FAN: You are not friend[s] anymore with Candice?
JOAN: I’m not friends with backstabbers

Another comment read:

JOAN: There is no girl code with some people. And the disrespect and carelessness in how they treat you is so unimaginable. There’s no going back. Some people lack humility and moral compass. And the way they gaslight, lie and minimize your feelings is the worst slap in the face after 15 [years of] friendship. Not a sorry said or written. Onwards and upwards!!!
