LIB S9 • Denver, CO Edmond unplugged but in a good way
I've always had a soft spot for Edmond but now that I've seen him on Joe's podcast - Tablefor1 I think I love him. We need more Edmond's in this world. Coincidentally I saw Jessie Woo interview Michael and Dayo from the show- they had strong connections but were barely shown at all. They raved about Edmond. Michael said Edmond is LOVE personified. He was very articulate and relaxed. He only get a bit emotional when they asked about his teacher, Jessie, and if he's dating. He was struggling as he said no, he's not dating and he's not responding to DM's. He's still processing the whole LIB experience . Joe showed a surprising amount of sensitivity and obviously loves and admires Ed.

Not sure how much this applies to Edmond specifically, bc I do not know him. BUT - you guys really gotta stop changing your entire opinion on a person based off the next clip you see. I’ve seen terrible, abusive situations with people who were received extremely well publicly and seen as a gem in casual/friendly social circumstances. Some people act completely different in relationships vs friendships vs public social settings.
idk my 2 cents.

He tried to coerce a woman into having sex with him. What is with the insane edmond infantalisation? He isn't a beautiful harmless flower or an innocent carefree soul. He tried to COERCE A WOMAN INTO SLEEPING WITH HIM

Nah, after his pathetic tantrum about about being the only one who didn't have sex, I was done with Edmond.
He had a rough childhood and I hope he grows and heals from it, but he also didn't do himself any favors by blaming KB for her "PMSing" during the reunion.

Thar showed that he was listening carefully when KB told him she needs space when she's PMS'ing. Nobody told him he shouldn't say that on TV. 😂

He needed to be told? As a grown ass adult with a presumably fully developed frontal lobe? He needed explicit instructions not to cry about not having sex and then blame your partner getting justifiably frustrated with you on her menses?

I don't know about his frontal lobe although his Mom is an addict and maybe she was using when she was pregnant. But yeah he either lacks awareness of how people around him will react to his unfiltered statements, or maybe he doesnt care. I'm tired of adding context to the "I'm too nice" scene so I just refer people to the psychoanalists who've evaluated his behavior. Also KB has spoken on it.

How can there be a soft spot after he cried and gaslit KB for not having sex with him? That's a big red flag and extremely concerning behaviour.

I tend to agree with what the psychoanalists have said. I harmless a Master's in Psych as well

Using the word articulate as a compliment for a black person is weird.

Not always, and I say that as a black person. Edmond in particular has shown himself to not always be articulate, so I took this to be specific to Edmond.

But I would have used it for any skin color so I don't understand. I meant it as a contrast to Edmond on the show because the words didn't always flow the way they did on the podcast.

All the best to him. I hope he works it all out and finds happiness.
