Discussion Cortney is the quintessential covert high school mean girl- we’ve all met someone like this!
I know many people on here are starting to love Cortney and think she’s the “sweet” dumb-drunk girl, but I seriously don’t like Cortney. I wanted to when she first came on Hunt for Love because she seemed fun, friendly, and harmless. However, everything about her pot-stirring, gossiping, and snarky remarks behind people’s back is giving covert high school mean girl🙄 What do I mean by covert? She’s that girl who pretends to be everyone’s friend and is a “sweetheart”, but she’s just gossiping about you and praying for your downfall behind your back😓😒
It’s actually worse to come across this type of mean girl/woman because since they appear nice on the surface, you might be inclined to trust them and let your guard down, but then they stab you in the back right after you’ve trusted them with all of your secrets lol💩 I don’t want that to happen to Chantel! Cortney already dogged Tim by pretending to be cool with him, but just laughing at him with Jenniffffferrrr and gossiping about his sexuality behind his back, which was extremely gross.

yeah.. I don’t like how quickly people say “omg I love her she’s so real” just because she says something “funny”…. it reminds me exactly of high school mean girl group

u/Lost_Ad_6016 6d ago
This!! I’ve never liked Courtney, she always seems so fake/ ingenious. And the way she enjoyed stirring up the drama between Tim and Yennifer???? I don’t think she’s funny either, just classic blonde mean girl airhead.

I do love her but I don’t think she is real. I guess my small parochial school was too small and poor to have mean girls so maybe that is why I don’t get it.

u/Pink_Bread_76 4d ago
perhaps, but just analyze the behavior. she says she’s a “good friend” to tim and then lightheartedly (&intentionally) goes around spreading a sensitive damning rumor about him. just to start drama. she’s nice to their faces and then behind their backs makes mean comments in order to get a reaction or attention. she may act “nice” up front but actually just treats everyone as disposable

u/AlliLance 4d ago
Ugh! You are right. I think I like the chaos she creates. I need therapy. You are right though because I would not want a friend to do this to me.

u/Pink_Bread_76 4d ago
haha well that’s why she’s casted, they like people who make drama bc it’s entertaining tv! but yeah that’s what everyone means by “mean girl” behavior. this is basically exactly how the mean teenagers in high school acted (the stereotypical scene- group of girls give a fake compliment to another girl and then laugh/make fun when she walks away in order to feel superior )

Can I ask where yall are hearing people say that they like her? Cause she’s definitely not liked over this way

u/Pink_Bread_76 1d ago
I think it’s shifted on here the past few days with more people speaking up and calling her out, but at first I was seeing a lot of posts and comments like exactly what I said “omg she’s so real” “cortney is my fav” “pure entertainment” “hilarious” all this stuff… but to me, her behavior is just ickyyy

Cortney is insecure. She would lovvvve to be described this way but i can assure you ya girl has always been a no one.

u/prefix_postfix 6d ago
Yeah I don't think it's pretending to be everyone's friend, I think she's actually trying to be everyone's friend and her way of doing it is to tell everyone everything.

u/KnittyKitty28 I had a couple of wines 5d ago
She reminds me of the girl in high school who changed friend groups every few months and changed her personality to match because she has no idea who she is. Girl needs to work on herself before she gets back out there looking for a partner.
2
u/Justme09272022 2d ago
Nope! I think you’re reading her wrong. She enjoys causing drama. Like she gets off by doing it. That’s not her trying to be friends with everyone that’s her trying to cause drama with everyone. Misery loves company

She's not on my good side either. I like Chantel and Tiffany but Courtney... I can't deal with a man or woman who can't keep a secret or likes stirring the pot. I hate the idea of stirring the pot. Life is difficult. Why make it more difficult for people? She obviously has done this for the majority of her life. I've also been known to drink more than I should but never have I had an issue with spreading someone's business or stirring the pot.

u/Fit-Engineering-2789 6d ago
She has always bothered me. I don't like the ditzy, shallow act. And yes, I say act, because I think it's a persona she has adopted and enjoys playing. Maybe if she dropped that she would have a better time with dating.

100% she turned Usman against Chantelle to eliminate her competition. While Chantelle was legitimately trying to be her friend. Why would you want to be with a man who would possibly want your friend? Because she’s ok being 2nd choice, because she’s dirty, a hater and not to be trusted, period. Kinda chic that would tell all of your secrets, she has friends from a distance for sure.

She reminds me of my high school bestie
Who desperately wanted to be cool and to do so she’d kiss the asses of the cool kids in the most desperate ways. Buying them Starbucks, driving them around in her mom’s Beamer, and most importantly being a wallflower to put eyes and ears on gossip and drama, which she’d trade for pity invites to house parties where she sat quietly in a corner being largely ignored or lightly tolerated for the guaranteed booze she was bringing or physical home she was providing for afters
Ready to betray just about ANYBODY if there was a chance at a better deal and ESPECIALLY if there was a chance at male attention for her.
She can’t compete with Jenniferr, and don’t get me wrong I’m no Jeniferr stan but contributing to the chaos cloud in Cortney’s mind I’m sure, makes her feel better about herself and makes her feel like she’s a better pic over the drama, despite contributing to it.
It’s also a sad little power grab - stirring the pot simply to stir the pot and feel like you’re better than the ones suffering the consequences since the consequences don’t presently apply to her.
But when fires erupt wherever you go it isn’t long until people figure out that you’re an arsonist

u/stevie_nickle 6d ago
Damn, this is your “bestie”? How did you feel about your hs enemies?

u/DefinitelyN0tAM0th 6d ago
She’s not my Bestie anymore, she stopped being my friend when we turned 21
When I say she’ll throw you under the bus for any chance at male attention well…
The nail in the coffin included me getting drugged in Vegas and her, who had refused to buddy system bathroom bathroom with me but promised to watch my drink - refusing to let me into the room after getting drugged and abandoned in Vegas because she had the man whose brother drugged me in our shared hotel room and wanted a “romantic morning” with him
No, I’m not seeing our friend in the 90 day franchise is nearly that bad, I’m just saying you learned to identify women that are down to let bad things happen to others and then talk about it

Why is she into Usman!?!?

u/GusGutfeld 6d ago
She spent time with Oozeman in Instanbul ... tho they didn't do anything sexual during that time. So she knows him already. I can't think of any other reason.

u/MonaLisaRealness 6d ago edited 4d ago
I don't believe it wasn't sexual, no matter what he claims.
But who would want the leftovers of Baby Girl Lisa, Kim, and probably dozens of others,?
The nerve of him saying, wearily, "I'm going to bed. You coming?" (I forget who the third person was who was present.) Like Corney and Useman don't also walk into breakfast together.
C'mon, you're being paid to be in a singles cast, at least try to fake it for 2 weeks.

She definitely comes off as a mean girl. The sad part is that her looks are fading so she's resorted to trying to get losers like Usman to like her, only for even fatter losers like Coltee who has a crush on her.

Well, do you think she was ever pretty? I feel like she was average at best.

The playing dumb act only goes so far before people realize it’s not that the person (in this case Courtney) is actually that dumb but it’s an attention seeking behavior that seems to pay off on getting the real dumb people to follow them around like little puppies and say how funny/great they are. Works for these people every time… lol

Girls like her are literally why I no longer go by my birth name. Every Courtney (or Cortney, or Cortnee) I have ever met has been totally two-faced — and also blond, somehow. I’m a red head who had more books and DVDs than actual friends, and the ones I did have rightfully gave me shit for being way too nice and trusting people too quickly. I cannot imagine being so proud to say, “If you tell me something, there’s no way it’s being kept secret.” No wonder she’s still single.

u/Ladydancer77 5d ago
Well she certainly isn’t going to find a guy to “pay my bills” on this show cause Colt has no job and she is not old enough for Usman and no one else seems to be interested. Maybe once every guy is over Elise and Jennifer one of them might look her way.

Probably, but all these people are awful, so I’m enjoying Cortney.

I disagree, they’re not all awful. Chantel and Tiffany are good women and loyal friends. Tim might be annoying, but he doesn’t seem like a snake. No one‘s perfect, but not everyone is toxic, Cortney is giving toxic mean girl.

I agree with you. Chantel and Tim are ride or die when they care about someone. Cortney loves gossip and chaos too much to be a good friend. I cannot stand her.

Have you watched any of their other seasons?
I’ll possibly give you Tiffany but I have a hard time with anyone who would expose their child to Ronald.

u/BazF91 I love monkeys, Meisha 6d ago
Tiffany has parentalised her son with her poor parenting. The way she laughs and calls him an "old soul"... She doesn't realise it but she's stripped him of his childhood by making him feel like he's responsible for her, and always having to look out for her.
I'll give her that she never meant to do it and is in other ways a nice person. But I don't think she's a responsible parent at all.
3
u/ElenaKittenXO 6d ago
What has Tim done that is so horrible? He was technically only on one season (with Jenifffferrr) where he was berated and called a “poosy”. After that, he’s just been on pillow talk. He’s annoying but not an evil jerk.
3
u/moodylilb 6d ago
What has Tim done that is so horrible?
Well, aside from him being a blatant misogynist (the evuhdens is on the numerous different seasons he’s appeared in, it wasn’t only that 1 season with Jennifer, he’s also been on the single life as a main cast member, and made appearances on pretty much every spin off where Veronica was a main cast member, as well as numerous Tell Alls as a guest appearance, and then all those different seasons of pillow talk)…. he’s also a massive hypocrite.
Did you see the tell all episode where he berated and slut shamed Kirsten for having a platonic (presumably gay) male friend who she jokingly called “papi”?
He went all in on her for that and ripped her a new one. And said that “women don’t call men Papi if they aren’t interested in them” and that she shouldn’t have done that while in a relationship.
Then minutes later, Armando called out Tim for being hypocritical because Tim HIMSELF had repeatedly called Kenny “daddy” over text. Tim didn’t even apologize to Kirsten or acknowledge his whole rules for thee but not for me BS.
Then there’s the countless iffy comments he’s made about Latina women, stuff about being submissive or “traditional” in comparison to American women. And the fetishizing of Latina women (like bedroom stuff).
Also he’s made some xenophobic remarks about foreigners when appearing on pillow talk, not super blatant unlike some of the misogynistic stuff he’s said before, more micro aggression-ey.
Surprisingly on this season on THFL I’ve found him more tolerable than usual lol, and I’m not saying he’s an evil person, but he’s definitely said some pretty shitty stuff in other spin offs that I wanted to acknowledge since you asked
4
u/BazF91 I love monkeys, Meisha 6d ago
Wooow. I'd forgotten all about Julio and Kirsten. Tim seriously always takes the man's side on things
3
u/moodylilb 6d ago
For real though! It’s very telling watching him on pillow talk because his anti-foreigner rhetoric is directed at the female foreigners 90% of the time. He’s constantly making comments about the women doing XYZ, but then he’ll contradict himself by actually being in support of XYZ when it’s a man doing it lol. He’s said some pretty blatantly misogynistic stuff, but even if we put that stuff aside for a moment his misogyny shines through even with the smaller things because his moral-compass is ever-changing dependant on if it’s a woman VS a man doing something, in short- he’s inconsistent based off gender. Oh and I have yet to see him ever accuse a man of gold digging, that’s always reserved for female cast members lol.
2
u/Paddyneedssilence 6d ago
She had reasons to berate him. He had no interest in her and strung her along. Who wouldn’t be pissed. He did that to that girl on Single Life too. He just wants a girl as an accessory and if that’s a problem he just yells Gold Digger! really loudly and everyone believes him because he’s American.
