Lonely Boy and Vanessa seem to show an awful lot of judgement towards the Upper East Siders... But their actions show us that they're not all that noble. Here's a list showing why although Queen B may have done some sketchy stuff, she's not as bad as Dan and Vanessa.
1. He’s Judgmental.
Remember in the first season when Serena was going through all that drama with Georgina? She was in some serious trouble and he barely gave her a chance to explain. He attributed all her pain to part of being an Upper East Side brat. Also, he frowns upon Blair and her scheming ways, but when the going gets bad, he always turns to her. Remember Georgina circa Season 1? Who did Dan turn to in order to save Serena? Wasn’t it Blair? And didn’t she get rid of Georgina? Why all the judgment, Lonely Boy?
2. She Tried To Break Up Nate and Jenny
When Nate had feelings for Jenny all the way back in Season 2, he wrote a heartfelt letter to her in the hopes of getting together with her. But did the letter ever reach Jenny? Nooooo. It was stolen by… V. Stolen! She stole a letter because she was so jealous of Little J! Not only that, Vanessa even continued her relationship with Nate as if she did nothing wrong! AND she even blamed Jenny for being jealous of her!!! Why these double standards, V?
3. He’s A Hypocrite
Lonely Boy walks around Brooklyn shaking his head at those privileged Upper East Siders and their easy lives but in his heart of hearts he is longing to be a part of their world. He says so himself when (spoiler alert) he reveals himself as Gossip Girl. “If I wasn’t born into this world, maybe I could write myself into it”. Um, hypocrite much? If you hated it so much, why were you so desperate to become a part of it? He was also so desperate that he made up a name for himself just to get people to talk about him. Sigh…
4. She Ruined The Archibalds
When The Captain fled the country to avoid prison after committing fraud, Nate had to adopt desperate measures to save his family. When Vanessa got her hands on a photo that could pay of the Archibald debt, she gave it Blair because after all who can ever emerge successful when going up against Queen B? But of course Vanessa had to go and ruin everything by jumping to conclusions and basically making Nate and his family even more worse off. Come on V, have some trust in B.
5. HE! WROTE! A! BOOK! ON! THE! UPPER! EAST! SIDERS!
Who spends years with people, becoming their friends, dating them and getting them to trust you, only to use the intimate details of their lives to get cash??? What kind of a person calls their ex “shallow” and “self absorbed”? That book almost cost Serena her job! Oh and also, Sabrina? Really? Subtle…
And who thinks so little of their own father to portray him as a trophy husband. And worst of all, how cold hearted and manipulative is Dan that he used Chuck’s lifetime worth of pain (that was shared in confidence) in a shallow judgemental book without even getting his permission?!
The Upper East Siders may be privileged, but at least they’re better than Dan and Vanessa… Lonely Boy and V are totally persona non grata for me…
