Unsung Heroes

Hey guys, it's BlackIris,

After what happened this morning with the fight with Andy and Juliet on the plane and her apology this morning, I feel I have to say something before people jump to conclusions.

I have had the pleasure of meeting Juliet a couple of times. The first was through her Depop page when my friend (who's known her for years) and I purchased a package that came with an hour long Skype session with her, and the second was after an Andy Black concert, and this is what I have to say about her.

She is one of the sweetest, funniest, most adorable people I have ever met. When she answered the Skype, she was in her pj's, with no makeup, and Femme and Crow were wrestling next to her. We talked about anything and everything and she was so thankful for our support and we talked about all kinds of stuff.

If you listen to the video of the fight, and read what she wrote in her Instagram apology, she makes something clear right off the bat, other than the fact that it was her own fault for getting drunk at high altitude and she owning up to it:

Juliet and Andy are trying to have a baby, and it has been really hard. She mentions a miscarriage, and for those who don't know the affect that has on the body, I'll explain, because it explains a great deal of what happened.

When a woman get's pregnant, her body is flooded with hormones, and if she ends up miscarrying, those hormones are doubled and go all over the place, making the woman emotional, irrational, and vulnerable. On top of that, it's a period of mourning because she lost her baby. Juliet is in a very delicate and vulnerable state and it got so bad she felt she needed a couple of cocktails to make herself feel better, and unfortunately, she was on a public plane at high altitude at the time. When I met her in person, she gave me a big hug and I could feel how tiny she was. She's very thin (not unhealthy she eats she's just very physically active) so alcohol has a much stronger and quicker effect on her body than it does someone with more body fat than her.

For her to get that emotional to the point where she has a breakdown, it is a great possibility that she's had at least one more before, meaning her body is still trying to get the baby hormones under control, but that takes a long time to happen. She and Andy want to have kids, and they're trying, but there could be another factor playing a part,.

There is a strong possibility that a biological factor is playing a role in her miscarriages. She can get pregnant, but her body might interpret the zygote as a foreign object and try to get rid of it, or her uterus can't support it. It could also be a weight issue and she needs to gain weight to carry a baby to term.

Those are all speculations, but I wanted to make a point before people judge her before getting the full story.

And also, for her to post the way she did and mention she's celebrating Halloween with him and their animals clearly indicates they've talked things through already and moved on.

Juliet owned up to getting drunk. She didn't blame the alcohol, she blamed herself. She says she should have had better judgement, and that it was not okay for her to publicly humiliate Andy as well as herself, and that she's sorry to him as well as everyone else brought into what's going on between them.

Her getting pregnant and miscarrying is their business that got aired without her being aware of her surroundings.

I don't know about any of you, but as someone who has seen her without the cameras and without people around and knows she's a kind, selfless individual who cares about her family and Andy and her career, I forgive her.

I don't think there's anything to really forgive, but I do. Because I trust her to do better, and get better. I hope that when she and Andy try again for a baby, they have all the facts and know what the risks are so that this pregnancy sticks, and we get little baby Biersack to fawn over and love and cherish.

For all of you jumping on the "Let's all attack Juliet" bandwagon, please consider these factors before making a final call. If you don't like her because she's with Andy, grow up. Like seriously, get over it. She and Andy love and care for each other, and that's all that matters. If you're not a fan of her music, I understand it's not for everyone, but please don't judge her based on one source.

If you want to read her Instagram apology, which I highly recommend you do, it can be found on her official profile which is @thejulietsimms.

I will say this though about her Instagram post. When I read the comments -- which I don't normally recommend since they tend to suck -- I expected unending hate. What I say were Simms and BVB fans alike all giving her unending love and support, as well as understanding of the situation. Some obviously were upset, but at least 95% of what I saw what positive.

Notes

I will be updating soon, I just finished my midterms and have more time on my hands :)
