  • Ryan's marriage turns into this. She's been married to Stewart for over 10 years, and yet Stewart constantly betrays her trust and vows by constantly cheating on her with different women. What makes it worse is that Ryan wants to stay around to protect their image they are trying to convey to their fans. She's so worried she would let everybody down should they know what is really going on in their marriage. At the end, Ryan finally drops her facade, realizes her worth, and ends up going with Julian, an old college friend of hers.
  • When Stewart is revealed to have impregnated Symone, an Instagram model, Ryan and her friends don't take it well at all. Ryan even reveals that she has fertility issues and attempted to conceive many times, and she's shown to be very hurt at the fact that Symone (the mistress) was able to have Stewart's baby.
  • After the Flosse Posse's argument, Dina is shown to be hurt at the possibility of her not being friends with the other girls anymore, but she's trying to act like she isn't.
    Dina: I hate y'all! And I love you, but I hate you, bitch!
  • Ryan's speech at the end certainly counts, when she finally takes the advice of her friends and stops living a lie. She preaches about how it's okay to be alone, and to never allow yourself to be treated as less than who you are. She regains her worth at the end, while dumping her cheating husband for good.
