I am still convinced this is entirely on Filian going from Olivia to Shondo because that is simply what she does as a collab hustling clip bait farmer.
>Olivia then vouched for her because "if they're a friend of Oli's I trust them" kicked in and Shondo wanted to give her a second chance giving her the benefit of the doubt.
>Now cut to the Portal stream, Shondo then realizes just how bad the hate for has become but it triggers her emotionally because she was genuinely wanting to give Filian a second chance.
>Add the family stuff earlier before stream started and the reaction is understandable.
>Shondo then realizes the only way to make this right is to give us Saturday and think about our side more.
>Cut to today, she has clearly thought of how we feel more and wanted to hear us out more while in a better headspace for it and even acknowledged Filian's reputation.
So: I think we're at a point that Shondo just needs to see how the collab goes before she makes her mind up about her. But you can tell from her words today that even her reasons for defending her are at best a "trust me guys, she's nice in DMs".
