People is now writing now on tumblr about Ga; double standards / « Follow your dreams, not your boyfriends’ / Keep ignoring us, keep not saying shit about what the fuck you’re doing. Let’s forget att without us you would not be there. – It’s a mess. People should of course not attack her and her choices. But she lives in public because of her job as she has chosen. I can not help thinking that people are right .. Am I a bad person? because I I think they are right??

I don’t think you’re a bad person and I have an inbox full of people who are angry and confused.

I don’t think many people know, or are aware, that contracts almost always include clauses that state certain aspects or entire things, for that matter, can’t be commented on in public and can’t be discussed.  In order to override that, there would need to be a release clause granted.  The only people who can issue one is the person holding the contract.  If they refuse, there’s nothing that you can do.  You’re bound to it.  

So, because I believe this is nothing more than a professional arrangement (and the more we see of Gillian and PM the more that becomes apparent), and I know this answer will get me an inbox full of hate, I’m not going to change my stance from what I know, without any doubt, to be true.  This is how contracts work and this is how professional arrangements are made.  Now before I’m misunderstood, I’m not saying this is a showmance.  Not at all.  There’s nothing romance or show about it.  This is something else entirely and so many things show that, prove that and continue to reinforce it.

So while fans are understandably upset that Gillian isn’t making a statement, the reality is, she may be unable to (either at all or for the time being) and she’s also stubborn.  We know that.  Yes, this is a mess and yes, there should be some sort of damage control started to salvage what’s salvageable.  I still think that. But if there’s no release (or her PR isn’t seeking one), then they’re going to have to go another route.

Right now, there are going to be two ways to get around this: interviews for her book will be coming up and it’ll be the perfect time for her to say she’s single or debunk the PM rumour in some other way (because she’s commented on things months after the fact previously and she does it well, when fans are least expecting it), OR once season 11 happens, and I fully believe it will, she and David will show with their interaction that there is no other man.  

But for some people, they’ll always see only what they want to see.  So even when we had Gillian and David being openly close to one another, and even when denying relationships is a fact of celebrity life, there seemed to be little thought or consideration given to these things.

So no, you aren’t a bad fan for feeling what you feel.  But at least you’re thinking about it and talking about it.  You’re trying to understand it.  I fully respect anyone who is trying to do that even if they’re confused and feeling hurt.  

And that’s far more than can be said for the portion of the fandom that’s busy posturing, but without any knowledge, and policing others.

I love your answers a lot, girl!
