Real Talk
The Netflix reality series reveals that objective reality is out of fashion even in interpersonal relationships.
Real estate agentAlex Hallstands tall, unbothered.
While adjusting her bikini, Alex coolly assures the group that the quote doesnt refer to any of them.
And do they really believe shed lie?
You lie, constantly, one colleague replies.
Alex counters, If you dont believe me, then thats your choice.
In Season 3 of the Netflix reality TV show, the truth is what you make it.
So later that same episode, when its revealed that Alexdidslander one of her co-workers, shes unfazed.
… And if my truth isnt good enough, thats a you problem.
Alex employs the latter repeatedly when pressed to admit her fib.
(Thats not my truth, she tells an increasingly indignant Ali.
I dont lie.)
I know my truth.
Whatever your truth is, own it, Tyler echoes.
He eventually confronts Sean about this, and it gets heated.
The discrepancy rears its head repeatedly throughout the seasons eight episodes, drawing in the entire cast.
By the end of the season, Sean hasnt owned up to anything.
When confronted with a truth, they shrug; when caught in a lie, they filibuster.
Real estate is a side plot, at most.
There are no heroes here, only expert performers.
The full, unedited story is never presented, so for all viewers know, theyre adjudicating flawed evidence.
When two different people each claim to hold a version of the truth, whos to say they dont?
