize her growth as an individual
I’m so sorry you went through that. I will never look at that meme the same way again. Lots of love to you ❤
I love it when she said, "My life back then seems like someone else's life." That's an indication that she has fully recovered and live a new a life. She's like a different person now. She has changed in a good way. And I love that. I'm so happy for her 😊😊😊
She also got remarried to a wonderful man!
It is also a sign that she isn’t a victim anymore that she is beyond that. Something this generation needs to learn.
It's so nice to know the back story to the meme, it really startled me! I am so glad that Taylor is healing and that she and her child are safe.
So four things off the top of my head:
1. I never thought I would say this about any woman who has appeared on any version of a real housewife show, but I very much respect this woman.
2. I’m very glad she is doing ok now and is out of that situation.
3. RIP one of the funniest memes on the internet - I probably won’t be able to enjoy it as wholeheartedly anymore now that I know the backstory. So big of her to be able to see the fun in if thought! I’ll still find it funny, but not as much anymore now that I know the seriousness behind it.
4. Where is the video with the cat explaining how he became part of this meme?
From listening to her story, we also have to remember, there are NO villains and no victims in this life. If you remember what Allison Dubois said they both have a dark past. We have a tendency to want someone show up a hero that slays the villain. That's not always the case. With that being said, I'm so glad she's in a better place.
@@jenniferlawrence9473 I see what you're saying, but she's also going to help so many women in situations of domestic abuse.
Type in smudge the cat
@@jenniferlawrence9473 She WAS a victim though. Try going to a woman’s shelter for victims of domestic violence and spouting your “philosophical speculations” to them. Better yet try saying this to the families of murder victims. Let’s see what they tell you about there being no victims in this life.
@@jenniferlawrence9473 Hello dear Jennifer, I practice the “A Course in Miracles” by Jesus and what you say is correct but some people are not ready to be disconnected so suddenly from the Matrix.
I can’t tell another how to behave but perhaps it would serve Humanity better to show more empathy in the beginning of the post because your post my dear makes it seem harsh.
Again, I understand that there is no villains; and what I may say may shock others but truly: “Hitler went to Heaven” (Neale Donald Walsch’s Book called “Conversations with God” talks about this in Book 2; I recommend it to anyone who would love to hear what God says about everything you can think of)
Love you all. Judging others can be us judging ourselves because we are actually ONE.
❤
She’s so right. It’s absolutely dangerous to out something like that publicly. That should have been a private conversation I think, and I’m glad she’s okay now
Thank for sharing, happy to hear you are doing well and rising awareness so others don't have to deal with that kind of situation
3:45 She left some stuff out. At the Malibu party Taylor wanted to talk to Camille alone outside. Camille agreed but one of her friends wearing the yellow dress (who many think had a lesbian crush on her) kept escalating the situation by gaslighting Taylor and constantly preventing the two from having some privacy to talk. This triggered Taylor and when the other women heard the commotion they began to physically restrain Taylor even though she was the one being antagonized by Camille’s friend. Eventually Camille’s friend was shoo’d away but then came back again yelling hysterically and this pushed Taylor over the edge. The aggressive pointing was directed at that woman with Taylor saying “you have no idea what she’s done to me” because it really wasn’t her place to talk, that woman wasn’t a housewife or even a friend of the show, she was just some unsolicited drone trying to speak for Camille about a situation she had no idea about. Taylor’s mental breakdown could have been triggered by the combination of physical restraint while being gaslit by a complete stranger about a situation causing her a lot of pain.
Yes, the woman was a "psychic " or something, she was very odd in that episode, a least the way she was portrayed, she was very antagonistic. I watched this episode, and thinking how is that behavior ok?
@@hellenz-b9227 you’re confusing two people and two episodes. You're confusing Allison DuBois, the psychic who went at it with Kyle at Camille's dinner party with DeeDee, Camille's friend who was instigating Taylor and Camille at Linda Thompson's house. Both incidents involved Camille and both episodes had similar titles. The one with Allison was season 1's "Dinner Party from Hell" and the one with DeeDee was season 2's "Malibu Beach Party from Hell".
This should be top comment. Camille was... not nice (for lack of a better word 👀). Birds of a feather....
The lady in yellow should be turned into a meme- a bad one- for what she did
Yes but also you’re forgetting this was the first introduction / party by new (iconic) cast member Brandi who had no idea what was going on and why this lady was freaking out at her party. I think Brandi asks her to leave right before this meltdown or something like that…
I’ve never watched the show, but I’m proud of Taylor for standing up for herself and helping others. She’s not just another “drama queen”, but a human being that has went through a lot.
EDIT: OH MY GOSH A THOUSAND?! Y’all I don’t think I reached this many! Thank you!
@@matejslavicek5574 she literally had her face bashed in to the point that she could have lost an eye. If she wants to undergo surgery to feel at peace with herself and how she looks, let her be.
@@matejslavicek5574 she had a little obsession with filler from the very start, you can see that on that first season, because one of them was married to a plastic surgeon and she went all the time
No one cares
I lost inteterest when you had to thank people for your likes.
@@Crowzey560 dude all I did was thank them it’s not a bad thing. I don’t think I’ve ever reached over a thousand likes before
We need the cat’s story asap 😂
his name is Smudge, he does eat human food at a table on top of a chair, and his personality is like the meme if it helps
wow I respect her so much. I grew up in a household with a very similar situation. I’m glad her mom was able to let her lead a normal childhood. My parents are still together despite their abusive tendencies.
Never realized there was such a tragic story behind a hilarious meme.
FR
Damn this one was heavy... Much respect to this woman. I almost cried listening to her. I'm happy to hear that that's her ex-husband.
he killed himself after she filed for divorce
@@tp6945 that was a cowardly way out for him. SMH
Especially when you fear for your life no matter what you do...if you stay you will get abused if you leave, he seeks revenge
@@lotusgrl444 exactly.
@@tp6945 Too cowardly
I am so glad she got out of that situation & admire her willingness to talk about it so candidly. Hopefully it will help others. I'll certainly never look at that meme the same again, but I love her attitude toward it. God bless her.
this is so sad, I'm so sorry about your eye injure, I can't imagine being in that situation, glad you are in a better place.
I had a "friend " out my abuse infront of my abuser. I had confided in her in secret and she basically told him in front of me that he wasn't a bad person because he's taking us all out to a restaurant! That I must have exaggerated things.
I will never forget the smirk on his face. She made things worse at home.
That’s a backstabber I tell ya
I hope you're okay now. I wish you happiness for the rest of your life 🥺
I hope you're okay now. I wish you happiness for the rest of your life 🥺
why was the abuser smirking instead of angry-looking?
I hope you cut her.
The other woman is at fault for speaking about her abuse out loud when Taylor wasn't ready to speak about it yet...but I CANNOT believe the show actually let that air! They had so many opportunities to cut that out but let it in for the sake of drama and entertainment smh
Yeah 😔
Of course they did!!
Such a nice, sweet lady!! Wish her only the best, she souds so pleasant and kind, I am happy she was able to get out of this terrible situation❤
Inspiring to see how far you’ve come since. I’m happy for you
Not me thinking it would just be some petty reality tv drama behind this. Now I’m crying over this woman’s story. She’s so strong and she shouldn’t have to be!
She.... shouldn't....have....to....be 🤦🤦🤦🤦
Karen, how detached from reality do you have to be to think that we "shouldn't have to be brave"?
It's like you're staying "we should all live in a fairytale bubble"
lmao youre projecting so hard, its not a bad thing to say (in other words) "shame this person went through abuse", like please seek therapy if thats a BAD or dismissive statement to you, cause thats def not what it is lol@@pearlsswine
Good for her. Glad she was able to leave that relationship. People sometimes think women crying like that are hysterical drama queens. You never know the story behind reactions. She had a strong point for having that reaction back then. Good for her that it is over.
Exactly! If someone's crying, it's because it's something that happened that means something significant to them. A lot of times, people dismiss stuff as "not a real problem",but if you were able to deal with a situation that has you so upset,it wouldn't be a problem then, would it?
Yup. Can't believe women would sabotage each other like that, tsk tsk Where's the female love ladies? Where's the BOND.
He actually unalived himself in 2011. He was almost 2 million in debt, Taylor filed for divorce & the horrific way he treated her was coming to light….so he took the cowardly way out. Unfortunately, his family refuses to accept reality & are still pushing for his death to be reinvestigated Bc they think he was murdered.
Agreed. I feel more people should respect how people feel even if it feels like it’s not that serious to them. They wouldn’t be upset without good reason.
Im so happy she's doing so much better now and that she can look at the memes and laugh at them even though it was such a dark time in her life. She seems like a truly kind woman.
It sounds like you share your mother's strength. That's a blessing. I hope your story reaches every human who needs to hear it. It's incredible that you can laugh at this moment in meme form. I hope you have closure and peace. Thank you for telling your story.
Just goes to show that you never really know what's behind a meme. That's so interesting. An absolutely terrible story with a great ending. Good for you girl!
being outed like that on national television sounds like a horror story to me. How can people have so little empathy...You're amazing for surviving all of this
best wishes
Everyone on the show would out everyone’s cheating husbands, abuse, legal situations, addictions, etc.. those women are so evil to each other just for tv its CRAZY
Camille was voted the least liked housewife that first season. Hurt people hurt people. Her husband was cheating on her and had asked for a divorce, so she was taking it out on everyone. She really was horrible that season
Omg! What an amazing strong lady ❤I’m so glad you survived and you are wonderful to help others. 👏✨💝so much love and blessings to you 💕
I have been waiting for this for ever!!
She seems like a really nice person. Glad she's happy in life. And happy for the meme! 😁
The fact that Taylor’s mum got abused by her father and then Taylor got abused by her husband - that is really heartbreaking and eye-opening. This shows that generational curses are real!!!
Or maybe she never had a good example and subconsciously attracted it
You make it sound like its her fault. You are not responsible for an abuser
Her energy taking her into other abusive relationships . she had low self steam no self respect for her no confidence this kind of people used to abuse that they think its normal to abused thats why she lived with his abuser for 6 year to the point he afraid he will kill her someday normal women would have leave him in year. .i know because i also attract boys who abused me because i had same problem but now i changed and attracted nice guys i love respect care for my mental physical health .confident women
@J Not at all. It doesn’t matter if you are raised by a single parent, or 4 parents…what matters is if you grow up with or without abuse, especially at a young age. That is what statistically makes you more vulnerable to getting into a similar situation.
Nope. Women are always attracted to men who were like their fathers or father figure
Hey, for what it’s worth this meme brought laughs and joy to so many people. The end doesn’t justify the means but we are glad you are doing so much better three days
This story is so sad but I'm glad she's okay. Thank you for making a meme out of a painful situation
That meme doesn’t seem funny anymore after knowing the back story to it. Glad she survived all of that and I respect her honesty. 🙌
I'm so glad she's alive!
It was never funny
It's funny now because she gives it some context that you can run with.
@@flixs1353 Jesus Christ! You have no sense of humor!
Edit: I mean, when was the last time you cracked a smile, Denton?
@@Xurreal not sure domestic abuse to the level were she is fearing for her child's life is fun context.
Also "get a sense of humour" is something only someone who has no sense of humour says.
I've been with someone who used to hit me regularly. I completely understand where she's coming from. People don't realize how scary it is. People say just leave. But they don't realize how scary it is to LEAVE
@@PersisP As a survivor myself, I wholeheartly agree with you 🙏
It’s more than scary. It’s dangerous. A DV victim’s chances of being murdered go up substantially when they leave the relationship. That’s why an escape plan is so important, preferably with help.
I wish there were organizations of huge, scary dudes who would show up at a house when a victim is about to leave and keep the abuser from harming or following. Then maybe the victims wouldn’t be forced to flee with nothing but the clothes they’re wearing and then living in fear.
Leaving is the most dangerous time 💜
Exactly! And it's like,where would you go? There's always eyes on you- his relatives,friends,etc,and so many of them are so willing to "snitch" without knowing the whole story
@Evil Sharkey,yup. The most essential thing is to put distance between yourself and your abuser. Not just physical distance,but also "friends and family" distance. In other words,be careful who you communicate your intentions of leaving to,as well as where you're going. Try to have someone and someplace you can turn to that is completely unknown to your abuser and anyone he's connected with. Unfortunately,that often means your own family too. If possible,try relocating to a place you have little connection to- a place that's unexpected,and one where it would be hard for him to just pick up and go to for more than a day (if you can do another country,it's ideal in terms of safety,but there's a lot of logistics to consider- language and job prospects not being the least of them). Also,ALWAYS have your own money, unknown to your abuser,for expenses after leaving. It's a hell of a sacrifice,but you can't take chances on having your abuser searching for you,and worse, finding you.
She gone thru so much glad that she loved it and creativity of people putting out her memes.
Such a great soul may she gets more abundance in her life
I need to say that behind the memes there are very difficult stories. I love to see how well she carried the meme even though at that moment she was going through a difficult time in her life. I respect her
She deserves none of the abuse, no one does…. I’m glad she’s in a better place, and the meme makes her happy
Wow! Never knew there was such a dark back story to this meme. Thankfully, she is out of the dv situation.
Don’t know if you want to know this but, she filed for a divorce with her husband Russel, and he ended up k1lling himself and lesving her in one million dollars worth of debt, she had to pay with 2 Hermes birkins and her wedding ring.
@@garinxx501 wow, even in death he had his grips in her
@@TheKh65 what did her say
I love that she’s able to laugh at it despite the actual context and all she went through ❤️
Wow! a Really Dramatic Back Story for such a Funny Looking Meme..Kudos to you for being Courageous and Finally getting Free from all those abuse. Happy 4u that u finally found peace again. anyhows putting the cat on the meme really makes the meme Cuter. Hope someday u'll know who taught & started it.
What an amazing story. From traumatized to triumphant. This meme has always been one of my favorites, but I may look at it a bit differently now.

This is why I can’t understand when people are like “but why don’t you just leave.” Because they’re TERRIFIED for their lives, that’s why. Abusers and manipulators will go over the edge if they think they’re losing control of you or the carefully crafted lie they’ve created.
It's great to see Taylor doing so well. At the time of the show, I was in the middle of my own abusive 13 year marriage. The abuse was daily by that time. I felt completely alone. I'm proud to say that just like Taylor, I am a survivor and although that time seems like a lifetime ago, I am still healing, but I deserve to be happy and at peace and I keep that in mind. For anyone living in the daily hell of abuse, you deserve to be happy and have peace as well. You are worthy, even if you've been made to feel like you're not. Much love ❤️
I just want you to know that a random person on the internet (me) is proud of you and your strength to get out of a very difficult situation.
I am so proud and happy for you. I support you. You are right, you deserve happiness and safety. That is a beautiful powerful message you just gave to all survivors ❤️
She seems like such a good, gentle soul. May everything is good for her.
I’m so proud of her growth! I remember her from the OG cast. I’m so happy she is in a better place!
I absolutely love her outlook on this whole thing ❤
I'm so glad that the meme doesn't bother her. Love Taylor and I admire her strength
This woman has been through a lot, but I’m glad she’s ok now. Plus she seems cool with how she has taken the meme.
such a devastating story, but i’m glad she overcame it. i love how she has positive energy toward the entire situation. she’s a strong and inspiring woman 💞💞
You are a strong woman, The fact that this picture depicts a traumatic moment, would’ve hurted many women if they were in your situation, but you are strong❤ you go girl!!!
I had no idea. I thought the lady in the meme was an actress from some drama.
I completely related to what she was saying about being in an abusive marriage. Concealing it, and wanting your friends and family to be nice and pretending everything is fine. You feel ashamed that it's happening. It takes a lot of energy. I'm glad that she's safe now and in a better place.
I hope you're safe now too
@@gabbym333 Thank you. I am in a much better place now thank you x
I remember i saw the meme way back and then in quarantine i saw the first season and i was so shocked, everyone was so mean to her and didn't believe her. She didn't mention the part after where her ex took his life, and one of the wives was blaming her. They were horrible. She has definitely come a long way and she's here so I'm happy for her. Go Taylor
Watching that clip of her yelling her fear is palpable. I’m crying for her right now. I’m so happy she’s ok now but holy crap that was a terrible time for her
A wonderful turnaround for such a serious problem behind the scenes, I'm happy she managed to get her life on a more positive road for both herself and her family, I had no idea this was the situation behind the meme and I'm glad she was able to share her story.
The contrast between this lady's reaction to the meme versus the first world problems crying lady's reaction 🙌🏽😂
Wow what the other house wives did was pretty cruel
But it turned out to be positive for her, so I’m glad she did it
@@stringer2295 truee I'm glad everything turned out okay in the end
TV makes people do selfish and irresponsible things.
I’m sorry..big WHAT energy?? 😰😰
@@stringer2295 you're glad who did what? The woman who outed Taylor? (I'm genuinely confused)
Having seen the show before this became a meme, it broke my heart to see such a painful moment for her becoming so viral. I’m just glad that finally people are aware this isn’t all laughs. Go Taylor!
It's one of the most iconic memes out there... adaptable to almost anything... love it
Sending respect and love for what you've been through. Had no idea our stories are similar
Wow this was more serious than I thought, and I’m glad as a DV survivor myself that she is now safe
Am i the only one wondering where the hell a cat even falls in any of all of this ?
Dont wonder… The internet is just a mashup of random stuff..😂 one of those bazzillion random stuff is bound to hit the spot… this is just one of those..😂
The cat landed on its feet.... they always do.
This just made me cry. Bless her heart
A very resilient woman 🩷
I love her for having the strength to share her story and admire her ability to laugh at this meme.
I really admire her courage and resilience. Go Taylor!
I’m waiting for the cats POV now.
I was more curious about that from the beginning lol
LMFAOOO
ikr
😂😂😂
I jus did no like vegetals
Her story is actually empowering!!! Proud of her for being so resilient and also being a good sport about the meme, all around amazing heroine
5:40 the meme inspired arts are fabulous not gonna lie. I feel bad that I was entertained by the facade of a truly awful backstory 😢
Taylor really has come a long way... to not only go through what she did, but having a costar expose something so dark -- can't even imagine. She's so strong.
So, it took me only 7 minutes to completely fall in love with her personality. Such a strong woman 💪
What a strong lady ❤ amazing she’s here to tell her story
This level of testimony is way beyond my trust operation zone.
2:21 She perfectly worded how hard it is to juggle your life while you're in an abusive relationship. You need to keep everyone at bay so they don't find out you're not ok while also making excuses for your abusers' sketchy behavior. I remember trying to reach out to friends about all the trauma I was facing while trying to hide the fact that my boyfriend was the one responsible. It's so draining...
She sounds really cool and down to earth and seems to be in a really positive place emotionally after what she’s been through, strong lady ❤
She's one of my fav memes. Thanks, lady!
Eagerly waiting for part 2 where the cat explains his trauma he went through
I’m so happy people are getting to hear Taylor’s story. She’s so strong and has come such a long way❤️ Can’t wait for the new season of RH of OC
I was expecting a light and fluffy story - so glad she’s in a better place ! And yes for talking to college students
Me too. I'll never look at that meme the same way again.
This meme is one of my favourites. I'm sorry to hear about how it came about, and i am so glad she is now in a better situation in her life. ❤
"don't judge book by its cover"
thats why this common line is important for us after listening her terrible story behind this meme. she got a lots of respect.
I love how she overcame that dark period in her life and definitely look at that meme differently now!
