William did not deserve Monica. Even if she plotted to be with him, William’s life and career improved dramatically when she got with him. His firm didn’t take him seriously and his relationship with the friend group was holding him back.

Right! She made the rookie mistake of assuming that because Todd was a doctor that he was automatically rich, when the real tea is that unless they COME from money, young doctors are BRRRRRROKE! 😂 They average about half a million in student loans upon graduation without specialization.

I had to get it out of my mind that Monica was not a replacement for Toni. Once I did, I grew to love her!

When we got the more relaxed, silly Monica I fell in love with her character. She was a good fit for the show in its twilight years.

I always got 1% vibes from Monica from generational wealth based and the one episode that her family dynamic was briefly shown. Her mother seemed of the hook. Her singing "It's my turn" lmao. It was refreshing to see an "old money" optic of unambiguous DSBW. If Toni evolved into new level, I felt like Monica would be well established in that level.

Monica needed her own show

Yes! Yes! To a Monica/Toni video. I think Toni respected Monica’s ambition/gold-digger hustle and vice versa. I personally think Toni &Monica would’ve been the best of Frenemies.

The only people who truly hated Monica were Lynn and Joan

Yep!

Much respect to Monica bc she is who she is. Toni wishes she was her for sure. Toni saw Dr and thought rich while Monica saw lawyer and made sure he was established

Loved Monica, though Toni was an integral part of the show and it wasn’t the same when she left, despite her and Monica’s similarities. Also, I don’t think Toni hated Monica, like stated towards the end of the video, i believe there was a mutual respect for one another. Especially after that statement “You might wanna get your resume together,” from Monica to Joan. Toni’s response cracks me up every time.

William was a CLOWN for how he treated her.

I think she’s absolutely gorgeous and her outfits were fire , you’re the first person that I saw talk about her, excited to see your channel grow and see what else you dig into

Also worth pointing out is that all of the girlfriends had weird relationships with their moms even Maya who was actually close to hers. It’s probably what they all had most in common.

Love Keesha Sharp! She was a great addition to cast.

I love Keesha Sharp and I actually really like Monica and I hated how they treated her long after their initial reservations. Till this day, Lynn’s hatred for Monica is a mystery to me. Like the Ik the initial reason was just bc Joan didn’t like her and they all agreed with her but…Lynn still hated her long after Joan started becoming friends with her. I honestly wished we could’ve seen her and Toni get along bc they were so alike and I could see a great relationship between them sorta like a Cher and Dionne or Monet and Luna from Gossip Girl 2021. Also, everytime I look at her, I see Halle Bailey in the face

I somewhat agree, but comparing Monica to Toni is unfair…People who come from money have a better understanding of it and how to wield it. I don’t know if Monica would have gone as far as Toni in life, if she came from Toni’s background. Despite coming from money, Monica still needed to plot and scheme to get a rich lawyer to take care of her…with Toni’s drive, she would have been married to a billionaire 😂

Will and joan was just wrong. Or willn lynn hooking up smh.

I like tony better. She was naturally funny.
