Mel is gone, they edited this part out of the pod
Well the part where Joe mentions her name.....
Ironically, it looks like they are already running into the same problems. Unless Mona was mocking Mel.
Im not a fan of using someone to get a joke off and not really speaking to the issue, but that's Joe's thing. The reference to Mel dating Marc was disrespectful. Not saying it's better if she was there, but the joke could come off as more light hearted.her not being there comes off as bitch shit especially if she no longer with the pod.
To me, Mel being or acting like a feminist made her a bad fit for the pod. Alot of her opinions came off bias. As a woman, we expect to hear the woman's perspective, but there is a difference in that vs never calling out bullshit. That said, there were more than a few times she wasn't allowed to complete her thoughts like most of the cast. I mainly didn't like everything being because im a woman. ignoring the fact the overall the cast got the same treatment with the exception of Parks and for the most part Ice.
If she's gone, I wonder if it coming out that she fuck Marc and allegedly E made her feel uncomfortable. Mel's whole thing is wanting to move away from the video girl image to the point of looking down on some and their alleged behavior.personally, I wouldn't view her any differently, but others would say that's typical behavior and the cast definitely would have used it as a joke.it also didn't help she flirted with Ish initially.you can't look down on birds and fly with them at night.you can't talk about Superhead just because you zig instead of zag. I respect women who are open about who they are and don't judge. Except running trains. That's disgusting and no I've never taken part.to me, Mel had nothing to be ashamed of assuming that is part of the reason for leaving.
Side note. Flip may not know how to work around women. Maybe not in the worse way. Ive seen men who's natural instinct is to help women. The problem is these men usually aren't as helpful with men, so it's taken negatively by women. In their mind, you are either flirting with them or you don't believe the are capable of doing the task.
