“The way he just started trauma dumping 😭😭😭”
This article contains spoilers for Season 3 of Ginny & Georgia.
The much-anticipated third season of Ginny & Georgia hit our screens earlier this month, and there was one major storyline that left a whole load of fans pretty upset.
As you may know, in the very first episode of the Netflix series, Georgia met Mayor Paul Randolph, played by Scott Porter, who she eventually married in the Season 2 finale.
However, by Episode 7 of Season 3, Paul had called time on their romance after Georgia cheated on him and discovered that she is pregnant — and people have had a lot of feelings about it in the comment section of Scott’s Instagram account.
The actor, who has 755k followers, has been posting regularly since Season 3 premiered, and pretty much every post has been filled with fan reactions to Ginny & Georgia, which he always seems happy to indulge.
“Is Paul the father or is it Joe? C’mon answer PLEASE,” a fan asked on one post, to which Scott replied: “No one knows. Not even our creator.”
On another post, somebody asked: “Are you still mad at Georgia about the pregnancy thing,” and Scott wrote back: “I’m sure Paul is…me? I’m over it.”
And recently, fans noticed that ever-obliging Scott had seemingly misinterpreted a fan’s comment as they clocked his incredibly earnest answer under a carousel of his personal photos from filming Season 3.
Using what can only be described as “stan language,” one fan referenced Paul and Georgia’s split as they commented on the post: “i am a child of divorce,” which Scott appeared to take pretty literally.
While many praised Scott for his empathetic response, some did admit that they were confused by his decision to open up so much in his comments. One popular reply reads: “The way he just started trauma dumping 😭😭😭”
“This is just so sweet and funny😭 this is what happens when a offline celeb tries to interact with their chronically online fans,” somebody else wrote.
“not the random lore drop im crying 😭😭” another added, while one more asked: “Why is he trauma dumping on ig comments 😭😭😭”
However, when his apparent blunder was pointed out to him, Scott insisted that he had been in on the joke the whole time. A well-meaning fan explained: “she means that since you and Georgia got divorced she feels like she’s a kid of divorce bc she was rooting for u and Georgia.”
