This is also a career she's spent years working to build, and now that it's finally taken off it's threatened by her becoming unhirable if she is open about her co-star abusing her. She will only be known for and recognized for a 'scandal' and nobody will hire her if they think she pressed charges against him for what could be interpreted as accidental excessive force during acting. It's cruel, and it's unfair, but it's how the industry infamously is. Bojack wants to do what he thinks is the right thing, but he also wants to do what is best for Gina, his victim. And what she wants for what is best for her and her career contradicts what would bring justice to her and force BJ to face consequences. Love this show.

The series end was heartening. It looks like Kelsey Jannings manages to get Gina to star in her feminist superhero movie, based on a one-off background sight gag. Given that it looked like Gina's trauma was going to be an obstacle to her working, it seems like it took somebody like Jannings to understand why Gina had these issues on set, and be willing to work around them.

this scene hurts SO much more when you watch season six and see how badly this affects her life, and that staying quiet actually hurts her career in the long run. her desperation to just get over it is relatable to so many victims out there who just want to carry on with their lives.

The way I see it, is that Beatrice was a character which everyone hated, until season 4, when gave her a backstory. It doesn't justify what she was like to Bojack but for many, it seems to have helped them understand her and feel sympathetic for her. I see the same thing happening for Bojack, here. We've seen just how much shit, he's been through and it's tough to just turn on him and proclaim that he is pure evil or something. Especially considering his current drug problem and much much more. I think one of the messages of season 5, is that we shouldn't be so judgemental of others who have a checkered past because that is how people are. Diane and Bojack fighting after the Philbert party speaks volumes to that. Each has made massive "oopsies", to say the least but roasts eachother for them. I just find it tough, if not slightly hypocritical towards the writers, to make us try and sympathise with Beatrice (which was the whole point of her backstory, really) and to then want us to shake our heads at Bojack for being shitty, despite an arguably comparable upbringing.

This reminds me so much of when Melissa Benoist was abused and then went on Jimmy Fallon joking and lying about how her eye was injured.

The funny thing is, earlier in the series, Bojack made a huge deal about not choking women. Like specifically saying it’s wrong to do the action of choking, (not hitting, slapping, shoving, or grabbing, you know, domestic abuse situations that are probably much more common than choking) specifically against women, yet he does this exact things himself. I’d really like to think this is intentional but I’m not too sure since Bojack’s statement was about choking, and the show describes the Gina situation as “strangling”. I know the two words are synonyms, but it makes this series of events feel coincidental instead of intentional.

Similar to how in season 2’s episode “Hank after dark” Diane goes after Hank Hippolpopalus for sexual misconduct and BoJack supports her in doing so - but later in the season the incident with Penny happens. Early in season three BoJack condemned Sarah Lynn for only going sober to get a great high later on - and the he’s the one who breaks her sobriety by the end of the season. The penultimate episodes tend to go against something BoJack previously stood for in the season. The show is amazing at subversion.

Here he doesn't expect forgiveness at all, he just wants to do the right thing and accept the consequences.

The inner workings of ______, The mind of a _______ etc etc. And just completely ignoring the victims or screwing them over. Gina knows that if she speaks out she will just be an interview piece in an "the inner workings of Bojack" article and that her career will circle around how much of a victim she was.

But has ptsd

Even though BoJack is a shitty person and it's a good thing that he finally got what he deserved in Season 6, I still can't help but respect him here in this clip. This is the one rare time that he doesn't just simply feel bad about what he did, and instead did genuinely want to come clean about what he did to Gina . You can tell that he knew she deserved justice and wanted to give it to her. But alas, he also recognized that ousting himself would make Gina only famous because of him and his assault instead of because of her talents and skills. He didn't want her to be only known as another checked box on BoJack's laundry list of victims he hurt, so it left him in a tough spot.

I like the follow up to this in the final season where they show that, even though she refused to speak out about it, it still affected her career because she was traumatized by the event, was never able to get help for it, and can't explain her PTSD to other people.

It’s amazingly fucked up how Bojack covering up HIS assault is him doing Gina a favor, something she herself is begging him for. So twisted and somehow feels so real.

Stephanie Beatriz is superb in this scene. The pain in her voice

Bojack wants to talk about it because he needs to feel less guilty Not because he is actually sorry for Gina

What makes this whole thing even worse is that a few episodes earlier, Bojack had gone to Gina's house (looking for his drugs) after she had ended their relationship, and accidentally reignited it again. Gina had said how she had gone though literally dozens of co-stars, and none of them had tried to stay with her after the show ended . So, Bojack was the first relationship Gina truly cared about and was invested in. She cared about him in a way she hadn't with anyone else. And then she saw the true, real side of him. In an instant Bojack, even if not intentionally, betrayed and destroyed that trust and scarred her for life.

2:08 Awkwardness level: Gina & Bojack

This is painful. It's so hard to see that he deeply regrets what he did and he wants to own it and finally be held responsible for a reason that isn't selfish or to his benefit. But the one time that opportunity comes to him, he can't take it. The end of season 5 is truly gutting.

Yeah, it's all not right.

With Gina it's very straightforward what's happening here but with Bojack I love how there are many layers to what he's doing. Did he want to confess to take responsibility or out of guilt? Did he go along with Gina because she thinks that's the right thing to do or because it's an excuse to dodge responsibility? I imagine that if Gina is more successful she would be more comfortable speaking out which is how I thought what would happen but seeing as the trauma is actually impacting her success she might just actual speak out about it or maybe Bojack will be the one to speak out about it despite going against Gina's wishes when he sees the trauma he caused.

God it’s so awful. You can’t really side with Gina here, but you ESPECIALLY don’t want to side with Bojack, either. But at the same time, you can’t really blame Gina for wanting to silence this whole thing, even thought the right thing to do would be to go to the police. She knows that’s the right thing to do, but it would cost her her credibility and career. Honestly, I don’t know what I would do in that position. If it meant being truthful or keeping my hard-earned career, it’s a tough choice. I can only sit here and imagine the hundreds of actors/actresses going through this exact bullshit.

By keeping quiet, she’s only perpetuating this endless cycle of abuse in the movie industry and not calling out assholes like Bojack for taking advantage of others. I know Bojack didn’t mean to do it either, he was under the influence, but it was still 100% his fault and he SHOULD have been held accountable. But instead, he ended up scott free and Gina helped make sure of that. Again, I understand it’s a complex situation, and I know that Gina was just afraid. But it still wasn’t right.

It's a good commentary on victim culture. It seems to be the stylish thing now to be a victim. But real victims, true victims like Gina, abhor the idea of making their story public because there is a stigma that comes with it. You can dress it up as much as you want, say they're survivors or fighters, but at the end of the day, they're just other terms for victim and Gina knows that's all people will see her as. She'd just be the girl that got strangled by Bojack Horseman, forever tied to the name of her attacker. So no, I don't blame her for not going public. If she did, she wouldn't be able to move on because everyone would bring it up.

Biscuit knowingly paints over the sins of famous people for relevancy and access. She only switches gear when she realizes doing so won't be financially profitable for much longer.

​@faded9581 as much as I love how Biscuits went right after Bojack, she should've done so from the start rather than feel pressured from a woman who wanted to profit off from the scandals Bojack caused. It cheapened what Gina, Penny and Sarah Lynn suffered through by not going for the head straight away. Paige didn't really care for the victims, she just wanted to profit off from them.

Lots of Bojack apologists timidly tossing out their disapproving replies in the comments lol

Him wanting to confess shows that BoJack isn't really an evil person. He's a bad person, certainly, and it shows that you can still be bad without being evil.

Gina's character is so sad on the series on hindsight, im glad that she got to see Bojack in jail, it may have not solved his problems, but is a start for her and i wish they would had added a scene when she comes forward to what she went through with him, what hurts the most is that we never get to see her overcome the trauma ether, her last scene is her hitting her head because his new co-star grabbed her neck slightly, and she end up looking like the asshole diva because she cant talk or explain why she is so upset, she really deserved better

In the finale, there's a quick scene where's she's on the billboard of an upcoming superhero movie (the one Kelsey Jannings was directing and had considered Gina for), so things were looking up for her.

Honestly I really don't know how I feel about Bojack anymore; like, we know the character is good but when it comes down to it, he strangled his costar while high on pills. That is fucked up and if it was a real celebrity who did something like that, I doubt I'd feel much sympathy for the guy. However, in terms of the shows quality, I love this moral ambiguity in it all.

The way that so many people in this comment section are fully writing off a SA because the perpetrator was under the influence is insane but not at all surprising, just because he was under the influence doesn’t mean that he’s suddenly possessed, it just happens that he was on something when he decided to assault someone. These comments are very telling of peoples options on SA and the victims of said assault; when they happen to like or sympathize with the perpetrator.

​@@Choosafunga777I think they mean that he should still be held accountable for his bad actions

This was so hard to watch. You can see just how unbearable this was for Bojack, and for once he seemed to truly feel 100% responsible for his actions. No legal age of consent justification, or deep rooted result of his upbringing, nothing he would usually throw out to try to convince himself he wasn't solely responsible. He wants to own it. Partly, I think it's because he's in so much pain and self loathing, that he doesn't care what the hell kind of blowback he gets. But also, I believe he wants to finally be held accountable for his shitty actions, which might force him to actually change. Weirdly enough, this does become the incident that ultimately leads him to finally take a legitimate step towards changing (rehab). Besides, I knew he wouldn't be with Gina by the end. The only person I can ever see him being with is Diane. Knowing these creators, that will never happen. But, a huge part of me wants both of them to leave Hollywoo behind together and get the happy ending they've always wanted. They're the only person that understands the other, and she's the reason he finally was able to go to rehab. Alas, I'm 99% sure that rehab is going to end in tragedy and anguish like it always seems to, but I feel that this suffering needs to end before this show overdoes it.

Bojack and Diane being together would be good for Bojack, and bad for Diane. Diane is no saint, but she has enough of a self-preservation instinct to see this clearly, even if she cares for him. It's kindof why I think Ana Spanakopita was the best and most overlooked character. Sure, she's a bit cold. But Spanakopita has the clearest head out of all of them and saw Bojack for exactly what he is a mile away.

@@EV-wp1fj I think that Bojack would have to provably change before I would agree with Diane making that decision. She'd be a masochist to date him as he has been, and after what she has gone through. I know that them getting together would be the cliche ending, but after eveything they have both experienced, it would be mighty satisfying if the show's creators wanted to finally give us an escape from the saddness and mancholy that this show (and its characters) consists so much of. I highly doubt they will end it like that though. They're not afraid to take risks to make their show a more mature and realistic depiction of, well, adult life (as well as Hollywood culture and deep rooted depressive behavior) for lack of a better term.

At the end of it all, Bojack is really alone. Save for Diane, but, truthfully, I want Bojack to finally change for the better and start over, keeping everything he has learned.

Well... He is in prison now.

I really hate how the one time Bojack actually shows interest in making himself responsible for his actions, risking to throw away everything he has, he is implored by his victim not to do it. God I love this show. I'm thankful still that he did eventually took responsibility for his actions by the other interview, even if it wasn't on his terms.

Gina not hesitating to go for that kiss, despite everything, is the manliest part of the interview. It's a display of so much determination that even Bojack shrivels in its wake. The absolute balls on the woman.

It hurts so much. I find this scene devastating

I’m sure the new BoJack now would want us to feel bad for his victims more than him

to be real if I were on that many drugs and my set and home were identical I'd probably fuck up where I was too... strangling however

He wouldn't be in jail lol. He would either be charged a fine for the pshycological damages caused to her or be forced to seek help with his trauma

I love biscuits so much omg. Shes amazing at picking up little things and subtly trying to pull forth the worst parts of these celebs. In a real life person this trait is terrifying but i respect it. Takes balls.
