BB never mentioned or gave an example that he had to explain/comfort a loved one, like his mother, why someone wants him fired.
Kate Mansi is the devil because Abby fucked EJ. We get it. Seems like people are just proving her point to me.
Just like AS is the devil because Sami is fucking EJ. Let's not act like fanbase bullshit doesn't go every direction.
Also I wasn't talking about the entire fanbase at all. But this rather obvious and transparent issue that one person is having with the answer to this one specific question. Fair enough. I guess I simply bristle at the idea of opinions being dismissed even if I may think they are driven by a biased agenda because that just stifles discussion. I mean, it's that same as telling somebody the only reason they are rooting for Ejabby is because they want Ejami to break up. It may be true, but it doesn't make their opinion on Ejabby any less valid as an opinion. At the end of the day, pretty much every opinion could be summarily dismissed because we are all biased fans, even if we are not shippers.

But you could see this one coming a mile away. I obviously have my own bias one way or another about every single actor or character too.

I beg your pardon but now who's reading minds. I'm telling all of you that KM bringing up having to defend herself to her mother for being called a whore when posting a picture of a sunset is a bit over the top in defense to criticism about her character. It's that simple. No smoke and mirrors, no hidden agenda.
I'm not the one who said you were reading her mind. But maybe I've just become enlightened and now possess those powers too. You've made like 5 posts and given no indication that you were an EJami fan so it has nothing to do with the overall fanbase. But I was right about what I said and why this bothers you so much. Also this wasn't criticism of her character, it was on a picture of herself and her brother. That's a big difference. Unless you mean HER character as in KM's actual character and not Abby. The question was:
"You’ve also both had experiences with negative fan feedback. Tell us about that."
After BB answered, then the question, "What about you Kate?"
And her answer was the picture and being called a whore and having to explain to her mother. I'm sure there is negative feedback towards her that is not as obnoxious or rude, so I could understand her answering a "worse case scenario" if the question was:
"What was the worst negative fan feedback you've had." But it was a general question about the overall negative feedback and she went there, basically pointing her finger at anyone who is negative to her and her character like this person who called her a whore. That's how I see it, again just an opinion.

The fanbase stuff has been flying for years and KM said she was warned when the storyline direction was made known around the set. With her mom being in the business(dancer, model, producer) I wouldn't think she would need much of an explanation.
I think it's different now because the writers seem loathe to commit to one direction or another. And the actors are left trying to explain WTF their characters are thinking because the writing/directing isn't there to show us in the first place. It's lazy and leaves inexperienced people like KM open to this kind of criticism.

Like I said, KM takes it to a personal level, regardless if she is laughing and poking fun while doing it.
Yes, I'm sure you know better than me what was said.
I trust the integrity of the interview. Are you telling me how I should read it?
Yes. If it's coming across badly, that's on me. Because nothing you've said is at all how anything is. You're reading things into it that weren't there and since other outlets and sod usually aren't available to defend what they print, I am. There was nothing personal or defensive or whiny about it, so if you're managing to turn it into that, then I must have not have presented well. it's not you....I've noticed that ANYTHING she says some take offense to....I get it..it happens with other actors too...I had the same problem in the past with JS interviews and he hasn't done many of late but there was a point back in 09/10 that his interviews would be total WTF moments for me.....he came off as rude, and assholish. But nothing KM said in this interview or the way you presented it was wrong....

This is true. I didn't mean it like that. But you could see this one coming a mile away. I obviously have my own bias one way or another about every single actor or character too. I can recall several instances of cringe worthy responses from actors on the show:
1st there is Peter in twitter. I haven't said anything bc true I'm not invested in him or those in his orbit.
2nd remember the guy who played Jett? He said after he was canned that a fan said that Days fired him for posing naked in a magazine and he wrote, "now I'm beginning to think they were right." Totally unprofessional, he won't be back.
And then there was Austin Peck who criticized the show for centering around Sami and that anyone who wants to stick around better be involved in her s/l (throwing shade at BD I think). Unprofessional.
And now here is KM, with her throwing shade at fans of the show. Not cool.

My confusion is coming from there not being a complaint about Blake. Because he didn't mention his mom? Otherwise, the answers are the same. His gets personal too. And you know what? Both answers were just them laughing about stupid stuff. if you didn't get that from the write up, I'm telling you now. It was just funny. There was no shade throwing. No snark. No whining. No complaining. I was prepared for all of the above with Kate, and it didn't happen.

I have a ton of respect for him and I know that he would blast me for getting on KM about this. But I'm not going to not say what I feel I think that would make me a total suck up which I think he'd also hate, probably more. But if there was anyone who could get me to shut up about KM he'd be one.

but this was not criticism against her character, the person called HER a whore.....there IS a difference. Did you even read BB's response:
"Blake: Yeah. I get a healthy stream of fan mail. It’s sizable. It’s not small. It’s not overwhelming, though. I get kind of a sick pleasure out of it. It means that the story is resonating with people, and they care. I think it’s important for people to be invested in the show. It’s strange to me when they hate your character so much that they start associating you with the character. My favorite, and one of the strangest comments I’ve gotten, and it’s happened quite a bit is when people say, “You need to be fired.” And I just think that’s a strange reaction to hating a character. Not, “I hate your character and that character needs to go to hell” but instead “You the actor needs to be fired.” I really don’t take it personally. "
That is brilliantly said, worded. He is not throwing shade anywhere and only handles the odd "you need to be fired" (aka you're a whore) as that's a strange reaction to hating a character.
How it's done. :cheers:

I'm telling all of you that KM bringing up having to defend herself to her mother for being called a whore when posting a picture of a sunset is a bit over the top in defense to criticism about her character. It's that simple. No smoke and mirrors, no hidden agenda.

He is not throwing shade anywhere and only handles the odd "you need to be fired" (aka you're a whore) as that's a strange reaction to hating a character. How it's done. :cheers: of course I read BB's response that is why I'm so WTF at you taking such offense to Kate's response.
What about you, Kate? Kate: I think that being indifferent to your character is sort of a death trap, so I think it’s good when people care enough to hate you or care enough to love yo. I got a lot of it with this whole EJ situation. It’s crazy. I posted a picture of a sunset once on my brother’s birthday and said “Happy Birthday” to him, and someone wrote “You whore!” and then went on about how I was destroying their fanbase. My mom was new to Instagram, and she was like “What’s going on with your life?” So I had to sort of reframe that for her. I struggle with it because on the one hand, it sucks, but we give people this access to us, so I feel like sort of a fool complaining about it. Of course people have negative opinions, and that fine. It doesn’t affect me and the way I live my life, and I don’t think it should. So more power to you if that helps you to express that.
As Lysie said they are very similar...they both say it's good that people love/hate your character, they both give examples of the drastic measures some fans have taken when it comes to real vs reel, and they both say how it how it doesn't really affect them and they don't think it should. I see no real huge difference in the BB answer over the KM answer.

I also want to say that Blake has mentioned fan criticism in his past interviews too (because much like this one he was asked about it). However, I don't see people putting the "whiny" label on him, at least not in this thread.

Fair enough. I guess I simply bristle at the idea of opinions being dismissed even if I may think they are driven by a biased agenda because that just stifles discussion. At the end of the day, pretty much every opinion could be dismissed because we are all biased fans, even if we are not shippers.
This is true. I didn't mean it like that. But you could see this one coming a mile away. I obviously have my own bias one way or another about every single actor or character too.
I can recall several instances of cringe worthy responses from actors on the show: 1st there is Peter in twitter. I haven't said anything bc true I'm not invested in him or those in his orbit. 2nd remember the guy who played Jett? He said after he was canned that a fan said that Days fired him for posing naked in a magazine and he wrote, "now I'm beginning to think they were right." Totally unprofessional, he won't be back. And then there was Austin Peck who criticized the show for centering around Sami and that anyone who wants to stick around better be involved in her s/l (throwing shade at BD I think). Unprofessional. And now here is KM, with her throwing shade at fans of the show. Not cool. I'm a fan of the show and I don't feel like "shade" was thrown at me. Of course, I've never called KM (or any other actress) a whore.
