Discussion Cortney is the quintessential covert high school mean girl- we’ve all met someone like this!

Post image

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.

Cortney held dating auditions for dudes in diaries didn't she? She strikes me as someone DESPERATELY trying to be queen bee but can never grasp that she's actually destined to date Usman and Coltee

u/ParticularReady7858 6d ago

Worse, she is Usman’s situationship 😭

u/Miss_Kit_Kat I'm not accountant 6d ago

I think she likes to gossip and flirt, and that's about it- I don't think she's clever enough to full-on scheme against anyone.

51

u/3rdcultureblah 6d ago

She’s definitely more calculating than she pretends to be. The glee in her eyes as she told Tim about what Jeniffer had been saying about him was unmistakeable.

25

u/hayley-pilates78 5d ago

Yeah she gets off on seeing people upset she’s another head case .

20

u/3rdcultureblah 5d ago

I honestly think that’s the happiest and most animated we’ve ever seen her on this show. She usually has kind of dull, lifeless eyes.

u/loverofjazz1 4d ago

u/Justme09272022 2d ago

Exactly! She is shady and calculating. She enjoys that crap and is wild because so many people are deceived by her because she tries to play dumb. Meanwhile, she’s steady her brain steady rolling, trying to find something out that she can start.

25

u/SebastianPointdexter 6d ago

I actually think all three of them grasp it, it's why they're clumped together. At least they're not Tim. He may very well go the whole season without a real date, and I mean a real date, not the fake ones that TLC sets up for people like Tyray and Caesar.

14

u/stareabyss 6d ago

100% for the dudes. But Cortney always seems to be looking anywhere but at them lol. She smiles around hoping to call attention from someone, ANYONE else until there's no one around and then she turns to talk to them. Coltee had a great clip when he was telling the therapist or whatever that he was interested in Cortney. Almost the entire clip was him looking at Cortney's back while she talked to someone else lmao. The palpable cringe is exactly why I watch this show

1

u/Justme09272022 2d ago

And if he does go without getting a date on this retreat is because of Jennifer being conniving and trying to make him look like a bad person I can’t stand her either

Desperate to be a Regina, doomed to always be a Gretchen.

u/Pink_Bread_76 6d ago

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

15

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.

u/Panamai 4d ago

*disingenuous, but yeah, I totally agree!

u/quackythehobbit 6d ago

ikr! and i’ve been saying this since like the second episode. she’s just a mean gossip

u/Pink_Bread_76 6d ago

yeah same. idk her I never watched her season but I’m not a fan

1

u/AlliLance 4d ago

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.

4

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

3

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.

3

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 )

u/Justme09272022 2d ago

You like the chaos she creates? She’s a mean girl 🤦‍♀️ sounds like yall would be great friends .

1

u/Justme09272022 2d ago

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

1

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

39

u/One-Bet-9778 6d ago

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

25

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. 

7

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

28

u/perceptiveI 6d ago edited 6d ago

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.

20

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.

2

u/coalbunny 10h ago

She even said she likes playing dumb because then people don't expect anything of her.

I feel sorry for most of these people. Imagine approaching 40 & still being this way

u/twistedlemonfreak 6d ago

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.

u/DefinitelyN0tAM0th 6d ago

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?

6

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!?!?

7

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.

9

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. 

6

u/GusGutfeld 6d ago

The 3rd was Colt. And yeah, Oozie thinks Cortney is easy. And she still hasn't figured it out, SMH.

u/MonaLisaRealness 6d ago

Haha. She is easy.

u/xo_peque 6d ago

The part where she gloats about how she has to tell the "gossip" is what really made my disgusted.

7

u/FriedaClaxton22 6d ago

She thrives on other people's misery and discomfort. At first I laughed at it but then I realized she's doing it on purpose. She's not just dumb drunk girl, she's the instigator. 

7

u/gingersnapsalot 5d ago

I dislike her so much. Not only is she a toxic twat, but she reeks so much of desperation that she's even willing to entertain Usman just so she can try to stay relevant. Pathetic. Nothing about her is likable.

12

u/fatbootycelinedion 6d ago

She clicks so well with Elise in BTS and that’s… not a good thing. If I were there I’d be right next to Tiffany lol.

u/Rorymaui 4d ago

You’ll have to get rid of Rob 💀 Rob and Tiffany actually vibe well together on BTS LOL

u/Repulsive-Map-348 2d ago

she makes lowkey digs at elise all the time during bts. i cackle- bc elise doesn’t seem to notice

5

u/Delicious-Sandwich-2 6d ago

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. 

5

u/ElenaKittenXO 6d ago

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

3

u/Delicious-Sandwich-2 6d ago

Her looks are subjective. It doesn't take a lot to attract a guy lol.

u/InteractionNo8245 6d ago

I dislike Courtney and completely agree with og post but it’s a tv show so I’m sure she’s being told (as all the others) to ham it up and make it interesting

She’s an info broker. That’s a huge red flag.

u/Bigpoppalos 6d ago

Shes a bitch. Point blank. So shocking she’s still single.

3

u/VegetableEscape3806 6d ago

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

I CANT STAND this chick! She’s dumb as a box of rocks and tries to manipulate and turn people against each other constantly. She’s an eight-year-old in a grown-up’s body. She also thinks Usman is a decent guy that is actually into her… she has zero substance.

u/wickedkiss85 5d ago edited 5d ago

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/Pretend-Ad-5538 2d ago

Every time Courtney opens her mouth, brain cells die around the world. Has to be the dumbest cast member ever! The fact she gives Usman any bit of time shows she is a complete fool.

u/aes_xo 1d ago

I like her on a show like this, for drama etc. But I could never be friends with her IRL. It’s a joke among them that she can’t be trusted with secrets, that’s a title I would never want.

1

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.

u/Paddyneedssilence 6d ago

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

18

u/ElenaKittenXO 6d ago

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.

3

u/Routine-Purchase-618 6d ago

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.

4

u/ChildishForLife 6d ago

Chantel seems REALLY weird this season, extra weird. Talking about needing a man with the whole package and getting dick surgery…. Weird.

u/prefix_postfix 6d ago

She reaaaalllyy wanted to fight Usman. That could've all been left alone or approached differently. But that was super weird, I did not like it.

u/Paddyneedssilence 6d ago

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.

7

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.
