Donna was a shitty friend and a shitty girlfriend.

Doing a rewatch (for the trillionth time), and I’ve realised I haven’t seen people talk about this enough.

When she was kicked out of the basement, Jackie left too just to support her, even though Eric never said Jackie had to leave. Jackie also helped her start dating again during her breakup. She actually supported Donna a lot and had her back through many things. Donna on the other hand, always acted like Jackie was a burden and constantly belittled her. When Jackie’s family was splitting up, Donna didn’t even support her through it properly and literally had to have the Formans/her dad talk her into allowing Jackie to stay with them.

Then with Eric, he was always kissing her ass and doing his best to make her happy but she was just entitled most of the time in my opinion. She also got way with so much stuff that she would NEVER have allowed Eric to do. 3 examples: 1. Pretending to date Fez & kissing him just for Caroline to believe they were together. Technically cheating? lol. She would have scolded Eric if the roles were reversed. 2. Going to a wedding as a plus one with Mitch (a guy who was obviously trying to break them up so he could date her). Again, she would have scolded Eric if the roles were reversed. 3. Letting Kelso touch her ass so he could “feel better” when Brooke told him she didn’t want him to be a part of their babies life. And again, she would have SCOLDED Eric if he let another girl touch him to “make her feel better”.

Idk why everyone praises her honestly. Eric deserved better, he was a great person and boyfriend. And Jackie was actually the beautiful one, plus she actually treated people she loved properly. Their reputations are all wrong imo. Jackie has a reputation of being a “superficial bitch”, but I truly believe her superficiality is only on the outside and her “bitchiness” is only her directness. Once you get to know her, she’s loyal, supportive and loving. Donna on the hand, has the reputation of being the “girl next door” but nothing about her is sweet or simple.

What do you think?
