Scott further shares her thoughts on Whitney’s emotional journey, saying, “I find it very fun and, also, sadly relatable, it’s embarrassing to say. For a younger version of myself, it’s relatable.”
The love triangle between Whitney, Isaiah and Canaan raises questions about Whitney’s future relationships. In Scott’s words, “Whitney is on her own journey… there’s hope that she eventually lands in a place that is remotely healthy.”
