ummm who in the world says he is kind or genuine??? you Tom's dad? Brother?

There is 100% more To this. That’s obvious. We will never know all of it cause it involves things that happened or were said in their private lives. I obviously am on Candice’s side here [...] but I think it’s still too premature to just assume Candice is fully clear of wrongdoing here. I hope she is and want her to be but I’m prepared for another shoe to drop with leaked text messages or something.

I like the convo so gonna keep talking whenever I desire on an open public forum. Feel free to ignore me and all the others if it bothers you so much.

You’d think it would make her go the opposite direction and not tolerate a cheater anymore not the direction of learning to accept men will just cheat on her going forward. I mean she’s Candice F-ing swanepoel. Perfect 10 woman. She can do so much better than men who cheat on her and think there are better options.

[...] It might be uncool for Candice to be with Brady but enough time has passed since Joan and him. And doesn’t appear she did anything evil from that article. And not really sure about this “girl code” that says years after a fling stops a friend can’t see the guy. Joan acts like her and Brady were married for a decade. The only ONLY thing I could see is if Joan confided something super secret on Candice and Candice used it to land Brady but that’s really hard to believe. And childish. Look, I get why Joan thinks Candice stabbed her in the back. Same crap happened to me. I confided a lot in my buddy about a girl I was seeing. Then found out months later him and her were fooling around behind me back and she even admitted he made plays for her based off info. I was telling him about her. I was furious. But it was high school not as adults.

Most women think he’s really good looking as well. And I guess with the kids and being a dad they have their single parenthood in common which is a big thing as well.

sure but she could just ya know, not date him if she doesn't like all of this she's a smart woman, she knows who he is and the media attention around his every move (part of which he's brought upon himself by going from woman to woman) but so far what we can conclude in all of this is that she is so into him (in love with him?) that she's... 1) willing to let some of her privacy get away, 2) willing to lose friendships over him and 3) willing to forgive him for cheating on her all of which don't paint her in a great light, i must say... and I am purposely leaving out whatever Joan is implying Candice did to her because I don't trust Joan that it's really as bad as she's seemingly claiming but if it comes out Candice truly did something evil to mess with Joan/Tom AND is a drug user... then I will come around to believing Candice's reputation and popularity is going to take a major hit, sadly

Good point I did forget she was a bridesmaid. And yes I’m also not sure why her friendships are all being analyzed suddenly over one going rogue and falling out. 2 things can be true at once… 1) friends stay close and good friends throughout life but just don’t show it in the same ways. They may not live near one another. They may have gotten married and had kids and have different time commitments and can’t just go out and hang as often. Doesn’t mean you’re less of friends. As you get older this happens. I know from experience as I live far from my lifelong friends. But at the end of the day I know they’re all there for me if and when I need them. 2) you can have a falling out with one or maybe even a couple while maintaining strong bonds to the others. Just cause something ends a friendship with one does not mean all friendships also end. Maybe in high school others would pick sides cause of immaturity but not as adults.

not so sure about that... as I previously mentioned... I last met Candice at an event in L.A. in March where Adam performed a few songs and Behati was obviously there with him. Candice was the only vsfs model to attend. There was a red carpet so yes "publicity" in that sense. But it was a fairly small event. If their friendship isn't "truly intimate" as you suggest I don't think she attends such an event to hang with Behati and support Adam. She was only in town for a few days and I am sure had many things to do.

Yeah cool. No issue with that. Casual sex or friends with benefits is not the same as being in a relationship and being fine with the other person sleeping around during it. Just my views.

it makes sense if that other report is true, that they were dating, and even ready to go public when he had the fling with alix and so candice backed off which, again, to me, is the worst part of this... if they've only been dating for 4 months and already he cheated on her... or at the very least was perfectly fine tossing her aside for another woman... why is she so accepting of that to have taken him back? for many women, that's a dealbreaker and end of a relationship, why is candice ok with it? only thing i can think of would be that they were not serious at all in July and she "understood" that it was ok for him to be sleeping around

of course Tom doesn't want anything too serious or a full commitment, it's a perfect situation for him if they are not exclusive, he can go around sleeping with as many women as he desires (like Alix Earle) without technically cheating so that's brilliant by him not to get locked into any 1 woman meanwhile, it's pretty sad that candice is perfectly ok with that unless she is much like him and sleeping around EmRata style... I just figured she was the kind of woman that would want her men to be loyal to her but guess I was wrong, shows how little we actually know about her (or really anyone famous unless you're legit friends with them)

That explains it then. I had serious issues with them in the past here when they made extremely scary comments implying they knew Candice personally and would bring her parents and children into it. Plus accusing everyone they disagree with of being a bot cause god forbid people have differing viewpoints. Knowing who that person is now I’ll be sure to stop interacting. Nothing good can come from it. Hopefully mods see fit To ban them again. Fan forums are no place for people intolerant of others rational albeit opposing opinions combined with a delusional mentality of knowing a famous person they don’t know at all, imho.

I’m a rational human being. If you can’t understand that you do not know her at all and therefore should not be discussing her values and how she was raised as a child that’s a really big problem that crossed major red lines from just basic fandom into something else entirely.

sorry but ya lost me here... "these are values she has held since she was a child"... this is a blatantly absurd statement, you acknowledge you don't know her personally now or ever and have absolutely zero idea what she was like as a child "I don't know her personally"... ok then stop making comments like you do "but it feels as though I've known her my whole life"... that's a fairly creepy comment to make not gonna lie... all you know is who she is as a vs angel and supermodel... as I've said before... you or me or any of us have zero idea who she really is or what she is like or what values she holds because we don't know the real her at all AND she purposely leads her life in a fairly private manner so that we cannot know her this way
