Addendum: Read into it as you will, but Richie has been extremely active on Instagram defending the show and talking about blocking certain faggot retards (ie nico_avchd) for being unconstructive doomers (who, to be fair, IS a faggot retard doomer), and the way he talks is that nothing is wrong. He also off handily mentioned in an IG Story that he would hang out with someone when he was "back up north". Whether that means when he visits next or that he will soon be up there, who knows.
I, the eternal optimist, remain in Wait And See mode. It's on brand for Jet to post random nonsense for no reason than to confuse and discombobulate the audience. I will state for the record I dislike the radio silence, only in the context that they said they wouldn't do it again, but it is what it is.
