We don’t know yet if they have scenes together, and even if they don’t, it doesn’t mean they didn’t meet. Didn’t he tweet about being on set with her or am I confusing him with another member of the cast? Anyway, he tweeted last night about her being amazing, so I guess he knows her work.
I think Orlando Jones knows more about Gillian in private than all of us reunited know and will ever know, so just for that, I think he deserves our respect.
As about David, do we even know with whom he hangs out? I mean, there was a picture of him last Halloween at a party with Amy Shumer. Did you even know they were friends? Their lack of public interaction isn’t an argument to prove their lack of personal interaction. This goes for David and Orlando Jones and for David and Gillian, by the way.
I also wanted to say that it’s sick that PM fans are bullying OJ for shipping Gillovny. How’s that worse than doing manips and tagging Gillian in all that bullshit? I admit, at first it was funny, now it’s just sick. I’m not on either side but I just can’t look at it anymore. Wanna ship Gillian with PM? Fine, do it. You’ve got every right to do it as other people can ship Gillovny. OJ chose to ship Gillovny, he makes funny tweets. How’s that worse than doing manips of PM and GA together?

Totally agree, anon. (Except I think they’re together, but you know that already 😏)
I think he doesn’t really know what’s going on between them, but I think he smells the fuckery like the rest of us, and probably more. Maybe he has witnessed things that drove him crazy. But in any case I think he’d do that if he knew one of them was in a serious relationship with someone else.
He’s not a basic fan, he knows them, so I don’t think he would go there if he thought it could hurt someone.
The fun thing is that I was talking about that with @sembell just now, and she reminded me that Gillian herself was shipping Gillovny wearing a Schmoopie shirt on stage while supposedly being in deep love with Peter Morgan, but no one blame her for being disrespectful to him, right?
We all think Orlando Jones is the biggest Gillovny shipper, but maybe he’s just the tree hiding the forest.
I agree with your reasoning, anon! He knows both Gillian and David privately, has worked with them and with Gillian recently, if she was in a serious relationship with someone, he’d know and if he she didn’t tell him, he would know it from Twitter anyway. So if he thinks it’s okay to ship her with David so hard, I think it’s because he knows he can and he knows he’s not hurting anyone.
Imagine Gillian and David at a dinner party with close friends, sitting in the garden by night in soft light side by side on a comfortable, cushioned bench. Davids arm is draped over her bare shoulder and his thumb draws little circles on the soft skin of her arm while she laughs heartily at one of Orlandos jokes. David’s so comfortable around these people, he occasionally leans over and kisses her sun-kissed cheeks, earning lovely, affectionate smiles from her. As Nancy brings the desserts, she isn’t sure which one she wants to try, so he takes the opposite of what she has, and she ends up eating both, because she loves dessert, and he loves watching her enjoy herself. When they lit a bonfire on the beach later that night, he pulls her into his lap and catches Orlando’s genuine smile in the corner of his eyes. He’s so happy, and the people who love him are entitled to know.
Bringing this back because Orlando Jones has obviously witnessed things…
