It's perfectly natural to have mixed feelings about any relationship. In fact it would be weird not to. I was married and divorced, I have plenty of friends that have tried to get me to talk bad about her - I just won't. Just a bad look.
Theres a difference between having feelings vs. airing out your laundry in the press (and on documentaries) and sabotaging the other person's job hunt.
Hey everyone's different. I was raised in a manner where you treat others with dignity and respect, even if there things weren't perfect.
But, thats why its my opinion, and not going to be shared by everyone.
IMO I feel I owe it to people close to me to share the things I've learned via past relationships, even if the things I say paint people in my past in a somewhat undignified and disrespected way. I feel this way because the people close to me were impacted by that past relationship too. I'm sure I'm pointing out both the good and the bad in both the other person as well as myself. I only say such things to close friends and family. Outsiders can't possibly have enough understanding of the nuances of the situation to benefit from such an exchange.
In short, if there are people you think of as being close friends but you can't share your balanced views of the good, bad and ugly with them, I'd wonder if they really were close friends or not.
I dislike how everyone makes these "documentaries" so soon after the events transpire, but it's easy money for the producers so it will never end till we stop watching them. In turn to make money the producers know they have to put a spin on things because no one will watch something that plays things right down the middle. So, the people participating have to be aware that whatever they say is going to be spun.
This latest BSPN thing is
not RKK going to the press, it's almost all second-hand reports or worse. I think Mike Lombardi may be the only named source in the whole piece.
If we assume RKK said the things attributed to him in the BSPN piece, it seems to me to be in the category of RKK telling a current business partner and/or friend about why things ended the way they did. If RKK was doing a truthful and balanced rendition of his views, it feels reasonable to me. Blank's responsibility is to understand he probably is getting a biased view of the situation and not treat it as sabotaging BB's chances. Blank should be more concerned if RKK told him everything was wonderful because clearly it was not.
