I hope nobody takes this the wrong way and will instead understand what I’m getting at here but just a quick vent:
Something that has absolutely rubbed me the wrong way is/was Olivia’s approach to her ‘super rare cancer’ in her arm that she wouldn’t even get removed due to aesthetic reasons and so on. Yet, she was always bringing it up and of course in return received a truck load of attention and sympathy online. I’ve seen so many tweets & comments on her TikTok’s along the lines of ‘so happy the cancer didn’t get you!!’ (to which I’ve seen her reply ‘same lol’), ‘Can’t believe Olivia Neill has cancer omg life is so unfair I acc don’t know what I’d do if she dies’ and so on.
Yet ever since she first announced, she’s been partying away, drinking, likely taking drugs on nights out, constantly body checking, attending events and almost weaponising her ‘suuuper rare cancer !!’ almost as if it’s some sort of quirky glamourised personality trait. After witnessing the true horrors of a parent, best friend and grandparent all dying from cancer, seeing the way she acted felt incredibly icky to me. It was really difficult to see the contrast between Olivia and a handful of other girls in their 20s who were actually bed bound, going through multiple surgeries, fighting for their lives whilst trying their best to raise awareness for cancer on tiktok. Sadly all of those girls have now since passed away and meanwhile Olivia was off partying on holiday and choosing not to bother get her one effing surgery to remove the cancer.
Again, I just needed to vent my frustration at her, I really dislike the sort of person she is and I can’t understand why so many people defend her till the cows come home when time after time she’s shown her true nasty self absorbed narcissist colours. The girl needs a slap of reality, she has yet to face any real hardship or life altering experiences and no a breakup or fling ending does not count. Sigh.
