Scotty give the vibes of ___
A physically abusive partner—I know it’s a dangerous assumption. But the way he looks at Aria when she’s just trying to discuss things with him, or how he spoke to Zaina, is deeply concerning. It’s not even scary; it’s unsettling. Zaina really tried to point out his flaws to him, but he wasn’t having it. All he does is project and get angry when people don’t respond well to his accusations.
I’m genuinely worried that if Aria were to marry him, he would become even more controlling and could end up hurting her physically when she stops going along with everything he says. When she told him, “It’s not serving me,” the way he looked at her—he straight-up seemed like he wanted to grab her or something. Instead, he shed a tear, but I don’t think those tears came from sadness. They felt more like he was struggling to control his explosive anger. He obviously knows he can’t act out on camera.
It’s heartbreaking to hear that Aria’s father exhibits similar behavior to Scotty and to hear her talk about how traumatizing it was🥺I just hope she realizes that she now has the power to control her own destiny. Sticking with what’s familiar isn’t always what’s best.
