Predictable, but I'm sure Sam's also just getting amped based off everything she's reading.Someone in Pegz's thread predicted Sam would go with the line of Belinda giving them too much merc5handise to handle and here she is giving that exact line....predictable or did she take inspiration from that comment?
Folks getting overwhelmed by too many well meaning orders is not uncommon. Small businesses with physical shipping are not easy to run at the best of times, let alone during a rush.
I don't think Belinda had ill intent with the fundraising streams, but I do think doing them was a bad choice for her.
Belinda isn't especially close with Yaba, so even asking to do the charity stream could be considered bad taste. It's hard to get a 100% yes when the person you are asking is going through a messy grieving process with her kids that's playing out online and has cops involved. And if Yaba said yes and then regretted it, it's hard to walk that back.
Of course if everyone had acted like an adult, any conflict here could have been solved via DMs. But alas, content must be made!
Edit to add clarity:
The above is not meant to be a defense of Yaba and Sam's behavior nor offense to Belinda.
Yaba and Sam are clearly using the fundraising streams as ammo because Sam is ass mangled about Belinda interviewing Zeith. It's simply convenient that perceptions about the fundraising streams can be manipulated by Sam and Yaba to give them more reason to turn on Belinda.
Belinda seems quite kind and tried her best to support folks she saw as being in need, but the fundraising streams were likely to blow up in her face because she stuck her neck out for folks ready to knife her the moment it suited them.
